Andy Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 My air compressor has an issue. It’s just the pressure switch assembly. Its cheap and easy enough to replace . Is it possible to put a much smaller compressor and tank in its place its got something like the Phoenix 3 gallon tank unit right now. I only use it for the winch remote controls. Never have inflated a tire with it or ran air brakes from it. Ive found a 1 gallon air suspension compressor kit that the motor is mounted separate of the tanks as well meaning I will gain quite a bit of space in my trucks tool box. Anyone know if it will be enough supply wire to run my winch remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESC Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Check out Viair Compressors. They are small and work well from my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Its what im looking at they have a 1 gallon tank and compressor package looks like I might be able to mount the compressor on the back wall of my tool box up high and mount the tank on the inboard side of trucks frame. Frees up some valuable space. I have no idea how towers do this job with standard cabs and one box. During the winter months my boxes are stuffed the back floorboards full 1/2 the back seats full. And even then i have to drag more stuff for specific calls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacker Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 A one gallon tank will work as long as you have a good compressor. Get a viair 480 or so.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 In case any one else is interested I went with the Viair unit and tank works fine for my needs I mounted the tank on the back side of my tool box and the compressor in the top rear corner this gained me a great deal of storage space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
