Thanks Mr. Jbulach! My apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I just spent 2-days in mistaken site ban purgatory (I thought the site was down, lol! It's all good now). I am very happy with the electrical air compressor's performance! I'm starting to get used to their additional...

Update: So as I've been driving the truck with the electrical air compressors, sometimes there would be a belt squeal, which would stop when I turned the switch for the air compressors to "Off". I have a 12V alternator above the stock alternator, which required one of the belts to be longer to...

I have test run the air compressors and relay power and they seem to work beautifully! https://youtu.be/WemTCVYnsuM However, as seen in the video, I've had some trouble with the little Pololu board listed earlier performing as I had hoped. On the product website there was a note about product...

A couple weeks ago when I was installing the filter on the second air compressor, I noticed what looked much like numerous internal cracks: So I sent an email to Extreme Outback Products with the above pictures, expressing my concerns:"...inside the air compressors it appears that the...

I remounted the Pioneer Tool Rack and one of the new air filters. It's a tighter fit than expected to get the shovel out, so a little bit of care is needed but it is still readily doable. Before finalizing the wiring to the compressors, I'm actually finally going to mount the two 24" Ibis...

I took the second Pololu board and soldered on the VIN and VOUT block terminals and the push button switch wires. I wish it had been designed for larger wires for the control switch. I then coated both sides of the board in the sealant I purchased earlier. I then zip-tied and super-glued the...

I also wanted to report, that after two days and one press of the brake pedal, the truck still registered 60 PSI in the system. :)

I was able to reuse one hole in the bottom of the dash. I did a final test fit then I used a wire wheel on a drill to prepare the surface for paint. First Dupli-Color Self-Etching Primer and then Rapco 383 Green CARC Substitute. I'm not a huge fan of metal work (hot metal and SHARP...

After some thinking and research, I decided to include on the panel a manual reverse light switch. I have the automatic one to install yet from Peashooter, but I still wanted the ability to manually turn on the reverse lights, such as if I were hooking a trailer up in the dark, by my self, or...

I moved onto some more electrical work. I decided I better address to power wire on the front-most electrical air compressor. It was only just barely long enough and I didn't want too much force presented to the Bussman ShortStop circuit breaker and having its electronics separate and short out...

I removed two layers of the plastic loom on the air-dryer electrical power wire and installed a thick piece of rubber hose instead for increased longevity. I installed the replacement 90 degree elbow and 1/2" push-to-connect, and was optimistic and zip tied the ensemble back together. The...

I've completed the new air brake hose routing to the air drier from the manifold. For added protection, I've covered each of the hoses in plastic split-loom. The plastic split-loom I used: Absolute USA SLT14 1/4-Inch x 100-Feet Split Loom Tube...

I've finished with the air hose connect. I will freely admit I messed up and mounted the lower Bussman ShortStop breaker too close to the bottom edge, partially in the way of this hose. Oh well, I'm not drilling new holes. So I added a bit of old heater hose around to protect from rubbing...

I replaced the cracked head. Inside, the piston wall was very shiny and clean: I've decided to run the power cable in front of the bed, and then under the front left edge: A butt-joint splice pulled apart on the rear compressor's ground wire. I was then able to break in my new, high...

Originally I had planned to tap into the Aux Power switch on the dash to control the circuit and relay (~5A). However, I thought I would get back to finishing my Air Dryer, and it has a heating element that needs to be powered (5A) on an ignition circuit. I haven't looked to see what gauge of...

:oops:

For the record, don't over tighten the fittings on the air compressor head. Apparently these are older style heads and they were prone to cracking. The good news though is that Extreme Outback Products sells upgraded replacement heads (P/N: 002-450) with gasket and cylinder o-ring for $30.00 +...

I added the Bussman ShortStop self-resetting circuit breakers, relay, high amperage power supply wire (not fully secured down, yet), and the clip for an air hose attachment. Besides the relay, air hose attachment borrowed for fitment measurments, and a 90 degree air fitting on the compressors...

Wiring cleanup in progress! The Blue Sea Systems Safety Hub 150 fit very nicely to the left of the battery box. It's bolted to the top support rail and the angled cross member, so only 3 bolts but it feels very solid. I have a Battery Tender on the other side of the compartment (which has more...

I didn't want to leave the air compressors yellow, even though the paint was fine. They'll match the deuce a lot better now. I'm not 100% sure how well the paint will last, long term, on the compressor head heat sink fins, but I think it'll be fine as I doubt they get HOT like the exhaust that...
