Thank you so much for the information. There is a company that sells a compressor all cleaned out and has a zerk fitting on the housing. They call for 5 pumps every 6 hours of runtime of synthetic grease. It's 500 bucks though. So I'm wondering if this is a way better option. Does anyone know if that fitting is critical? Or does this setup do just fine maybe open it up every few years and re grease it?

The bearing on the wobble plate is called a thrust bearing. You can find more inside automatic transmissions, too.

Great video. Very informative, lots of useful little tips. I will be doing this to my XJ sometime in the next couple weeks. Looking forward to it. I will be reviewing this video again if need be. Thank you very much for posting!

I have never thought about grease i have always plugged the lube hole and but a fill hole in the top and put 4 ounces of 30 w compressor oil thats always worked for me 4 ounces seems to be about 1/4 of the way full And when i got the head off i tap the holes for 1/2 pipe thread

so you have a tank that its charging up?

I put a pipe on the suction side and connected it to the intake manifold of my cummins.

Would this have enough longevity to be used for an air ride system?

so where is the next video??

AWESOME SET-UP!

AWESOME INFO" THANKS from Idaho! newsub

I am on the last part of removing the transmission from my 2011 Nissan Xterra pro 4x to install a new clutch. I am having difficulty removing the two upper transmission bell housing bolts. Do you have any suggestions for how I can access them? Thanks for the help in advance.

Great Video...Thank you

That circle pattern to seat the head got me all hot and bothered. I know it’s for demos sake, but damn if ya know, ya know.

Thanks for sharing this video! How are the pistons & bores lubricated? Could you add oil to the compressor? If so, how much?

Do you have a tank as well

I've been thinking about doing this. Would it be a good idea to also add a grease nipple on the side of the body to add some grease every now and then on something that's used daily for air bags, air horn, and a pneumatic actuated exhaust brake? Also thinking about running the intake of the pump to a valve cover breather so it sucks up a small amount of oil vapor to lubricate the top side of the pistons.

finally, I made a good search phrase. Oh thanks for the inclusion about avalanche diodes. I need to upgrade my 2004 Subaru Forester X 2.5L sohc w\AT. I know I need in the higher amp but I haven't found any good reviews of these alleged high amperage alternators let alone for welding. You immediately stating about the avalanche diodes in all stock alternators cleared out more greek terms while it helps to clarify what components are actually needed for welding. My Situation: I need to do body work and other welding but now I am stuck with a welder I can't immediately use. I need to weld a nut on to the right front ball joint because the head of the pinch bolt looks like it os ground down and when I set up and tried to use the welder two weeks earlier it failed to run despite it is an inverter welder. I could only muster a little sparkle. I was not aware of having to calculate for the actual efficiency of the alternator. Despite spending several days looking through articles and limited You Tube videos there are zero good review videos for any of these high amp alternators from experienced in field useage let alone for welding purposes through an inverter. VEHICLE ALTERNATOR: Stock alternator alleged to be now after the fact 85 amps minus inefficiency = way under powered for the car itself and why the hf titan 140 and jupiter non pure sine wave inverter were shutting off and down respectivly. CABLE UPGRADE: I haven't done wire upgrade because I realized from an article I need to know a true copper cable supplier and terminals and nothing for retail had come up for in the 21093 zipcode on my previous querries. So I just saw a delco remmy 145 on a mercedes flat bed tow truck having a winch and other accesories so the 300 amp range should work. It makes me wonder with all these high amp makers if they are just starting with major manufacturers and re wiring\building existing alternators. REPLY:fouresasquatch@gmail Cheers

Tell me there aren't parts of this video where it's like watching paint dry? With that said, this is by far one of the best videos for converting an AC compressor to an air compressor. I'll watch videos like this all day over the screaming overenthusiastic tubers who are just mimicking guy like this. Hat's off to you dude!

Wouldn’t you be able to use jb weld

I see that you dont have an air tank plumbed in. Could i add one into the system?

Many questions on mounting one of these. Obviously a factory mount location is easiest. Otherwise adding a diy bracket is the next option. Essentially one needs to provide enough belt wrap around it. That's generally done by adding an idler pulley. One may be able to use or mimic a dual alternator bracket. Just make sure belt stays lined up on the same plane as other pulleys. Then get a longer belt, which can be the hardest part. Using a piece of rope wrap around all pulleys and then measure including the tensioner. Belt manufacturers have a list of all their belts in a catalog with lengths and part numbers. Be sure to post your info somewhere others can find it for reference

This is very educational and informative. I like to DIY when I can to save money (and within my budget🤣). Everything you had showcased is awesome. I know what other parts are needed. However, where I am lacking is how to mount and drive the unit. I have a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4x4, 5.3L gas engine with a serpentine belt system . The only place I found room for the unit will be next to the alternator (driver's side of the engine). Ok, fabricating a bracket, I can get done. But how do I drive the compressor? I looked for a double serpentine alternator pulley. Does not exist. I can find double v groove pulleys for alternators. But then I won't be able to drive the alternator with a v groove pulley. I am just stuck on how to mount and how to drive the unit. Any suggestions?

Will it fit on a g body Chevy

I just picked up a Denso ac unit I want to convert. Can I just grease this one? Or does it need oil?

I wonder if you could use a good gear oil for this. Maybe fill it about 1/4 full.

Did you ever make part two to this video?

Does that vehicle still have air conditioning .

I watched all your videos and I didn't see the one that finishes the build of the alternator welder . If you could put a video when you get a chance, I would really appreciate it. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. I hope you have a great & Happy New Year.

Thank you for sharing your skills with me. I would love to see how to build the welder please I'm a new subscriber

What happened to part 2? Anything happen? Thanks!!

Help me understand. With this compressor set up and greased at the front end does this mean you do not need to put a oiler on the inline? I assume not. Looking forward to your response. Cheers!

I've just done this mod on my A/C pump ('99 4.0 RHD) and the volume of air it puts out is epic! Mine is fitted with an adaptor block and right angled fittings to get the air in and out - doesn't seem to affect the flow adversely. Unfortunately my A/C radiator was ruined so I can't cool the air, but maybe I'll add a small cooler in at some point in the future. Thanks for the great video; easy to follow and very helpful!

Are you using the front bumper as your air tank? My yj has a front bumper made from 2x4 square tube and I was thinking of using it for an air tank. Any info on it would be appreciated

Is your NLGI2 grease lithium based? I'm trying to find something local that matches your choice as that brand isn't on store shelves around here.

the grease Trink's Auto uses in this video is NLGI grade 2

Question for you, in the video you state this works on TJs up to 2006. I have a 2005 with a different style compressor it’s a Denso instead, and looks like a different body altogether. Have you converted one of them? Looks like the pulley has to be removed entirely to get to the bolts holding it all together. Got any information on it?

Excellent video. Awesome jeep. Best demonstration of the onboard air upgrade to an A/C compressor on KZbin period. Isuzu Rodeo rear axle? Really?

When you say "this weekend" did you mean this year? or this weekend as in 24 months later?

You still gunna make a how to video?

Hoping you post the tutorial soon! Thanks!

I just picked up a $5 Sanden compressor to mount on my YJ. This is exactly the information I was looking for. EXCELLENT tutorial! Thank you. 😎 UPDATE: I've had it installed for about a month now: This compressor works awesome! I robbed the pressure switch and blow off valve from a portable compressor (from a yard sale) to complete the install, combined with a throttle set built out of bicycle parts. This bad boy will pump a 30" tire from 18psi back to 35psi in about 30 seconds! The little Jeep rides so much better with the tires aired down. Thanks again.

What pressure blow off switch and auto off switch do you use/recommend. I plan on finding a way to use this on my 05 ram with the 5.7 hemi

How best do you connect to the ports to adapt to air lines. The fittings aren't very common..

Plan to do this to my sanden 709 I did the setup with a inline oiler and the water oil separator The separator got too hot and cracked during the first use so I might just do this so I can delete the whole oiler and water oil separator..

I have one question can you put ATF (Automatic transmission fluid ) for extra lubricantion with the grease ? Thanks. Very informative and well explained.

thanks for the knowledge shared.really appreciate it.

Hey man! Would love to hear more about that 318 swap, currently dead in the water on a 360 swap, can get the wiring to work

Guess the compressor engagement doesn't bog down the engine too much? Normally the extra load when the A/C clutch is engaged is somehow accounted for by the engine controller; I would think a 4-banger could maybe even stall... ?

Can you use this as a compressor for air ride system in a car?

I think all the attention you are getting is because your video are the best, simplest, and clearest explanation of how to do this I have seen yet. Some other videos make the job look like a huge mission yet you show it sure isn't! Thank you and all the best!
