Air compressor connection

Air compressor connection
I just purchased a 2016 RAM 3500 Laramie crew cab 4x2 short box with the 6.7-Liter I6 Cummins® Turbo Diesel Engine and AISIN transmission it also has the air suspension.
Since it has an air compressor to operate the exhaust brake and the air suspension does anyone know if there is a connector I connect an air hose too to inflate tires with?
My previous truck was a 2003 RAM 3500 and I installed a Packebrake exhaust brake system and it had a high pressure air connector which came in handy when camping.
Thanks

The air system on my 16 half ton is a closed loop system that uses nitrogen and an air pump as opposed to an actual compressor. The pressure is just transferred back and froth from the tank to the bags so there are no filters or water drain required for lower maintenance. You can't use the air for anything useful unfortunately. As for the exhaust brake, the turbo on my 12 is the standard stock VGT and is all electronic, no air to actuate the brake. I can't say for certain but I'm sure the newer trucks are the same.

The factory Air Compressor or any small little job, will not provide the volume needed to inflate tires it is way too small.
If you need a movable unit get a spare portable steel tank and fill it prior to trips.
