I follow both of your threads so I'm usually checking in when updates are posted. This statement has me curious:

I bet if you ask anyone who has had a good functioning York if they would ever go back to electric pumps, the only thing you would get is a bunch of funny stares, "like are you crazy!"

BTW - I run my system at 200 psi and it takes it just a little over 90 seconds to fill 8 gallons when completely empty. Try that with an electric system...

My current system is 6gallons @ <200psi & fills w/2 Thomas comps from Ride Tech. If my dually is air'd out & I need to fill it to raise up to ride height, my comps cycle on for maybe 3-4mins. I also don't see any strain on my charging system (gauge stays consistent around 14v w/the comps running). I had over 6yrs of daily trouble-free use on my last Thomas comp on my 68 swb.

I can see the York if you have a huge demand for air but for simple stuff I don't get why the electric pumps get such a bad rep.
