Make sure to get proper milspec switch and not the look alike Chinese lever version (cover plate screws usually not painted is the telltale) or even worse the push button version.
Decided to test out the new air compressor today (install pics here). So I went up Buffalo Pass to the Fish Creek Reservoir, which is 9800' elevation abd about 16 miles up an off-road trail.
I aired the tires down to 19 psi at the trailhead and I absolutely flew up the mountain. I was taking...
Thanks. The compressor is an Extreme Outback ExtremeAire High Output compressor, but it's milsurp.
I bought one of these refueling units on ebay to source the compressor:
Since the compressor came in a pair, I bought a second bracket too as I had intended to put the second setup in my...
Finished up the air compressor. Compressor is mounted on the bracket in the engine compartment. After the photo was taken the waterproof relay and circuit breaker got a healthy dose of RTV to further waterproof.
Output hose is routed to a 3 gallon tank which fits perfectly in the...
Didn't see any of the concerts or frankly do all that much in Sturgis other than get a three hole change on the Road Glide. Instead I rode the Black Hills, Needles Highway, Mt. Rushmore, Custer, then hit Devil's Tower to the Little Bighorn National Monument up in Montana on the way back. 1600...
Round 2 of air compressor install. Installed bracket in engine compartment together with fabricated rubber rock/dirt guard to keep it clean.
It required drilling a pair of holes in the tub for the support bracket, which I was very nervous about. A small pilot hole, followed by a small...
Never noticed that. Interesting. I thought the M1151A1 was 12K like the 1165A1.
ETA: This flyer indicates 12K, so I have no idea why that truck has the 15K number on it? RKIs please weigh in, I am really curious.

Like the title says. I'd like to find a good, easily sourced alternative to the GAA/G403 stuff I used last time I greased the vehicles. The real thing was quite expensive and is difficult to find.
I'm going to hit all lube points on both trucks but would like something to use in place of GAA...
The terminal side of the cable was hooked into a mini-distribution block on the compressor side, and then the compressor were powered off that block with some relays in between.
ETA: occurs to me if I get a slave plug I could wire up a slave cable, but those plugs aren't cheap and it's...
Came with a set of air compressors that I cannibalized to install in my HMMWV. It was originally part of the "Expedient Refueling System". Is this designed to plug into a genset, or a truck? One end has a heavy plug, the other end is positive and negative terminals.
I'm trying to decide...
