Mine is not as fancy as some others because I will only be using it for on board air.  I pulled the compressor from a Jeep build I recently sold.  I modified a M.O.R.E. bracket from the Jeep to make it work in the truck.  Its secured by the jack handle bracket and two tabs into the storage box.  Wiring is run behind the seat and inside door edge trim.  The grommet into the firewall in the passenger footwell actually has an extra "port" in it that just needs to be opened.  It works just like it should and the install turned out nice and clean.

Nice setup was looking to do the same in my 2020 AT4, did you run into any issues with the compressor overheating?  Seems like these things run hot, so was just curious if you were getting enough airflow back there.

Looks good... Any options to mount under the hood? I'll be picking one up for onboard air also and use it with our inflator/deflator

No issues with heat or airflow at all.

Hello all

 

I have installed my Twin ARB compressor with manifold in my 2021 Silverado LT 5.3L under the hood, into the free space in the left front fender. It fits tight but it's possible removing the inner fender carpet liner and then installing it from the bottom. I have made a custom mount for it.

 

Regards

Very nice install!  I've read where they don't do well over long periods of time within the engine compartment due to prolonged heat exposure, so I've yet to permanently mount one in that location.  However, I'm very interested to see how yours holds up in the long term to see if there is any truth to that or if its mostly garage talk.  How long have you had it mounted in the engine compartment, any cycling issues at all?

I have the compressor since 2013 mounted on a Jeep Rubicon (below passenger seat). Sold the jeep and now i have installed it on my New silverado this weekend.

 

I have not tested for Long periods, but normally ARB compressors are installed on engine bay for air lockers Lockers, so i dont think will be an issue as Long i use it with the hood open.

Hi,

 

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures or examples of the mount you made for the compressor would you? Looking to do the same mount with my twin compressor.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
