I have been looking at this type aircompressor.
http://www.onboardair.com/web-instructions/oba_manual.pdf
The stock compressor supplies enough to work the stock system, IF you
are not in a hurry. But not enough to run three train horns.<G> Or
help out someone else. Or air up the tires on my dune buggy. I can
come up with a dozen reasons to have a engine powered compressor that
can be engaged/disengaged with a switch on the dash and an electric
clutch. I have seen this style at the local Jeep run and it works
great. My thought is to leave the stock compressor in place (back in
the closet) to do normal maintenance of the system and this type for
the big boost.............Terry
