I have not, but I do know that the York will handle it easily and others have connected all kinds of air horns to their York. With a tank big enough it wouldn't matter though it might limit the length of time. You really aren't going to go wrong with any of the above recommendations.

For a truck that size, personally, I'd go the same route I did on my truck, a converted York compressor that uses engine power. But the Viair that was suggested is a very respected unit.

2024-25 I pulled the the lighting harness, making sire all the lighting works well...and figured it would be an easier harness to take apart and learn from as well. The harness runs from connector C102, by the firewall to the front of the truck then takes a right turn to the passenger side and...

2024 Cleaning up the starter and making new wires for it. The 4/0 welding wire is actually closer to 3/0. Ended up changing the lugs for a better fit. internal layer of braid mostly cause it was already on the wire. Convoluted loom non-slit, gonna seal this up for this wire, It's EPDM and...

2024 Here is the t-tap that had been installed for the VSC's A/C signal. To address the t-tap on the A/C signal wire, I used a metri-pak bus and used that to house the A/C diode as well D104. In this pic you can see the old diode housing still wired. It's a bit bulkier, but otherwise I am...

2024 Here you can see the inside of the traditional electrical center used by GM in the 90's. After 20 some aught years the insulation has some damage due to vibration and here also you can see the large bus rail for the maxi fuses. Each rail has 4 terminals and there are two for the electrical...

Once I started looking, I just kept finding things I didnt like and needed to address. And to think it all started cause I put some grease in my ball joints. pressure switch for air compressor, floating. Need to move the welder to make room for the second battery. This is how the original...

2023 The Variable Speed Controller for the Flex-A-Lite fans died. Opened it all up and now I'll be addressing all of this wiring, ugh. While im here... Green wire goes to the A/C Compressor for signal override. Under this tape? Another t-tap. traced the ignition signal wire...fuse taps. No...

Roughly same timeframe 2023 Bought a new grill...can you spot the immediate problem? These aftermarket grills are not as robust as the OEM and not as robust as the older aftermarket ones either so Ive heard. If I'm going to go through the bother of plastic welding and fixing this I might as...

2023 More cleaning and finding issues...yikes... Cleaned and added Metal prep and rust remover. Adds a thin layer of zinc. After adding 2 Coates master coat primer. After adding 2 coates AG111 satin black. Here are some more process photos, hope they might be helpful.

2023 Addressing sound and heat. Luckily for me theres a lot of good science on these topics. There is also a lot of misunderstanding on the internet it turns out. People seem to be pretty passionate about this as well. I think it's because so much is at stake and it becomes an ideology. For me...

ok, so where was I... 2023 Unfortunately the suspension that was put in (which was good) needed maintenance (duh) but the guys at Reynolds assured me everything was sealed since it was a new system...well, it wasn't. and they hadn't greases the fittings when I brought it in...I also hadn't...

Thank you for your thoughts.

2023 Skipping past a bunch of non truck related stuff...(see above) The new vinyl floor came in, we wanted something robust that could get wet, muddy, whatever, and be scrubbed down and washed out easily. It was time to address the roof and the floor. Anywhere there was any possibility of paint...

Then, In November of 2022, tragedy struck the family. My sister who was a VA Nurse had just moved to the cabin and began work to transform the VA hospital in the area after building out a great program in San Diego. Was hit head on by a semi truck that swerved into her at the last possible...
