Thank you everyone for the information.
Just picked up my Raptor last night. It is in great shape but previous owner was a carpenter not a mechanic. Tire pressure was 35psi in all 6 tires. took two stops to find a compressor that would go to 80psi without waiting 10 minutes per tire (truck stop). lost one tire due to a slice in the sidewall. luckily I have a sharp eyed wife who saw it while watching me wrestle with a gas station pay compressor to get the tires up to 60psi. I learned that my floor jack I brought with me was too wimpy to get that beast up off the tire. Walmart parking lot at midnight 12 ton bottle jack 5 minutes we were one our way. I can only imagine what a truck stop on I20 would have charged to swap tires at 1am, and I now have a very capable bottle jack to keep stored on in the trailer.

I really like the idea temp measurement reading on the TPMS to warn you of a problem before you loose air pressure.

Thanks again for the help
