I just bought the air pump and 1/2 gal tank for my air bags. I was wondering where all of you mounted your pump. It states it needs to be in a moisture free spot. I was thinking in the cab behind the passenger back seat. Sure it would be loud when I make a adjustment but it would stay dry there. I would mount the 1/2 gallon tank somewhere under the truck and just pipe the line through the floor or something. I checked under the hook but could find a place. Any ideas or has someone done this?

 

Last summer i installed the exact same kit for my excursion and put the pump uner neath the frame rail

 

so being out in the elements don't hurt these pumps? I live in alaska so it it quite drastic conditions? Anyone do it behind the seat?

Here is a link to a recent thread with mounting pictures etc... mounted under the truck at frame rail in a battery box.

There is also a write up article on this over at TDS.

Hope this helps.

 

I mounted a Viair 450c behind the rear seat on the left in place of the factory joke...I mean jack other than the noise seams like a good place.I modified a black rubber strap to hold it down like the jack was held down on the bracket. A 5 gal tank is mounted on the frame rail on the inside.

 

that is exactly what I was thinking, how loud does it get? I mean hell, how often do you actually use it right?

 

It's a little annoying but unless you have a leak it should not run too often. Mine is also used for my train horn so it can run more often. Keeping it dry and clean out weighs the annoying noise factor.

 

well I have a 1/2 gal tank with mine so it shouldn't run too often.

 

so where did you all tap the wiring into? I like your idea of the black rubber strap.

 

Well I got it all done, this pump isn't loud at all. Hell I have to turn down the stereo just to hear it. I stretched the stock rubber strap for the jack and got it good and tight. all done, thanks for yals help.
