❤❤❤ when I put my system together I used 4 Viair air compressors because I don’t like my air compressors to be in the dirt and the bad weather, as well as high humidity and water. I put my. 4 Viair compressors in the toolbox of my pick up truck bed. I have an air pressure regulator that regulates the amount of air pressure that goes to my air horns, and it only takes seconds for me to have 200 psi but I’ve pumped it up to 250 psi and checked for leaks, and I had no leaks. I do have a conventional dial air pressure gauge that has two needles won the monitors, the air pressure in the tank and one that monitors the air pressure. That’s been regulated and released to the air horns. I have an air pressure gauge right in the cab of my pick up truck. Bet your conventional needle air pressure gauge, but I do have a dual air pressure gauge that is digital and I’m thinking about installing it just for a cool unique feature in the cab of my truck. ❤❤❤ I did set up my system where I can plug in an air hose and blow up my tires or somebody else’s if they have a flat. I have $3200 worth of air system in the toolbox in the bed of my truck and everybody that seen it is totally blown away of what I constructed. ❤❤❤
I thought I'll check this video since there aren't many on board air write-ups for 2nd gens. First thing I noticed is the tag on the compressor is the specs for both combined I believe since it's a dual compressor kit. The compressor can really be mounted whenever but you can relocate the air intake to a dryer spot. The wiring and install job is done pretty good. I have a 7 gallon tank I believe off an older 2 ton truck using the bracket and it's attached to my receiver hitch. I have the compressor back there too. I also add a triple gauge pod to my truck on my dash for trans and boost, added an air pressure gauge in the empty spot.
Great freaking install video! Other folks installing anything on their vehicles should watch this and take note. Very neatly done and will explained. Finally somebody knows what they're doing when it comes to an install video
I enjoyed watching your install and your narration is spot on; not boring. Is your pump working well? I'm asking because I thought the cylinder is supposed to be mounted in the vertical position instead of the horizontal position. I'm considering mounting the Viair Heavy Duty pump P/N 10005 on my truck.
❤ I love your video I have 4 VIAIR air compressors in the toolbox of my pick up truck, just for airhorns and nothing else I’m looking to find out if the company actually sells new seals for the compressors 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Question the power wire that runs from the battery is huge compared to the red power wire that comes out of the compressor.. my question is how do you connect that big power wire I'm guessing 8 gauge to that small relay?
Great video. What's the smallest air tank that the compressor could work with? I wanna do this on a Prius to prep it for some heavy load in the rear., 100kg ish at the hitch. Any idea how many minutes would take to lift the rear (roughly speaking) to stock with a small tank? Just trying to get some ball park numbers to see what's doable.
You have a lot of cool ideas. Hopefully some day I'll get around to doing some of these projects on my 01. Unfortunately I need to get it running right first and it needs major engine work.
Thanks for this. I am going to do somewhat the same. As I have a old argon tank I can no longer get filed. And use it as a air tank. Then plum a compressor to it.
it is a good idea to run the filter to a clean dry place, in the glove box or under dash,,I have lots of experience with these and it helps the plastic air filter housing from getting over heated,the pump gets hot,,it also helps the pump last much longer. jmo
No professional air hose cutters!...ugh...I think I have a left handed set up...(lol..right tool right job) no but seriously...any concern about vibration cutting through the air hose line where the hose comes out under/behind the fender?
Where did you get all the fittings you used? I tried to find one similar at the big box store but the ones I found were plastic and rated for water line.
there are a couple of issues I see, one is heat from the engine bay causing premature pump failure, and heat causing excessive amounts of water from the air being hot leaving the compressor, condensing to a liquid by the time it gets to the tank.
This is an oiless compressor. Mounting it side was will wear out the piston ring faster then if mounted upright.(dont believe me call them, tech support will agree.) Also the IP rating is a 67. It can be mounted under truck.
Very informative video the best out right now. Well detailed and I lile how you're clean with your work. I'm looking to install these myself on my 65 C10 fleetside long bed. I was wondering how you got that pack that came with that T fitting to connect your pressure switch. I've looked and they only have the 1/4 T fitting without threads. Pls help Mahalo 🤙
I was thinking the same thing. Probably need a tee after the check valve to the back of the guage/switch like on the Firestone 2097 kit. I gotta think about it.
great vid you made it look better than a professional job. I'm not kid'n either I had some wiring done and it looks totally ugly wire every where. That cost 400.00 because I didn't bring any tools with me.
3.5 cfm AT 0 PSI, OR Free Air. Real numbers are more like 40psi and 90 or 100psi, which get lower the higher ya go. DON'T solder wires to relay, they do fail and need replacement. You can also overheat the inside making it fail instantly or sooner. Use proper spade terminals, ideally a relay connector making relay replacement a simple unplug then plug in new one...super easy
I got lost on how you ran and hooked up your pressure switch to the ignition and separate switch please help I am getting my compressors to run but they wont shut off
I have a question I got one blue wire connected to the battery and I have another wire connected to my black ground wire in my 65 Chevy Impala when I try to reconnect it my airbag situation is not working.can someone help me troubleshoot my wiring set up
Mate been using this compressor from 2-3 weeks now the compressor is heating when i start it and after few minutues the compressor slows down and stops
Hey if you could please reply to me i'd really appreciate it.I've been searching for that pack that you showed in your video that came with all these T Fittings, I'm having an extremely hard time finding that 1/4 ''Threaded T'' Fitting that you connected your pressure switch. If you could get back to me mahalo.I've just purchased the dual Viair 444c.
Those specs on the compressor are wrong! That is for a 2 pack of compressors. Your amperage and output is divided by 2 when you only buy one compressor!!! Half the amps half the cfm!!
You should never mount Viair compressor or any compressors sideways or upside down they will make your compressor break down and stop working cause they way the piston is inside the head of the motor and water from moisture can be trapped to cause damage to your compressor....Just sayin............

Outstanding install video! You covered each step perfectly along with sharing your ideas on how to make the instal easier. Thank you very much

You had the best video I've seen yet I got stuck at the relay I don't understand electrical I have to keep watching to understand it
Question the power wire that runs from the battery is huge compared to the red power wire that comes out of the compressor.. my question is how do you connect that big power wire I'm guessing 8 gauge to that small relay?
Thanks for the video, trying to find space on my truck is challenge, I'll try to fit my compressor in the engine bay too.

does the heat from the engine negatively affect the performance or amount of time you can use the compressor before it gets too hot and shuts off?
Hey great job with this video! A question... can you run a mini spray gun with these 12 volt compressors?
Thanks for this. I am going to do somewhat the same. As I have a old argon tank I can no longer get filed. And use it as a air tank. Then plum a compressor to it.
Great video!!! Just wish you would have shown how you routed the wire through the dash.

Great job, well done, thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding work.
Can this setup be used for rear suspension air bags? How would you regulate the pressure? Thanks.

What is the air compressor used for on your vehicle. I could not figure out the purpose?
What air intake do you have? I like where it’s located.
I was wondering how did u connect the pressure switch to the relay or u connected to the switch in side the cab
3.5 cfm AT 0 PSI, OR Free Air. Real numbers are more like 40psi and 90 or 100psi, which get lower the higher ya go.

Nice clean install .
Thanks. could you tell me where did you buy the extra parts especially the 1/4" tee and screw & quick connectors
Parker Fittings - - they have a complete catalog online . .. it is a pretty Big File, so be patient... however they even do English NPT
Video on the tank type and installation available??
u should mount hte compressor upright
it will last much longer
Great. What the name of the electric wire? (Silicon???)

I got lost on how you ran and hooked up your pressure switch to the ignition and separate switch please help I am getting my compressors to run but they wont shut off
any issues with the installation or mount location? anything you would do different after 2yrs?
Well here we are 2 years later
I have a question I got one blue wire connected to the battery and I have another wire connected to my black ground wire in my 65 Chevy Impala when I try to reconnect it my airbag situation is not working.can someone help me troubleshoot my wiring set up
Anyone know if these compressors need oil? I have one that seized after about two months of on and off use with air horns?
Your fuse needs to be as close to the battery as possible. If you short the wire behind the fuse it won't help you any.
Great and detail video. Thanks mate
Very well done video
So how do I connect the other pump if I have two
How many amps does your fuse have? Thank you.
Thank you *****
Mate been using this compressor from 2-3 weeks now the compressor is heating when i start it and after few minutues the compressor slows down and stops
Nice vid, thanks for the upload.
Well presented, 5 stars!!
Do it hurt mount on its side
It's best to mount it right side up and NOT sideways
Hey if you could please reply to me i'd really appreciate it.I've been searching for that pack that you showed in your video that came with all these T Fittings, I'm having an extremely hard time finding that 1/4 ''Threaded T'' Fitting that you connected your pressure switch. If you could get back to me mahalo.I've just purchased the dual Viair 444c.
Go to a shop that sells parts for 18 wheelers, they have parts for air brake systems
Even Home Depot as a back up/emergency.
you lost me at the pressure switch. i have 2x viair 450s and i need to bbe able to toggle mine off while engine is running.
Helped me so thank you
cant see to find the metal tee. I clicked on the link and didnt find the fittings
nice setup!
Yeah Man, I'm just seeing this great Job Dude !!!!!
link for the compressor?
Those specs on the compressor are wrong! That is for a 2 pack of compressors. Your amperage and output is divided by 2 when you only buy one compressor!!! Half the amps half the cfm!!
Well done sir.
Very nice review. Thanks
Great video Thanks!
SWEET ! Thanx !
Nice job
good job
Cool thanks for sharing
Didn't hear it work?
BRAVO !!!!!!
where did you get your 1/4 by 25 hose? geRAMicc85
Ebay, Amazon, Harbor Freight are a few places to procure the hose
the box said 10 horse power -mr. regular
Your truck is a 2wheel drove correct
Not supposed to put the pressure switch in a line!!
Trooper
Why not?
I'm doing all research and watching a lot of videos and taking notes.
Planning on bagging an 86 el camino on 13" wire wheels
8:36 nice jod

no it did not how to make it shut off
Hello there,, please can I get your email to contact you if I have any questions for installing air suspension kit on Cadillac deville 1968 ??
Compressor on its side will wear the ring out quicker and uneven. Dont believe me ask Viair.
