Morrflate 10-6 Compressor

[Dougstdig]

Sure but if you want to mount it fixed (mine is under the passenger seat) you need a legit electrical install for that draw. My current one runs off the 40A aux so it’s trivial to install

Something important to look at is the Duty Cycle. The Dual ARB is 100% @ 6.2 or 6.3 volume, meaning you run it until you're done. I'm guessing it's better protected from heat. The one OP noted is "50% duty cycle (20min on, 10min off)".

I just got the new Morrflate TenSix with the 4 tire inflation hose kit. Its AWESOME so far. Our local Jeep group has been using the Morrflate's for a while and everyone loves the brand. One of our group has one with an issue- called Morrflate and they are replacing it without hassle.

Or until it stops, like every brand (not just ARB) I've seen installed in engine compartment of a Jeep in the heat here in Las Vegas. The ARB on the firewall was my "preferred" option, but they get too hot and 70% of the time you gotta turn off the truck, wait a while for it to cool off and then the compressor works. I was bummed, but his is why I went with the portable option.

Mine's under the front passenger seat with the under seat vent blowing right into the cooling fan that runs between the cylinders.

I didnt want that option for a few different reasons first, if the wife is in the truck hanging out while Im airing up, she doesn't want to hear the noise and the 2nd thing is I dont want my doors open with air lines because we get alot of strong winds and dust devils blowing sand all over the place.

I understand the noise, but it really isn't that bad. Using the Kraken system, you can click the doors shut...just not all the way and it airs up fine...all at once. I typically sit in the drivers seat so the skeeters don't have their way with me, and monitor the PSI via the display. When it gets to within 2 psi I get out and go back to the passenger side. I'll leave the system off to allow it to equalize, then rig down.

good to know, isnt the Kraken system like $800+ all in?

The base system provides the mounting plate, fittings and air lines...along with the locking air chucks. Additionally, it gives you a mini plate to mount under the drivers seat for the drivers side tires. It's $311'ish.

New since I purchased my system is an add on, which allows you to monitor and control the pump/switch/air pressure from your phone. It's $296. I may get down the line, but since what I have works well for me now, the additional $$$ can find a place toward my suspension.

The hose extension, not needed, in my opinion is priced high. You can go on the "A" and get the same or similar airline and fittings/chucks for far less than the $57 they're asking for.

@JTenn @Silverator @JarHeadLV or anyone else with the Morrflate, or comparable 4 tire system...

What do you think about the straight hose and wrapping it up to put away? Does it work well and have an automatic tendency to prevent kinks or twists?

I've seen the coil ones which seem like they'd put away faster. Or should I say, a single coil may put away faster, but with 4 it may just provide a lot of tangle points. I'm pretty sure the coil is less heavy duty too, but I think either would suffice in durability for me.

No tangle issues so far. I just wind up in a circle. As long as you keep them organized, no problem. Important thing to get it the rubber covers (they are optional to purchase) but when you "drop" your line and go to the next one dirt, sad, etc... can get into the valve and the rubber covers are very helpful to avoid that.

I've seen people comment they like their 1 tire or 2 tire inflator better because it takes longer to "clean up" and organize a 4 line inflator when done, but to me I like the 4 wheels done at same time- which also puts equal pressure to each tire. Overall the 4 tire system is alot faster than 1 tire at a time. The bottom line is do what works best for you.

Love the setup so far. The instruction video leaves a little to be desired. This is what I got out of it:

Once the 10:6 pro is powered up I think I understand to set pressure using arrows then on/off once to pressure then on/off again to power up or stop pump. The display stays on when there is power to the pump. Do I have that right?​

What the heck does the “M” button do? It appears to just change measurement units (psi, bar, etc).

I put an Anderson plug under the front bumper directly wired to the battery. Simple to connect the pump without opening the hood.

 

[JTenn]

@GladLad I have used the 4 tire system several times and it coils up very easily. I can have the whole thing coiled up and stowed away in its pouch in under 2 minutes.

@AustinKalb I haven't went on the instruction link for the 10-6 but I'm almost sure the "M" button is for manual mode. Meaning you control when to shut it off. I did read that in manual mode you can go as high as 150 psi as opposed to 120 psi in auto.

I wondered the same, and figure it's still a net benefit. Less leaning, less measuring, more just quick setting up and then going to watch the pressure inside (or gauge out auto stop). I may not start with a 4 tire kit, but I wanted to choose a proper inflator to leave the door open. And the single and dual cylinders we've been talking about in this thread does that.

The other benefit being equal inflate (and deflate if used that way). However, that did make me ponder a 2 tire system as I've never had a truck where I fill all 4 equally. I am currently as that seems to be the reco, just seems odd since it's usually weight based.

Thanks for the rubber covers tip.

 

[JTenn]

One other thing worth noting is I set the compressor to 35 psi. It shut itself off at 35 psi and I put a gauge on all 4 tires afterward. All 4 tires were dead on 35 psi as well as the tpms readings. This thing seems to be very accurate. I went through this procedure 2 times with the same results. My .02 on a 2 tire vs 4 tire system is go with the 4 tire. It will cut air up time in half and all 4 will be equalized.

That's fast. I'll be at a Jeep Invasion next week, so I hope I can see it firsthand from the vendors.

I didn't look at all the differences between the brands carrying the digital version, but your mention of the M maybe being manual mode surprised me. As mentioned previously, they don't recommend this pump for single tires as it ruins the duty cycle from back pressure. That was one benefit I thought the digital versions had; a button that could switch it from single to multi tire.

But maybe that's just the Ez Flate version. I can't tell what the buttons say on the Thor version, but their description says it automatically detects the number of tires connected.
