How to Install Firestone Air-Rite Air Control System

[@brentmcmahon8188]

When ever you take a line where it’s already been hooked up be fore you have to recut your line or it will leak so always cut the lines on the long side so you will have some extra line .

And slide rubber fuel line over all your plastic air lines to keep from rubbing on a sharpe edge and put a hole in it and air compressor will run until it gets to hot and shut itself off .

Robin Loucks and John Park I thought the same thing about the red plastic line.....could it be a point of failure thing? so if something gives it'll be the little red plastic tube? Even if it is it still seems a little cheapo.....so do the zip ties. at some point they're gonna get brittle and break right?

Check out Kelderman air bags for trucks. Make it ride like a Cadillac and tow like a train. My 3500 Ram is great now.

Nice video … But... this install will work but the question is how long before something fails? Pneumatics is a very unique energy source but it needs to be treated with a high degree of respect, think about it is a stored high pressure energy source. It needs to be prepared properly to work safely, efficiently and reliably. Robin pointed out a braided line into plastic? Do you have any idea how hot this can get. And you’ve installed this upside down, where is the drain ….. for the water? I’m going to install an onboard compressed air system and tank this summer, you have inspired me to make a video on the same subject. Except I use to teach Pneumatics and I am a Licensed Millwright.

not to mention its mounted close to the exhaust pipe.

The best upgrade you can do to keep from pulling your hair cover all your plastic air lines with rubber fuel line and it will save you the aggravation.

where can I buy this exact kit. I cant find it anywhere. I found a partial kit that didn't come with the air tank and inline valve

[@SplinterXOF]

do you have a part number for the air tank, inline valve and pressure valve?

[@SplinterXOF]

how did you install the vcc and T connector from the air tank?

I think they discontinued this particular model

I wanna do the same thing to my astro van

What? Why would you use plastic tubing from the compressor to the tank? The connection could have stayed metal. Waste of time.
