Okay....

I spent the day plumbing in the main lines and manifold for the air compressor. I used 3/8 inch air hose by Goodyear. All the fittings after the oil separator are 1/4 pipe. The line into the oil separator from the compressor is 3/8 air brake line with a 3/8 inch pipe connection to the separator. The manifold includes an adjustable pop off valve, 90-120 psi switch and a 0-160 psi gauge. The gauge is on a tee and one end is plugged at this time, I might install a dash gauge from this source. The tank has two lines from it at this time. One goes to the manifold and the other to the regulator for the ARB system. I have enough fittings and tubing to finish the job, must have spent $100.00 on the darn things. I stopped there because the next stuff requires removing the dash again and that will happen after I run the wire and relays for all of the lights. The air lines for the ARBs will run into the cab with the light wires and propane controls. The tank is plugged at the other end, I intend to install a coupler for an air line at that end.

The manifold is mounted on the edge of the stock battery tray and under the air cleaner. I can see most of the manifold from the top and the oil separator from the passenger side.





The lines from the tank.



And the location of the regulator.



I removed the 5 inch shackles and installed six inch shackles.



Her butt does not sag anymore. I hate saggy butts.

A real man builds it... Then his wife points out all that he did wrong.
