what about running the air compressors they use in lincoln's and cadillacs for the air ride suspension???

 

just go pull a york 210. out of a bout load of cars pre 90s. or get a viar 480 dual pack. and i hate sandens.

 

They have had air compressors that use the spark plug and cylinder for years. I carry one in my bag of tools. I you replace the spark plug and replace it with a fitting and start pumping. A tire going boom from an air/fuel mix is the least of our worries considering what we do on the trails.

 

any good

 

i took a hausfeld 3 gallon compressor and split the motor and ran air lines to the rear bumper i run the compressor motor with a power invertor

 

How do you lube this compressor? Ive converted a few GM a/c's but never get much more then a couple dozen uses. burned up bearings.
Ive even added a self oiler to the intake side.

I know Several York have their own internal oiling system.

Can you share?

 

i decided this is what i wanna do. i got a small dual head compressor from work which puts out only like 4 amps. so if i get an inverter everything should be hunkydorey..

how big is your inverter? I WAS LOOKING AT A PEAK MODEL FROM AUTOZONE. 800 watts..

 

I have oil in the crank case of the compressor. The separator takes it out and then returns it back to the compressor crank case. I have it set up automatically. That is why there are two pressurized air lines to it. Kilby enterprises has a manual system for this for the York. I just adapted it to the Sanden and used it with some ARB air valves run by some relays. One thing is that I keep the crank case unpressurized when operating so it will have a tendency to force any oil back in to the case when operating. It only really leaks past when sitting and doing nothing.
