Any pics of Onboard air installed on a Cummins?

I'm planning to run a York pump....just looking for ideas !

Do you mean electric or mechanical?

I think it's possible to get one of the pumps that bolt onto the engine, but something tells me it won't fit under the hood...

 

mechanical

 

anything is possible.

I think a there would be plenty of room for a York over next to the alternator above the line to the intercooler. Might have to do some custom work on the air intake to the filter to make room.

You can get double pulleys for the alternator and drive from it IIRC.

Thats how this kit for a 24v works. Kilby doesn't offer brackets for a 12v.

I built an onboard air sytem out of an old AC compressor on my bronco II. Works great, I just hit the AC button and bump the idle up to about 2000 and air away. I put in a pressure shutoff switch from an old air compressor that disengages the clutch around 130 PSI. Best of all I only have a total of $5.50 in it and that was for one air fitting I didnt have, everything else I had laying around. I have used it numerous times to air up tires. I put a filter on the intake and put some oil in it every once in a while. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

 

EDIT: Sorry, I hit quote instead of edit

The York compressors are usually easy to find. I picked one up off an old ford LDT for $5 to put on my rock crawler project.

 

The York A/C turned into air-compressor set-up is so popular, on one of the 6.9 International/Ford discussion forum sites, that a couple of the members have designed, and are marketing, mounting brackets for the engine.

I would rather have one PTO style; there is enough stuff already under the hood.

 

Never though of doing it that way, guess none of my rock rigs have PTO capability.

On our trucks though put a PTO on the NP205 and you could put the trans in 5th and drive it fast enough at idle. Would only worked when parked with the tcase in N though. Otherwise just put it on the Getrag PTO for more fulltime use I guess.

I have a OBA setup in my Rock truck.

Just wondering if anyone had a trick way of bolting one onto a 5.9......

I'll have to fab something up....
