Hello again. Anyone have a recommendation for getting power for my VIAIR compressor. It requires a 30 amp circuit. Because of the long distance from the battery to the compressor (in back of truck bed), I am using 8 AWG wire.

Is there a place on the fuse block that can be used for accessory power?

Thank you!

searched amazon, only 40 pages to look thru and found it ... here is a link ... be careful, in the question it states this breaker will trip on amps and temp (above 120 degrees) .. i don't know about your truck but mine runs at 206 degrees on the cooling system and on hot days i am sure it is above 120 degrees under the hood ... now for the link ...
