Had to replace this compressor and Pressure switch after they burned up after 2 years.
The Compressor and switch were acting up once winter set in. The initial unit shipped with the horns, started running often, so often it drained the truck battery to the point of replacement required. I was forced to remove the fuse in winter after battery replacement. This continued into year 2 and in October I had to disable the horns until spring. Between April and June the compressor finally died (still ran all the time) and no recharging the tank. The tank was holding pressure, and we checked the air lines for leaks with none identified. Once we replaced the compressor with the heavy-duty model and the new pressure switch, the tank holds pressure, and no random running of the compressor. I verified this with a battery Trail Camera sound and motion activated, placed facing the compressor in the engine compartment for a week with no intermittent operation of the compressor noted. Fingers crossed this resolves the issue for me. One comment! We moved the intake and filter inside the truck cabin when we saw how much dirt and moisture has accumulated in that filter. This will keep the compressor cleaner and avoid moisture and dirt accumulation collecting from the engine compartment. I recommend doing this when you install this system. Best of luck!

Great find!
Nice air tank pump. Haven't installed it yet, but did bench test, to make sure it works! A little pricey but hope this pump is better than the one I currently have.

Quick recovery
Has a quick recovery, I installed a 120 on 150 off switch and it recovers very quick compared to my other standard duty. I use on my pickup to supply the helper air bags, an air horn, and a 5 gallon holding tank. I have used to fill tires, use a blow gun, and of course the air horn. I would suggest a holding tank when using regularly for these purposes but all in all a good compressor with low ish noise and great recovery.

Great customer service
Bought 2 of these, one through their website and one through Amazon, neither one of the lasted a year. Save your money!! UPDATE!!! the vendor reached out to help warranty the item. With their help we figured out it was a corroded ground the caused it to stop working. Fixed the ground and worked great again

Still pumping out air
My og trailer compressor for the bags burned out. Bought this as the replacement and it was in upgrade from the original. Years later it is still doing its thing. Bought a 2nd one to to work as a tandem with the other one and I am very impressed what 2 can do. Trailer bags fill very quickly regardless of the weight I put in the trailer. Awesome product

Starts out good 2 months later very noisy
Bought this one as a replacement while the other compressor I bought was being shipped in for warranty. Now this one is getting very loud. The 1st compressor would pump up to 200psi after 3 months and was replaced under warranty. 2nd compressor I bought is now getting loud and sound like it’s going to explode at any moment. Guess it’s a good thing I have 2 to keep rotating in and out. Going to have to put quick connects on everything to make it easier.

125 psi
This compressor will not hit 200 psi. It hits about 125 psi before it blows the over pressure valve open. So if you are going to buy a pressure shut off for it. Buy one that goes to 120 psi. Anything over that will be useless. The compressor does look well made other than that.
