On another subject I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on my AC mount and compressor for my 5.3 LM7. I was planning to use Vintage Air's truck adapter bracket made by Kwik because it allows me to use the SD-709 compressor. According to VA they found that the SD-508 compressors in this configuration had an odd sounding harmonic hum to it. I see you went with the Dirty Dingo AC mount that uses the SD-508 compressor. That setup looks really nice. Hopefully you have no weird humming noise from the compressor. VA said no problem with performance, just the weird hum to it. Keep that in mind when you get to that point and let me know how it works out (if you remember). Good luck.

That is actually the 709 compressor. Ordered it from Summit. Had a VA part number as that is what VA recommended to me. It fits the DD brackets. I made more than one call to DD and VA before I ordered, but it all works fine so far.
