if your crafty, just grab a york air conditioner compressor off of a volvo. make a bracket and mount it on your engine. wire up a pressure switch to turn the clutch on and off to fill your tank. I got this on my bronco and it works extremely well. it will however puke out all of the oil thats in them. I just dump a few ounces in every 3 months or so then let it run dry. first pump lasted me over 1 year of no oil in it. and airing up many times all four 38.5x14.5 sx swampers when I left the trails approxamently 2 times a month as well as airing up many other rigs who did not have air.

What kind of psi will it pump? Is there anyone out there that makes a kit for the 7.3? That sounds like a good idea if it will maintain the high psi and put out a good psi.

well if you do not have a blow off valve or switch to control the psi it will keep going till something blows up. not uncommon for the yorks to go past 150 psi without some sort of pressure control

I bought a "mini york" , new off of ebay for 39 bux, and a new 2.5hp winch motor(12v). Couple those together with a 10 gallon tank and as long as your engine is running to replenish the battery you'll have around 2.5cfm at 90 psi. While you cannot continously run an impact gun at full throttle it ill replenish the tank quick enough for my old slow hands to go from one lug bolt to another.

I have a 12k winch which draws like 460 amps @ full load. it has a 4.5 hp motor I beleive. so running a smaller motor would probably have a current draw of 50-100 amps I would think. running a 10r york would probably need a bigger motor.

I could just get the 4.5 hp motor and it will never ever see full load, I would think the amperage draw would be not even 1/4 of a full load draw. Agree?
