I have a 2012 Ford F-250 crewcab, any recommendations on where to mount the compressor?

for lack of any place better, I mounted the compressor on the outside of the frame rail. It is advisable the put a rubber hose on the intake and route the filter in a clean place. I hope you like your super duty as much as I like mine. The air bags made a extraordinary difference pulling a 5th wheel trailer. Much smoother.

There are several places under the truck, just look for a space to fit it in. You want to make sure that going over trails of rough roads it doesn't get hit by something in the truck. I haven't put one on the ford. I had one put on a 07 Dodge.

I have a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500. I was able to mount next to driver's side passenger door up by frame rail.

I have a 2012 GMC and I mounted mine on a cross member midway under the truck and I have had no issues with it. One thing I did learn is on the wiring harness there is a black wire that says it needs hooked up to a ground, this is not needed if you hook it up then the relay switch will stay open and the bags will not pump up & the air will just be released

I installed everything but the ride sensor behind the rear seat. Drilled a one inch hole through the floor in the cab corners for sensor wires and air lines. One inch wire covering was fit on the holes to protect the lines and wires. The occasional noise of the compressor running lets me know the system is working.

I bought an ammo box from the local farm store and mounted it inside it in the back of my bed where it is out of the elements. Works great!

I have one on a F 150 crew cab, unless the width of the 250 is wider it should fit. If you go to their web site they have a sizeing chart. Great Rack, good luck

I mounted mine on the left side to avoid drilling into the airbag. You could also use industrial velcro.

Yes, that's how I'm using the one I installed on my compressor...should work just fine.

Hello,With this question I would suggest going to someone who knows about coilovers. You don't need compressors because you can lower the perch to take the spring off. You should always set preload on coilovers. Megan racing has all of the info you need to know about them on their website.

Are you using it as a air drain or moisture drain? Moisture drain requires installation at the lowest part of the tank. Multiple fitting will allow you to mount it to most any compressor.

Usually compressor fails because shocks are leaking. Best to do it all, or if money is tight then replace with standard shocks.

I only used the 1/2" pipe thread to mount the valve. I used a jamb nut from an electrical J box. I slipped the valve into a 1/2" hole in the compressor mounting plate and ran the jamb nut on. I used 1/4" copper tubing to connect the valve. I love this set up. My entire air system is drier.

Replace the compressor as well. If it was still good it would come on when you start the vehicle. It most likely burned out because the shocks were leaking.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

The only thing I can add, is to make sure you determine whether you need a one or two pin compressor. I needed a 2 wire and didn't check, This comprssor is a one wire. s far as compatible with that truck I don't know, but check that wire requirement first.

Compressor is built into unit. For most applications it will fit in place of original horn.

I mounted the air compressor under the truck just behind the cab. I have not had any problems in the last year.

The maf goes right on the airflow box, depending on your application.It bolts up right next to it. I have a GMC Yukon

The compressor is attached to the tank, so it needs to be somewhere thats dry. Either in the engine compartment, in the cab of the truck or in the bed if you have a cover. I didn't have any room in engine compartment (the tank is pretty big) so I put the tank/compressor under the back seat and ran the hose through the firewall into the engine compartment and mounted the horns underneath the engine fan.. I had to buy new hose because the included hose wasnt long enough. Then I mounted the momentary switch right next to the steering wheel and tapped into a ground and power that were underneath the steering wheel.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy
