Sanden compressor upgrade

[Dtrain]

Well I finally got my Sanden Ac compressor in the 91 suburban and it is soo quite! Blows very cold too, I would definitely recommend the upgrade if anyone is considering an upgrade, the classic auto air people were very helpful and got right back to me with answers.

Where did you get your Sanden? I need to replace my compressor also.

I picked mine as old stock from eBay. Decided to go with actual sanden compressor instead of the sanden style.
I have used Sanden 4864 (SD7H15HD-FLX)
But just about any model can be used with custom hoses.
I would guess classic auto air was the source for OP

Yes Classic Auto Air is who I used, I guess you could get the sanden from a dealer, get New accumulator tank, hoses, and new air tube, get hoses, fittings and get them crimped. The kit came with two dogleg pieces of metal that bolt to existing pancake compressor mounting bracket.

The only difference on my install was the stock hoses. They were already new, so it made no sense in getting another set made.

I just completed a vintage air surefit system in my 85 using the sanden 508 compressor. Here in Arizona when it's 118, it was blowing 45 out the vents. I am impressed.

Dtrain was wondering if you ordered the whole kit or just the compressor, bracket and lines?

That's good to hear. I'm getting mine installed here and there along with too much other crap but I've heard a couple of not-so-great reviews about Vintage Air. It's nice to hear a good one.

I will say that I'm not super impressed with their instructions nor mounting brackets. It's been a struggle all by my onesie, lol
