Simple question - Has anyone put an air tank in the Ram Bins?

Thanks, but he actually mounted the compressor. I was wondering if anyone put a tank in.

Dang you're right, my bad. I misread your post.

I imagine it would be the same process as installing a compressor. Find a tank that fits in the bin, run your hoses into it from the underside of the truck.

Finding a tank that will fit seems to be the difficult part.

I am going to be adding an Extra Sanden AC Compressor to my Ecodiesel to
make On-Board Air for my Nathan Airchime K5LA Train Horns and Tool Ports.
The air tanks on my 2008 Big Horn were from Airlift and mounted to the Frame Rails.
I will be looking for a place for the Air Tank, but may end up mounting it in the Bed
on top of the 72 Gal Aux Fuel Tank if I can't find a place under the Truck. The RAM
Bins would be too small for the Horns as they need 120cf/Min.

Would probably have to get something custom made if you want to put it in the underfloor Ram bins. They aren't that big and are an odd shape.

I had a Viair 380c Compressor it took 23 minutes to fill my 9 Gallon tank from 0 to 200 PSI.
I switched to a York 210 AC Compressor on my Hemi Engine and it would do the Same thing in
3 minutes at idle. I had to put a cold air kit on and remove the Air Box. The Brackets I designed
and had laser cut. There is also a Hybrid Serpentine and V belt pulley on the Alternator.
