i just scraped 2 of them. one was still on the truck. 1975 IH triaxle dump truck. had a 3208 NA cat motor. thougt it was funny cause the motor was painted IH red with IH decals next to the cat ones.

unless you're planning on runing air brakes, its so much easier to put in one of the new high output constant duty electric air compressors for onboard air suspension and air tools. I've got a real stout one and a large air tank off a semi trailer and it handles an impact for tire changes no prmblem and works great for my air suspension with automatic leveler that is always dumpng and adding air going down the road
The electric jobs you can mount anywhere, no engine drag, and no worry about rigging up a belt takoff

Air tools yeah, mainly a train horn...

 

[crashnzuk]

The problem with those is that they run all of the time. If you have air brakes, that's what you want, if you are just using it for air sometimes, not so much.

He-he I picked up a pair of horns off an old Peterbilt a while back at a boneyard that I need to get mounted up

Ah ha, from what I see it's liquid cooled too. you need to hook into the cooling system for that unit.

How much? Shipping to 98844 would be good to know too. Where was it positioned on the 6.9? Drivers?
