Vacuum Gage For Yong Hang Compressor

I agree that having some sort of inflow measurement would be beneficial. Although from the feedback from my post it doesn't appear like people agree. I don't know what's up with that. Seems to be a no brainier.

I like the idea of what your truck has to monitor the air filter. Can this be adapted to the YH?

I no longer use the "gold thimble" filter that came with the YH and made my own which I find less restrictive and I can change the filter as needed.

It's called an "Air Filter Indicator" or "Airflow Indicator". This one is on a 2006 Chevy Silverado. I looked the part up and they want 40 bucks for it but I'd bet i could be found cheaper especially if you had any junkyards in your area. Also aftermarket companies might be cheaper. It can be plumbed into the intake hose pretty easily as it has a 1/2" hose barb for connection.

It's been awhile since I've seen these. I can remember seeing them mostly on GM & Ford mostly.

I'll look for one at Wal Mart etc.

Many thanks!

Been awhile since I've owned a either one because I've had my Nissan Frontier for 13 years.

Bought it brand new(original owner). Doesn't even have 60k miles on it.

Bought it in Maine 2006, moved to Florida and rode my Harley most of the time so the truck just sat. But always took care of it.

So now I'm back in Maine had it Ziebarted with the hopes it will be my last vehicle. Hoping 10 more years.

Ah a Mainiac! That explains it Were you born there or stationed at Limestone and decided you liked it?

Lived in Brewer for 6 months back in 83 from Sept to April. Replaced 2 frozen car batteries before I started removing them and bringing them in the apartment at night when deep cold was forecast.

I have 2 06 Silverados, a gas burner and a diesel. Both have less than 50K miles since I have a company truck and gas card for now. The only thing I have problems with is they're both on their 3rd set of tires. None have gone more than 20K or 6 years before they literally fall apart. That's the "Landfill Economy" for you.

Born in swamps of Louisiana. Still have the water rings around my ankles like what you see on those piers they put in the water.

When I granulated from high school rather than be drafted I joined the Air Force not knowing I'd be sent at Boring Loring AFB in Maine.

Worse part was being stationed there for 3.5 years. Not 4 years because I got an "Early Out" to use the GI Bill to get a degree in Electronics.

Went back in the AF Air National Guard to do 23 years total. Was a crew chief on KC135 Refuelrs.

Worked in the computer field for 30 + years. 

Retired and tired Burnt out!

Married a girl from Canada and to keep her happy, not me, we moved back to Southern Maine.

I don't think I ever had a frozen battery because never had a car when I was at Loring. I understand those who put tap water in their battery had that problem.

Brewer Maine.......never been there but I'm sure it was better than Limestone Maine.

I see you are in NM now. I'm sure that's warmer than Maine by a LONG STRETCH!

If you can keep a vehicle 10 years n Maine thats rare. They will usually rust out before the motor gives out.

If you want your tires to last more than 20k then you have to stop buying "recaps"...... Buy some good ole Michelin Tires with 'C' ply ratings for those big trucks you drive.

I just finished cleaning up the up the heads on my YH compressor in order to have them as a spare for the next time it craps out.

Never done one but if I don't have any parts left over it should be good.

The trucks have been in NM all their lives. Even Titanium doesn't last long in Maine between the road salt and proximity to the ocean.

I think I put on 10 pounds living there for 6 months eating lobsters for a $1 a piece. Can't imagine what they cost at a Lobster Pound these days.

All tires sold in the US including Michelins now have to be "engineered" to biodegrade at six years regardless of mileage. Of all the environmental legislation our nanny government has come up with, this takes the cake. The tire can look perfectly normal and have all of it's of tread, you get up 75 and it explodes. "Unintended Consequences?", this is what happens when Federal Agencies are allowed to write their own legislation.
