Air Tank
I have air ride on my truck and was wanting to add a air hose in order to fill up my tires if I ever had to. My Trailblazer has this feature, http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=47953 which got me wanting to do the same to my truck. Lemme know if you've done it and maybe steer me towards a site where I can pick up some nice hoses n such. Also post pics of your setup.

Re: Air Tank
Good idea if it's feasable.

Re: Air Tank
Easy enough, all you have to do is pull a spare plug out of the air tank and then plumb either a hard line or a hose to a convenient and hidden spot. then just put a air hose chuck (like on an air compressor in your garage). then you could get any air hose of your choice and run any air tool that your system could keep up with.

Re: Air Tank
I put a quick disconnect in one of my spare tank ports to hook up an airline just like you are talking about.
the only issue is when the tank is at 175 psi and connecitng/disconnecitng the line. thats a lot of pressure. |

Re: Air Tank
I run one on my GMC, have an airhose connection on the tank and put a 20 foot hose in it to fill stuff up. Also useful to feed the truck off of shop air supply when I felt like playing at work.
