Lin won the trip to the West Coast of B.C. in VMAC's first ever UNDERHOOD Dealer Sales Contest. Lin has won an all expenses paid vacation to the Gold River Fishing Lodge on the West Coast of B.C. Lin's name was drawn from hundreds of entries received between June and August.

The prize includes:

• West Coast Fishing Adventure on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
• Airfare for 2 to Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
• Two nights accommodation in a floating fishing lodge.
• Meals, wine, and beer.

Lin is the Parts Manager at Reading and has been with the company for 8 years. He typically sells UNDERHOOD systems to contractors, utility companies and large tire companies.

Lin has never been to the West Coast and is looking forward to coming out with his brother, Thomas Moyer during late spring or early summer of next year. We look forward to having Lin visit our beautiful province for the first time.

VMAC is proud to introduce the ELIMINATOR70 Air AfterCooler. Smaller and more efficient than the D51, this new moisture-removing product is sure to be a success. Equipped with a more powerful 12-volt fan, an air filter assembly and housed in a compact package, the ELIMINATOR70 is the perfect compliment for your air compressor.

This product replaces the D51 AfterCooler and is priced right. The new pricing is available on the Parts and Accessory Price List.

Comparing the ELIMINATOR70 to the D51:

• Cooling is better - the new fan far out-performs the old twin fans.
• Air filtration is superior - replaces the simple water trap.
• Package size is smaller - 75% smaller.
• Air output is more powerful - 40% more air output.

Specifications:

• Air Flow: 70 CFM.
• Type: Air cooled AfterCooler with integral air filter and automatic drain.
• Weight: 33.65 lbs (15.26 kg).
• Dimensions: 7.75" (w) x 16.80" (l) x 14.20" (h).
• Power Requirements: 12-volts and 10 amps.
• Airline Connection: 3/4" NPT Female, In and Out.
• Mounting Method: Bolts directly to truck body with rubber insulated mounting feet.
• Options: Channel tube mounting brackets for greater support.

Part Number:

• ELIMINATOR70 Air AfterCooler: A800070.
• Optional Mounting Brackets: A700143.

If so, we want to know. We receive requests from federal agencies, asking for GSA certified Dealers so that they do not have to go to tender to purchase a VMAC Air Compressor System for an existing truck.

GSA helps federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services, and management policies. GSA secures the buildings, products, services, technology, and other workplace essentials federal agencies need.

Please contact VMAC Marketing and let us know if you are GSA Certified and we will include this information on our new website.

GM vehicles fitted with the 6.6L Duramax diesel engine had changes made to the injectors in mid- 2005. The later injectors have been fitted with a plastic tee on the fuel return hose on the top of the injector. This will break easily if the compressor contacts the tee.
