that's why you utilize the compressor clutch, energized by the pressure relief/regulator valve, it'll kick on when you need it, and free spin when you don't.
Do your homework, and use the grey matter between your ears once in a while.
and about value retention, I sold a vehicle 2 years ago with a custom York OBA setup, the guy willingly paid me $500 just to keep it in the truck, I paid $150 for everything needed...... I've already built another one to install in my ZR2 after it's 4bt swap.

I totally thought you were gonna nail that radiator...

I quit listening when he said his good tools were craftsman.... Go buy some real good tools, like S-K, K-D, MAC, Easco, Snap-On, or Proto. Craftsman are junk, in my experience. Yes they have a lifetime warranty, but the since time is money, the time you spend to go replace the broken tool is better spent buying good quality tools to start with.

Whats wrong with Harbor Freight tools? They work good, cost less, And if some wanker jacks them from your truck your not out alot of money

Good stuff man!
nvm the ppl who have the mindset "stop making stuff that I don't like" y'know?!!

@vandamage02 yeah. that is a complete waste of time.
Why didn't you just buy a vair 480c compressor? My dual compressor setup is bolted under my chassis, costs $300.00 and took 1 hour to install. Why clutter your engine bay up with all that crap?

Why would I pay $300 for a electric compressor that doesn't put out as much air as my belt driven unit when the belt driven compressor and all the other components cost about $100 total?

1. you would use a seperate compressor because you can remove it when not in use, saving fuel
2. you've ruined the resaleability of your vehicle.

1. It's a Jeep any fuel savings would be offset by the time and effort to remove the compressor, and I use it enough that I would even think of removing it.
2. Again it's a jeep they hold there value very well, and if I ever sold it its a offroad 4x4 the buyer would likey pay a premium because of the extra componets.
