22RE- York on board air COMPLETE

[Matt16]

I fitted a York OBA system recently. Here it is:

Compressor: Full-sized York off a Volvo (I think, I bought it from a guy who had it in the garage)
Bracket: Adapted from a 22RE A/C bracket, you need a sort of spacer as well
Air lines: 3/8"
Air tank: Air brake tank off a Ford dump truck (note: not a dumpy Ford truck)
Valves switches etc: One-way into the tank, 150psi pressure release valve, drain valve, 90psi on/120psi off

Description:

• York is belt driven off the engine in place of the stock AC pump (you can't install the York like I have with AC)
• pressured air goes down the air line, through the one way valve
• pump has a magnetic clutch that is activated by a relay
• relay is only thrown when:
  a) the day-time runnning lights are ON (always on when engine is running (Canadian spec)
  b) the switch in the engine bay next to the quick disconnect is ON
  c) pressure is below 90psi.
• air tank link to quick disconnect zip-tied near battery
• fills up a 31" tire from ~5 to 35psi in ~30 seconds at 2500rpm

cost estimate

• York compressor...................<$50
• 22RE A/C bracket....................$30
• 25' air hose, cut inot pieces......$15
• NPT fittings............................$50
• air brake tank........................$50
• air filter, pressure valves.........$40
• electrical bits.........................$50
• TOTAL................................~$300 (based on what I actually spent)
• Knowing your compressor pumps out 10X more air and costs less than half of the guys with a Viair....Priceless

No, I never had AC, just bought the bracket. The York sits where the stock AC would. You would have come up with a complex bracket to make a York work with AC, but I'm sure someone has done it, try searching Pirate BB.

is this just a trail rig or do you just just suffer through the heat every day?

It's my daily driver. With the windows down, its never too hot in the truck. I'm also in Canada, so heats only an issue from June to August, and even then the hottest I ever remember is 35*C (95*F)

[Alex 400]

did how do you hold it at 2500 rpm? did you make any kind of throttle holder mechanism or anything?


something like this...

that makes since, why bother fixing it for 2 months a year, right?

I never had AC to start with. I went to a wrecker, bought the AC bracket, used a tap to clean out the thread on the block, and then built a spacer bracket to fit on the AC bracket.

well the sr5 like you and i have, were the top of line (next to the limited) and they came with A/C I don't believe the base models came with it.

[Jay351]

My truck never had it either. There are a lot of base model Toyota's around here that don't have it. I can only think of one day all summer I wish I had it. Heat on the other hand........




What is the compressor out of exactly? I've got 3 old Volvo's kicking around.....

My 1985 SR5 doesn't have A/C, and I'm pretty sure it never did, nothing on the dash to sudjest it did.
