This compressor will have a magnetic clutch installed on it driven by a smaller v belt that will run off the alternators pulley. This pulley will have serpentine notches and a v-grove for the belt, so if the compressor seizes I don't lose the whole truck!

Im trying to see if i could just get the bracket and get i different pulley

 

Excuse my ignorance but what is the purpose of this? I could understand it for guys that want to "slam" their trucks on "bags" (even though I don't quite understand that concept yet or why you would do it to a truck) but I see you have a 4x4 truck. If you are looking for emergency air why not just get a 5 - 10 gallon air tank that you can mount in the bed or even put in the cab for $30 - $50. When I worked in the garage (no longer work as a mechanic) we would always carry one around with us and they gave us plenty of air to fill up a tire or two.

 

I'd like to add that you can get a PowerTank for under $500 which is what the pro's use for offroad air.

 

Well you have a constant supply of air up to 125 psi(or whatever pressure switch you want), 10 CFM at idle, and you could run pneumatic tools.

I'm an offroad guy and have the same york compressor setup onboard my jeep. Its just one of those things that's you never knew you wanted until you had it plus its convenient when working in the field!

Ill also be able to inflate and deflate my helper bags whenever I need!

Power tanks are cool but I don't have to worry about filling up my tank, ever! I've also seen them run out on the trail!

Plus the junkyard kit is cheaper, ill go find an old volvo and take the compressor!!!

 

It would be nice to run tools while out on the trails. Never even would have thought of that. How much is a junkyard compressor.

 

looking forward to this one

 

Yea, I run my lockers with the same compressor and I've def used it to reseat a bead on a tire!

Whole setup with bracket and shopping around cost $450
The compressor is the cheap part, yorks are usually 30-50 depending on how shady a junkyard you go to!

I'll get a list of all the vehicles that use Yorks

 

Went to the junkyard on Sarurday and found this beauty in a 77 F150! The ports are an AC fitting but the insides are the perfect size to tap 1/4 NPT and 3/8 NPT

More progress on the compressor install.

All the parts are ordered, now i'm just waiting for everything to arrive!

Got the serpentine belt clutch, because I couldn't find a new or used alternator combo pulley anywhere.

Rap How-to On Nbs (keyed Accessory Power)

I posted this link because it has saved me once again from cutting/ drilling into my truck. All of my wires will come out of the electrical bus under the dash, to a rocker switch, then to the compressor Pressure switch, powering the compressor!

This port has the remote turn on, full time 12V 30A power source, and a ground port. Adding a relay onto this plug will give me a 12V 30A accessory hot for the compressor clutch.

These clutches will Absolutely DESTROY your battery if you don't use an accessory hot wire

 

UPDATE!

Compressor installed, and plumbed. The only thing i'm looking into now, is where to put my switch/ can use / replace one on the dash

Pics, PArts/ Price list to come!

 

Nice. Cant wait

 

How did this set up turn out? Any idea if it would work on a nnbs 2010 1500?

 

Its great, still kicking! Im sure it would fit!

York compressors used on many things Ford car and trucks, class 8 trucks(varying engines) tractors, off road loaders are just a taste, some use slots on bottom to mount and tighten belts, many times the bolts are stripped or cracked and will not hold freon-still ok for air just put sealant on bolts and check oil level, magnetic clutch available with groove or serpentine belt,, (easy to change put bolt to pull pulley off shaft) single groove or double groove pulley
