Got up today and read your posts, got out my little compressor from my 8, got the manuals from the big compressor in the garage (in case my little compressor pooped out), and proceeded to RTFM's for both. Then I decided to check the tire that read 29 and then 11 last night, and this time it read 26 - whew! So I put everything back and drove slowly over to Les Schwab (local tire store). I had the guy show me how to use my gauge properly, and had him check and fill every tire. The lowest they were was 26, and that was after driving 2 miles at no faster than 40mph on freezing cold tires. Now I just need to drive somewhere and see if the TMPS light starts flashing at 10 minutes again.

Thanks for the info guys. Now that I've had some time to try out the new gauge, I should be good. I'll follow your process next time. Hopefully they will be good to go for a while though!

I do think it would behoove me to check out the big compressor and get it up to snuff again. It's basically brand new - was used maybe 10 times, and just hasn't been used for about 3 years. Mfr is Campbell Hausfeld, oil-less, bought at Home Depot in 2004.
