The VR140 Underhood Air Compressor is designed to fit the latest 2008 Ford 6.8L Triton V10 Gas F250-F550 Super Duty trucks.

It has a small air/oil separator tank mounted on the truck’s frame rail, with the rest of the components under the hood. The belt-driven, rotary-screw compressor is capable of up to 150 cfm/175 psi of air delivery. The compressor is cooled by the truck’s cooling system; oil is warmed by the engine.
