doubleclutchinweasel Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 What he said. IIRC, the 400 and 500 are the same in mounting dimensions. http://www.bendixvrc.com/itemdisplay.asp?documentid=4384 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Maddog13407 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 seriously i get it but the 400 is obsolete and even in the 60's and 70's a 500 was slapped on in its place. its not the end of the world Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66075-tu-flow-400/#findComment-469865 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The 400 series was a common compressor before spring brakes were the norm and it's displacement is smaller than the 12cfm of the 500 series. Regardless the 500 will build air much faster than the 400 series is probably the best benefit to upgrading. It does weigh a little more and certain takes a bit more power to operate but both of those are negligible concerns.
