Jizzy,
Your truck talks to you ?
Don't believe everything you think....

Your truck's dash should tell you the psi of all 4 tires.

That does no good while a fast pump is filling or when deflating manually. But, to answer your reply, no. My 2010 only has a low pressure light. It
doesn't indicate which tire or the pressure.

That's not true. It has a lag, but once you watch it you can judge when it hits the number. It's super helpful.

The E-Z Deflator is my choice. It lets the air out quickly. No stooping around for a few minutes listening to a slow hiss. It removes the stem and
keeps it enclosed so you don't lose it.

Well, since I don't have one, I can't relate. I am a precision guy so watching numbers on my dash then running to that tire to stop it would be nerve
wracking!

Oasis deflators work the best. I set them at 12#PSI in 2005 and the setting hasn't changed.
I air all 4 tires down in the same time that everyone else airs one tire down. Go figure.
To air up, I use a dual compressor Viair Exreme system, a cheap Harbor Freight portable or my new Smittybilt CO2 Tank!
Go big or go home.

Yes, they display as long as the ignition key is turned. All 4 tires display at once. Never have to use a separate pressure gauge.

Here is a good cross section of tire deflators for reference:

Thanks for the link
Using a Currie for about 12 years. I like the feature of choosing different pressure depending on expected difficulty.
I noticed a bargain version now coming from China. Looks like a Currie knockoff?
When we wheel with friends most times my time to deflate is the fastest. Even the guys fudging an only going down a few psi whiel I go to 14psi.
The biggest drawback with the Currie is it is brass so your hands get discolored. Solution is to wear gloves.
Pressure accuracy is very good when compared to my refrence gauge.

My Gladiator features on board tire PSI in real time. So, for airing down or airing up, you need the engine running and the page selected on your
dashboard.

All vehicles sold starting in the US since 2007 have the tire pressure monitor (TPMS). Most all give the driver real time display.
Does the Gladiator send warnings when you air down to tell you your tires do not have enough air.
