I'm probably going to do the same. Did Glenn sound a bit Grimace to you?
Weekdays - Prado GXL D4D with some stuff
Weekends - Mav shorty with lots of stuff
Was told buy tjm that kym bolton runs one of these compressor on his GU with no probs (been fully submerged twice and works fine). I was told they do not require oil! Anyone else use one of these compressors? Every where i look someone else has different write up on them. As for no dust or water environment, it is a fully sealed unit and all the fan does is force air over the motor housing to keep it cool, cant see why they say no water or dust?
and also it had to be hooked sraight to the battery via a battery cable not wire .So after all this discussion I brought tha Viair 400 he said that matched to a 20L tank it would do all i want and more.BTW i asked weather or not 100% duty cycle was the go and he said that,they are great but slower so i figured that if this will run 33% duty 20mins straight that will do me.At $ 365 including loom and some fittings with a 5 year manufacters quality warrenty too my door i said send it.
