*1LOWSUV* Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 Whats your choice of Compressor? I had the AZ's but had nothing but problems from the get go. Switched to the Viair and seem to be fine. Quote [email protected]
meade916 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 I havent ran an AZ yet....i did have a Viair 450 and it fell apart.....right now im using a cheap blitzluft and its a trooper but when the honda gets fully operational ill be all bottle. I hate listening to compressors especially after hitting one switch. Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

meade916 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Posted June 20, 2006 i have to mention that i heard teh 450 and 550 (a few years back) were the ones that had teh most problems. I also heard they have gotten better since then so i think you should have better luck. Plus, the "duty cycle" on them is everything. If your doing nothing but running them constantly then heat may cause them to fail over time. I know that ill be putting a fan or two on even my little compressor cause that lil bitch gets HOT.....shut down hot - after running constantly working on my digital system it will overheat and go thermal for a few minutes without the fan. (got one rigged up just aimed at it while im tweakin the system and its running so much.)

*1LOWSUV* Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Posted June 27, 2006 I have 2 Viair 480's now, I hear there the lesser of all the Viair evils. ;D The Thomas compressors I have been running have taken a beating. I don't even use a pressure switch anymore, just a on/off switch in the center console. Quote [email protected]
Eric Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 How are those 480's treatin ya anyway? We haven't heard to many compliants about them yet. Eric suicidedoors.com Quote
*1LOWSUV* Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 How are those 480's treatin ya anyway? We haven't heard to many compliants about them yet. Eric suicidedoors.com Made a big difference when we swapped out the Thomas'. Very quick re-fill time now and even with this Valley heat they're hanging just fine. Quote [email protected]
*1LOWSUV* Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Posted August 17, 2006 Just got my second set of Viair 480's for the Burban...Man these things are nice. Quote [email protected]
