the manifold for the air system, dryer, pressure setting, oiler.
the dryer is pretty cool since it is self draining.
very compact, good quality, practical ... other than the dryer filter and adding a bit of oil now and then it is self supporting.
the brass manifold attachment.
the feed lines to the 2 side step air tanks.
the connector should he want to use the air tools at the hood

And to think I just got you a fruit cake....well I guess it is the thought that counts.

Cool, like the mount.
It would be interesting if you could rotate the head of the york, then put the filter inside the air can or from the filtered air, that way youd be getting ait thats cooler than what your getting in the engine compartment. On my 80 I have the air pump under the hood, woulda almost rather of had the quick connect fitting on the bumper. Though for me the stupid charger on the hood is kinda heavy, and when its cold out sometime the shocks get tired and the hood closes by itself. But since I keep the air hose in the rear of the vehicle, I would be better off having it there, or having the air hose stored under the hood.
I like the clear filters bowels as well. Nice touch.

i could run a line from the air filter housing to the inlet of the York compressor filter, that would allow for deep water crossings with little or no water getting into the filter ...
nice suggestion, i will work with it and see what i can come up with when i get back.
90K?? wow!! that is pretty cool for a build thread.

I was thinking about Cody's idea lately too as I mounted my York yesterday. Only thing stopping me is I don't know if the negative pressure created by the engine would in any way hinder the operation of the York.
Thinking out loud here... say the York is not running and the engine air filter is getting old. The suction from the engine will create negative pressure on the clean side of said filter, which is where you want the York to draw from. So what effect does that have on the York, if any? How much negative pressure does a plugged air filter create? what do those little spring loaded filter service gauges show on them for suction? Would the York crankcase oil get siphoned into the engine intake?
My thinking is it really wont affect the York. One could always put a check valve on the suction line for the York preventing any flow the wrong way.
Same thing could apply to diffs and trannys plumbed to the snorkel for clean air, but you can't put a check valve on them. They need to breath both ways. But if you have your foot down while crossing water you could suck water into your diffs through the seals due to the suction of the intake air.

I think most of the time that the york will be used is when the air hose will be plugged into it, filling tires or air tools.
In which case the engine is at an idle and there is negligible vacume. The other thing, if wayne runs it into the air can near by, that is unfiltered air, if he wants to avoid the filter he could run it to the top of the air can, and maybe save a replacement part, or run it post turbo and get things pressured up a bit.
The other benefit would be heat, but I think those units are designed to handle that better than most electric aftermarket pumps.
Might be best evaluated through hindsight really.

Ooh I like that phrase. When I am on a conference call with my contemporaries out East and I say "God hates a coward" they always take me for an Alberta hick.
I agree that if you simply wanted the intake high and dry (and cooler) connecting the compressor intake to the unfiltered side of the canister would be very easy to do.

i had no plan to run the line to the filtered side of the filter, the compressor has its own filter.
i just like the idea of having a source of air that was not a direct port for water should a deep water crossing occured.
to be honest, that was the only reason i could see for doing this. sticking that little filter (that works fine on a 5 hp C/H compressor) was my solution to the dirty air situation, but never considered the ramifications should water get over the engine.
true, this setup will be a a water resistant solution since, if you sit in water long enough, water does find a way in.
i do not see any issues with the draw of flowing air through to the engine affecting the York. rumor has it, those compressors put up a very strong draw.

Awesome work Wayne and Mitch. I am glad I got the chance to see this truck when Eric and I were up there!
Have a Merry Christmas!

Its funny how we can spend time diagnosing such a simple thing.
I kinda like the idea of a barbed hose fitting or quick connect from the filtered air side of the can to the york, maybe with a simple check valve, but Im not really sure why it would need one.
Delete one filter, cool air that shouldnt be a problem if vehicle becomes submerged to the york.
I like the clear air line.

Simple test to determine if the York is affected by intake vacume..... Put your lips to the suction line and see if it flows 
Back in the days of Classic Tippy, say, '98 through about 2002, I had a york and drew fresh air from inside filtered side of the the engine air filter box. Never had a problem with that set-up.
For comparison...
In 2009, Three of us headed to NWT for a 2 week attempt on the Canol road. As you may know, it is a place that is very far from everything. So we took... everything. We had every conceivable spare except engine and tranny. Knuckles, leaf springs, complete third members, driveshafts, welding gear, axle shafts, fluids, and not to mention food and amenities for 2 weeks.
We scaled the trucks as we left Calgary:
Lowenbrau was lightest at 2950 kg in his S/O BJ74.
Shaker in his HDJ81 series was next at 3050 KG
I was sitting heaving in my S/O BJ74 at 3100kg.
