Default Engine driven air compressors

I want to add an EDC to my '08 6.7 for air accessories like my airbags, airing up tires on my truck/RV/four wheelers/etc., a pneumatic wrench (similar to an impact wrench) for my RV to raise/lower the stabilizers when I park it, air horns (I got cut off when pulling my 26 foot Keystone RV/toyhauler), and be able to help someone else if they need it.

I've looked at some of the electric kits and I don't want to mount it in the bed of my truck since the air tank will probably be mounted on the passenger side frame rail. I want it totally out of visual view and out of the elements as well, but need to be able to service it, too.

OTOH, I've seen some really high end EDC's that start off around $10,000 .... and obviously thats overkill.

I can't find anything in between.

Other than Kilby Enterprises (they have a 5.9 kit, but no 6.7 kit) is there anyone else that makes something like this for the 6.7L engine?


Thanks.


Kris

look into york air compressors they are EDC. i personallyuse viair compessors on my mini truck i have them mounted under my bed. they are not very fast but run up to 200 psi. theywok best on a 5 gallon tank. they will run air tools but you will have to wait around alot. EDC's are much faster but more expensive.

Also, I would check with a prospective supplier if it would fit anyway. There is a lot of similarities between the 5.9L and the 6.7L Some of them may work anyway and just not list it yet....

I've had a kilby oba on a number of trucks for around 8 years. Other than burning up a couple of compressors and a belt change every now and then they work flawless. Probably the best setup for the money.

I'd go with Kilby but they don't have a kit for the '08 yet. I'd let them borrow it if I were close to SoCal so they could build up a kit. Unfortunately, I'm not
