I think it would have to be a really big motor just to run one York. On the other hand you could fit one with a custom mount to your 7.3L and feed alot of 200 psi rated tanks with a 200 psi switch, but I don't know if a York will handle 200 psi.
What kind of volume are you looking for and @ what psi? A York will outlast the Oasis as it is an electrical component and the York is mechanical. The edc will be alot cheaper to replace when it finally goes south, the Oasis...well, you see how much they are.

Yeah, your Oasis has a 5hp motor... and it powers what looks like a York-style compressor. I can't imagine how much HP it'd take to turn two Yorks. Now that I think about it, I wonder how I'd mount a York to my 7.3L? I just don't wanna bog down my motor too much. What do y'all suggest? As far as the kinda air I want coming outta the lines, I just want it to be able to run ANYTHING I throw at it... nailers, wrenches, ratchets, drills... whatever. Maybe even a spray gun... I know it takes alot of CFM to run them though. It's something like 8+ CFM @ 26PSI I think. So, with that being said, what would/should I do?

I have an underhood compressor, 60 gallon tank. Goes from 0-150 psi in 10 sec flat. It can run anything at 100 percent duty cycle. The best investment I ever got, becides the truck of cource. I have all the pictures picked out but cant figure how to post them.

8 cfm @ 26 is nothing for the Oasis..its rated output is 8 CFM @ 100 psi.
As far as bogging your motor down....it won't really affect it that much, just don't have your a/c on at the same time. You are going to have the engine on while running either setup for extended periods, difference is the Oasis will put quite a strain on your trucks electrical system, the edc will not.
My ideal setup for use at a jobsite would be the edc, and a remote start system but I do not have the room under the hood for the edc. The remote start I do have so I can start or stop the truck when needed. Take advantage of the capability you have with the 7.3 and go with an edc, you won't be dissapointed. Be sure to get at least 1 maybe even 2 filter/driers in your system, these small pumps put alot of heat in the air which will cause moisture when it cools.....don't want to be spraying anything with water in the line.
