I installed a caterpillar master key battery switch. Wired it between the Truck master switch and where it hooks to the starter. When this switch is in the off nothing in the electrical system including the horn ,lights, fuel pump will work.

Like I said its mostly common sense. Yes use a clip on air chuck. Do not stand over or on the tire when airing up. Also if you are not comfortable with them and the maintenance by all means don't use them. I am more Leary from small car tires the sound they make when they pop on the rim I...
