with how hot these things get, i doubt under the hood is a good idea. the bed would probably be the best spot i think (well safest anyways)... just my .02Leper said:

Mine is making some funny noises now, kind of like a grinding sound, but it is intermittent. Probably about 1 hour total run time on it.Leper said:
I may end up taking it apart to see what's going on.
Anybody convert the outlet fitting on it yet? Is it just standard 1/4" pipe thread?
if they are 25 each grab me 2eshorvath said:

The Pep Boys here had them in the Sunday sale paper for $59.99.scrappy88 said:
Every Checker in Colorado Springs has zero inventory of them. That's who had them on clearance for $25. 
I am currently using one for my air locker. I have it plumbed in to a 5 gallon tank and a pressure switch that shuts off at 105. It does start to labor to get from 80 to 105. it overheated and shut off after I aired up 3 40" tires from 7 to 15 psi I was half way on the 4th and it shut off but it was 90degrees plus that day. It is a NPT 1/8" fitting not a 1/4" BTW on the compressor it has some weird thread on the hose side so I bought the air line compression fitting to convert it to NPT 1/4"Blue85 said:
This is the couple of very simple mods I did. Standard QD, plugged the other hole to prevent the fitting breaking off, 30 amp plug and a fused 30 amp receptacle direct to the battery. I use the regular coiled air line and a better gage.

You won't be able to stop it from generating heat, but a simple 12 volt fan (radio shack) mounted on/near the cooling fins should help shed some heat and hopefully give a longer life expectancy.

The cheapest shipping to you is 30$.
To me, it would not be worth it, but that is up to you.
Let me know.
