Endless Air - 1HD-T (1 Viewer)

[Douglas S]

I've been doing some light internet searching as I would like to eventually add some type of engine driven air compressor to my truck. I came across Endless Air in my search and they have a 1HD-T 80-Series kit listed on their site, but there are no pictures or details and a Google search doesn't turn up any more information.

Does anyone have any experience with this kit?




Cheers,
Doug

I should also mention that my ideal compressor is a York 210...I have one in my garage. So if anyone knows of a way to mount that up (while retaining A/C), that's the way I would prefer to go.

It's a modified sanden 508. There's a million threads on how to make your own. But the kits easier.

$1000 AU is a lot of coin for OBA! Plus shipping to NA! That's a spicy taco!

Kinda pricey when you can have a Puma 12v, 135 psi, 100 duty cycle for $250 USD. John

Any links? I want to retain A/C.

I don't know if you've ever used an engine driven compressor, but there's no comparison. It's all about CFM, not PSI.

Can't see it happening with AC. Or any Intercooler piping....

All the endless air kits retain the ac. Otherwise you would just use your current ac as the pump?!? Intercooler piping is a different story. WTA it will still fit. Front mount - no. . Ill post links when I get the chance. It's pretty easy to do. Block off the hole in the compressor plate so oil remains on 1 side. Also plug the return oil line and change the fittings to take an airline (from memory).

I like the looks of this one...I think this is a pic of the Endless Air setup.

 

[TheBigBoy]

Yep, that's the endless air/1hdt kit.

Yep, that's the endless air/1hdt kit.

That's a 1HZ pictured, no? Same kit for the 1HD-T?

My 12v electric compressor does 4 tyres in 12 mins coming off the beach. I know the endless air would do it quicker,but just how much time do you want to save?
I could never see the point of having any compressor in the engine bay,its just one more thing you have to work around.

If I wanted to speed things up,I would look at those compressed air tanks than can do 20 tyres.

The point of this thread is not to debate electric vs engine-driven, so please don't bother.

Here's another thread for mounting a sanden style compressor. I think it may be possible to squeeze a York in the same location.

Just curious as to what the big rush is to inflate a tyre? I could see a point with the endless air when electric compressors were rare or expensive.
A bit like the PTO driven winches which have faded away in favour of electric winches.

I'm planning to use this to run air tools on the trail and I also plan to convert my 80 to full air suspension front and rear someday.

I'm not completely convinced that an engine driven setup is what I need. It's just research at this point, but I do like the mechanical nature and inherent reliability an engine driven system offers.

I have a big York on my 350 chevy in my Piggy. Very familiar with the performance. My Puma in the 80 series will fill up a 315 tire from 15 to 35 psi in about 2 minutes, 15 seconds. I don't really think that is very slow. About a dozen of us in the local CSC club are running them, and nobody has had a problem with them yet, after several years of use. Some of us make 30-40 days of wheeling per year, so that is a lot of tires to pump up. John
