Firestone Level Command Compressor Installation - 2011 Ford F-150- Video

Today on our 2011 Ford F150, we'll be installing the Firestone level command single gauge heavy duty compressor system, part number F2097. This vehicle is already reequipped with the Firestone Ride-Rite air helper, part number F2525. The vehicle had a preexisting compressor system that has already been removed, and we'll re-utilize the no-drill mounting kit, part number F2529, in conjunction with the tow-ready no-drill mounting bracket, part number 18140, for mounting our gauge. We'll go ahead and go through operation of our new air compressor and switch. Pushing the toggle switch in the up position will trigger the compressor and increase the air pressure in the air bag. Then, to deflate the air bags, we push down on the toggle switch and let the air out. To begin our install, we'll go ahead and mount the compressor to the bracket first. Using the hardware provided with our compressor kit, we'll take the bolt and flat washer and feed it through the bracket, through the attachment point of our compressor, and then tighten it down with the second washer and then a nylon lock nut. We'll go ahead and put all 4 fasteners in place and then tighten then down. We'll go ahead and secure the fitting to the compressor system and then tighten it down. Now with the compressor secured to the bracket, we'll go ahead and install the bracket back onto the truck. more
