Where To Mount Pac Brake

I Have A Pac Brake For My Truck. Its Not Going To Fit In The Spot At The Front Of The Engine Because Of The Banks High Ram. Does Anyone Have Advice As To Where I Could Mount It?

Um I also have a high ram. What I ended up doin was getting a piece of 1/8 plate steel and mounting the compressor to it using the factory mount and cutting around the grid heater so it pushed the compressor toward the intake to clear the fan shroud. There are 3 holes on the flat infront of the heater block you can use to bolt it up. Basicly mounting it sideways. Then put a 90 bend in it to help hold it. I then got a piece of small flat stock and mounted it to the 2 original holes for the control valve and swung it around so it was inline with the compressor facing the battery. I put the heat sink and head toward the engine and the aux outlet toward the driver side. Didnt take long to make just alot of back and forth. Hope this helps alil.

The only problem mounting it that way is that it makes getting to the fuel filter a little harder. When you drain it you have to reach over the high ram in the small hole it creates. But you got to do what you can LOL!
