And I haven’t ever been short of air for brake operation (CO, WY, ID, MT, NM, UT towing), but have wanted more when it came to adding air to tires. My stopgap is to install an additional reservoir.
I used my GDP bracket and mounted my compressor in an inverted position instead of the filter. Then I built my own of one of these (https://www.dieselfuelfilterkits.com/2003-2012-cummins). Eventually, I would like to have an ARB compressor…
Also, I have a shifter mounted switch-
A double din w/CD player will require you to butcher your sub-dash. I found this helpful when I was looking to change mine- https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/looking-for-aftermarket-radio-upgrade.269799/page-2
This is one of the less expensive options that I have seen. Would you purchase from them over others, if doing the upgrade again?

As an example:
We start at approximately a mile above sea level, and are over 10,000’ in less than an hour (without a load)…

I had a leftover GDP bracket for the single filter that I used to mount the compressor in an upside down configuration. If you haven’t purchased the kit yet, I would recommend a more hefty air compressor (ARB) - depending upon your goals and pocketbook.
@NIsaacs & @Motorhead
Yeah (at the risk of derailment of the thread)
I should have been more clear. I have the new gasket for between the exhaust manifold and turbo. The initial install of the exhaust brake went smoothly (onto OEM parts). When we upgraded the exhaust manifold and turbo we had...
OEM batteries lasted about eight years, then installed Duracells from Batteries Plus. Last month a set of Duracells from Sam’s Club were installed, though they have slightly lower CCAs.
