Thanks man. The Lowes here have some great people working for them and they got it taken care of. I actually had it on the ground today to shift it around and give myslef some more room on the drivers side.

But it does get a little warm sometimes. So I mounted a fan over the compresser when I willl used it for a while. Signed some what happy with it.
The compressor did run good until it stopped, haha. So they came yesterday and dropped off the new one and when I got it all hooked up I ran the break in period. I went to fill the tank and it wouldn't even fill up. After closer inspection someone did not push the compression sleeve on the tank inlet. Easy enough fix though. I called Lowes back up and had them pull the inlet tube off of the old one and swung by and picked it up. Got it put on and I can already tell that this one runs better than the last one.
