a sticky sounds good since this thread is what got my edc running and i knew barely anything to begin with so this helped alot. its got some pretty good info for others who want to do this!!!!
just an update:
compressors working mint and the first little while it was spitting out alot of oil(10w 40) but now its not as much i guess its worn in. this is a very very good upgrade to do!!!!
ive been running mine since 2006 and changed oil in it once...0 to 150 psi 1min-30 secs...15 gallons of air.never had any problems
i filled mine up the night after i drove it. (only driven for 2days since i got it insured) im hitting the switches alot for the first little bit since everyone around me has never really seen a bagged ride in person, there all so amazed and that makes me feel good that ive done a good job.
my pumps only got 1 wire....... but i hear it doesnt need a ground wire because the pump actually grounds itself im right? right? lol I unclipped the plug fine I didnt see any snipped wires.
^ You are correct - pump is self grounding
thats wut i heard but i got mine off a early 90s vw passat and it had 2 wires
thanks alot man you made this shit so easy, i got the barb fitting coming in the mail and after that its all about plumbing everything....
is it normal to get some oil in the tank?? im guessing some gets past the trap but is this normal?
yes, its normal.
rust preventative, lol.
