Third, most vehicles that your talking about, class 5-8 trucks built by paccar use an air system for brakes as well as thier air suspensions. This being said typically all these type of compressors run 100% of the time, while the engine is running. They use a pressure regulator and a blow off to keep thier air tanks full. This means there is no clutch on the compressor just a pulley.What we need for our rides is something with a clutch so when the tanks are full the clutch will dissengage from the compressor and allow it to freewheel with minimal drag on the engine. Also, what we are talking about are compressors that have thier own oil sump for thier own lubrication. Some of the class 5-8 compressors bolt to the side of the engine and share engine oil. THis obviously would be difficult to get to work in our applications.I pulled my 210 off a 79 ford E150 in the local pull a part and took it home for $28. Of course I had to figure out where to mount it and then make my own bracket but it works and looks factory....
Yeah, I don't know that much about these compressors. I just started reading about this and thinking about getting one a few days ago..
I coppied that part number from an auction I found on e-bay.. The auction says its a york but the gave that part number towards the bottom where people can ask questions..
