What compressor should I get?

[496 BB]

All I got as of now is bags but plan on putting in a 5 gallon tank with on board air at each wheel well housing for air tools and filling of tires if need be. I had the little Air Lift basic compressor and it lasted for about 4 years so Im not all that mad about it. I just want something alot faster but not super fast. I will not be filling my bags off of the tank so its not instant air. Im looking at the Viair Dual 400C. Anyone running this?

I also would LIKE to keep these outside the cab if possible. I was thinking of running them in a vented box or just a battery box mounted to the frame rails somewhere. These have remote filters so I could run those in the cab or somewhere else.

Opinions.....

Wtf noone has any on board air????

Friends of mine use Viair and love them but I have no clue what ones and how they would work with tools. Remember it is the CFM to look at and Duty Cycle.

You need to look into air zenith. Mostly used for air-bagged mini trucks, but its a damn good compressor. I've had viars and I like them but I like the air zenith better.

I used to run dual Air Zenith compressors on my mini truck. They would fill 10 gallons pretty damn fast. They worked awesome. Wiring is key also (for any electric compressor); they draw a lot of amperage.:thumb:

Explain to me what duty cycle is. If I get dual 400c's then the recovery is greater and price is cheaper than 1 Air Zenith but duty cycle is lower on Viair.
