Yes. Needs inline oiler.

I use a york compressor and 2.5 gal air tank. Wired to stock ac button that idles up rpms when pushed.

Higher rpms mean more Cfm.

One mod I can't live without

It needs to be on the inlet side of the compressor, set to drip 3-5 drips per minute to oil the pump.

Read through this, it will explain what is needed to set it up. The system shown below does not have a oiler because it has a crankcase and is oiled that way, like a car engine is.

Dont forget to put a filter on it too,so you dont have a ton of oil going out the end of the hose
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

This write-up shows an easy way to mod the York compressor to keep it from pumping so much of it's crankcase oil into the air tank/ lines/ tools/ tires/ etc.

http://www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/york_mod/index.asp

Be sure to read down the page, i did the 'behind the clutch' mod back in 2005 and i wish i'd seen this easy way first. To get ALL the oil out of your air lines, an oil/ water separator between the York and the air lines will remove the oil this mod doesn't. In my opinion, putting a York on your truck is a really good mod.

All those guys with the CO2 Powertank argue with me, but i never run out of air, and it doesn't cost me $25 to get it filled.

I am wondering if the oiling mod would work on a Mini York. Guess I will have to take it a part and see. I run the Mini on my 3.0 because there is not enough room for a full size York 210

A while back I saw a kit to covert the Toyota A/C pump into an air compressor might search around for that I think it was around the $100 range.
