---------------------------------------------Originally posted by Lowlowriderbike---------------------------------------------Originally posted by AZ_Paul---------------------------------------------Originally posted by DOWNSUBMy son went throught 3 OBD1's and he buddy as an gone throught 2 OBD2. I'm sticking with my VIAIR 5+ yrs has not missed a beat!!!---------------------------------------------I can assure you this all-new OB2 is bulletproof.  We have a "test pilot" program hope to find baddest minitruckers on the plant send them OB2 ask them beat the hell out of it in 2-3 months, you wanna be on the list buddy?  Shoot me email to: paul@air-zenith.com   I will test pilot your compressors, i daily drive my truck and my dual viair 480s are pretty much constantly running. And i have a 5gal tank, running at 200psi, so they take a beating.--------------------------------------------- You got it!  Give me a phone number to call you on Monday, take care.  -Paul, Air-Zenith   WWW.AIR-ZENITH.COM ---------------------------------------------

Paul you have already sent me an ob2.add my name to the test pilot list.I dont need another compressor but i can promise you I run the shit out of my air system.As of today there have been zero problems and its been on the tahoe about a month.You should be recieving pics of the product installed soon as well as in upcoming features   ///TN JEFF

Hi everyone, everythig is ok with the compressor this is my fault. This is my mistake. I cut the pre-wire socket relay because i would like to keep the same wire. I thought weld 6awg (wire from bat.) wire to 10 awg wire was not good because the 10awg wire will become hot and melt when the compressor running. I don't take attention to the black wire that he shrinked with red power wire. I will not know that AIR ZENITH change the manner to plug the relay, i was plug it the same manner that the OB1 but isn't good. I would like to tell at everyone that you don't need to cut factory pre-wire and check the instruction manual before replacing your old OB1 compressor to OB2 because the wiring for the relay isn't the same. I sell only AIR ZENITH compressor since 2 years and i always have great support. This is the best and the most performant compressor on the market. I'm really grieved for this error and if i did wrong has AIR ZENITH I give you my excuse. Thanks!! Sébastien CaronS.C.SPORTRUCK

I've got 2 green OG style AZs. Had them since green first came out. They still run great. Still air up great. No issues with them at all. proper wire size and use of relays helps.   But hey Paul if you want to kick in a new set for the green machine sign me up.        

Paul, No problem sir.All of the facttory Air-Zenith stuff is in tact.I never alter stuff like that in fear of losing my warranty options.All power to the tahoe is supplied by either 4 gauge or 0 gauge.Thanks again for sponsoring my Isuzu with the ob1 and the tahoe with the OB2.This OB2 is very impressive and I would reccomend it to everyone.Again Paul thanks for everything.Keep up the good work ///TN JEFF 

We have never had any issues with any of the first gen comps on any rides we installed them on so id say the new design can only be better. Good job Paul

Hey i got a question for you Paul, its kinda off subject tho....   I seen on suicidedoors.com the have OB2's in white but they are sold out.  Do you know where i can get one of these from or was there just a limited number of them made?  Thanks for your time!

I actually have one setup in the warehouse that we are going to run some test on after lunch today. I havent had anyone call with any questions about a BURPING sound. You are running adequate wire and only running the compressor while the engine is running?  ---------------------------------------------Hi Mike,It's running 6 gauge wire with the relay that came with the OB2 and an heavy duty 80AMP fuse to an optima battery, this worked well with the OB1, the "burping" happens even just running on battery or even with engine idle, even if I give it a little gas  while the engine is running, it still does it. My alternator is 90AMP as well. Thanks for you answer Mike, sounds like there is something wrong with my comp. But let me know if you hear some more about them, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AZ_Paul, thank you so much for all this information, maybe you could shed some light on this, the ground for the compressor is bolted at the same spot as before when I had the OB1 but I did sand everything out this afternoon just in case and still the same issue. BUT what about the ground for the relay? Because right now we took the relay that came with the OB2 and installed it at the same spot BUT the relay was already grounded BEFOREHAND to the truck box, now my friend just realized that the red wire going from the comp. to the OB2 relay also has a black wire beside it and he thinks that this is the wire for the ground for the OB2 relay?? BUT during the installation, we basically crimped both red and black wires together then hook it to the relay which would mean that the OB2 relay is grounded twice and this could be causing our problem??Please let me know because tomorrow morning I intend to cut the black wire from the crimp and this time only the red wire will go to the OB2 relay and this should resolve my problem since that the OB2 relay was already grounded, what do you think? Hopefully this is the problem because I would like to keep this OB2, beside the "burping" it is working really well.  I will check the forum tomorrow morning because I'm too tired now!! Once again, thanks for all your help!!---------------------------------------------Nissan, You should not altered that factory pre-wired relay because that relay is part of thermal overload protection. OB2 comes with pre-wired relay socket, all you have to do is connect that Yellow wire to your (+) pressure switch and that Red wire to your (+) battery, that is it!! Please try to restore all wiring to the original factory condition and run compressor again and let me know tomorrow, thanks buddy!  No worries I will take care you. For all OB2 owners: PLEASE DO NOT ALTER OR REMOVE THAT FACTORY EQUIPPED RELAY AND RELAY SOCKET, FOLLOW OUR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION, YELLOW WIRE COMING OUT OF RELAY SOCKET GOES TO (+) PRESSURE SWITCH, RED WIRE COMING OUT OF RELAY SOCKET GOES TO YOUR (+) POWER SOURCE.  IF ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL AIR-ZENITH AT (702) 270-7988 OR EMAIL: INFO@AIR-ZENITH.COM & TECH@AIR-ZENITH.COM Thank you.  Paul, Air-Zenithwww.Air-Zenith.com   ---------------------------------------------AZ_Paul,I was waiting for your reply as I was not too sure about the red wire and cutting it, do not worry I did NOT cut anything. I will follow the above instructions and will get back to you later on today. Thanks again!---------------------------------------------Nissan, There is nothing wrong with OB2!  Sebastien from S.C.Sportruck told me you're his customer and he said he did cut that factory pre-wired relay socket and this is the cause of incorrect wiring. Try to get your wiriing back to the same factory pre-wired condition, do not cut that factory pre-wired relay and relay socket. Call me or email me on Monday and let me know if everyhting is ok. We have Tech Support, if you guys have any questions about installations, please call our office at (702) 270-7988 or shoot email to: info@air-zenith.com & tech@air-zenith.com I don't understand why you have to jump on this form room talk nonsense without contacting Air-Zenith in the first place?  You think this is fun to bash someone's products?  I don't think so. Paul, Air-Zenithwww.air-zenith.com  ---------------------------------------------AZ_Paul, NOW I understand!! When you first mentioned the pre-wired relay socket. I was like, what the hell is he talking about!?!? So, I called Sebastien again and he told me at that time that he had cut it. I guess that we all learn form our mistakes  I will try to get Sebastien to come over again either today or tomorrow.  Thank-you so much! You are very helpful! I'll keep you up to date on how we resolved my issue!
