Sanden Compressor Upgrade Completion

The genuine Sanden compressor is smaller, lighter, and far more efficient.  Robs less hp to drive it when engaged.  Watch out for the Sanden knockoffs.  (China)  Ordered mine from Vintage Air.

Easier mounting than what I did is to purchase the mount kit, which is a steel plate and 2 slotted mounting ears.  Those get welded to the plate to line up with the compressor, then bolt it on to the stock location.  Downside is adjustment is like the alternator as opposed to the idler pulley adjustment I preferred.

Don't forget to replace the air drier before you recharge the system.
