    Ive never installed one before, almost all trucks ive been in already had one. Before i cut something im not suppose to, i wanted to ask if this is the right line to connect it to. If you can tell by the picture

    Picture looks like your seat air bag. You want to tee into the airline before the switch. If you tee between air bag and switch all your blower would do us empty air bag

    find airline that goes thru the floorboard. get a "t" compression fitting.. 1 side of the t will be air coming in to the seat from the floor... other side will be line going to the seat.. the t line will be air line to the gun.. very simple.. you can also use push to connect fittings as well... but they like to leak when it gets cold.. and its kinda annoying to listen to leaking air in the cab all day..

    If you are a visual person like me .. Here's a pic.

    I know somebody has to say it. Do you own the truck? If you are an OO that's great. I always just used an air hose with a gladhand hooked into my trailer air supply. Good luck with whatever you do!

    I have a similar air hose that i use to put air in my tires, having the blow gun is quite convenient. But no im a lowely company driver unsure if getting my own truck is even worth it with all things coming into play. I wish luck upon you too!

    You don't own the truck and you are cutting airlines? I hope that your carrier does not have mechanics that inspect things. I'm not attempting to give you a hard time, but cutting airlines on others' property is not cool!

    Its all good, thanks for the concern tho. If my time ends here i can just leave the hose or buy a fitting to replace it

    My father used to drive for W.R.Grace out of Duncan SC years ago. He told me once a driver was fired because he tore into a dash looking for a hot wire for his CB radio and the Amplifier. I don't know about carriers today, but I highly recommend against doing anything like that to a company truck. I am doing this because a lot of rookie drivers look through these forums.
