air compressor 6bt belt drive or gear drive
hi am looking into getting a air compressor for my truck that will run off of the engine with a clutch drive preferable but will look at a consant drive also my truck is a custom built 6x6 full air ride and my trailer is full air ride also so i have a totla of 10 air bags that need air i will be air ing them up and down allmost evertime i go to load the trailer to get a lower load height and then i will have to air back up to run down the highway so i need ALOT of air plus i have air hors on the truck and air ride seats and i would like to be able to have air for flats and tools i know the air pumps on the industrial engines are not real good at keeping up with air tools as the big semi wrecker i run has air brakes but it will not run a impact very well i have to weight for the pump to catch up that is a direct drive pump runs all the time i have heard about a belt drive pump that wil mount to the side of the 6bt and it a clutch style like a ac pump and it is suposed to be a high cfm and pressure pump so it should be able to run air tools llike impact and cut off wheel that use 90cfm min i dont have a problem with putting on air tanks to hold air i just need a good reliable pump to keep them in air the trailer will have two 5lb tanks for the 4 bags and the truck will probually have the same plus another tank for the tool supply any info part # pics links would be great

there is provision below the fuel pump to mount a gear driven compressor, hydraulic pump, anything. dont have a book at home, shoot me a pm as a reminder, and i'll look up the P/N at work in the morning.
