On board air
« on: February 25, 2012, 09:01:20 AM »
The 1984 wagon I found in the junk yard has the on board air compressor.  Would that be of value to anyone?  Would somebody be interested in buying it?  Thanks.

I'm guessing that's what the ugly device with a long flat pulley is supposed to be? I see them on CJ5s and Concords but never saw one in the engine bay of an Eagle and I have no idea how they would bolt up. Any data on who makes them?

I think you refer to the "smog pump" that's driven by a belt off the crankshaft. The on-board compressor is a small electric compressor for the air-leveling system found on some of the Eagles. And I have no clue who made them. :eagle:

The on board air is pretty handy I have the original hose that reaches all the tires. It is really there to run the load leveling shocks though.

I'm pretty sure whoever took Freeagle off of me might need that, but I haven't been able to get a hole of them by the phone number they gave me and everytime they called me it showed up as Private Number or Unknown. And I have no idea if they are a member on here. I'm sure it would be off use to someone...sometime! :) I'm guessing you'd have to pay something for it though.
