Firestone 9210

Other than the paint (and T fitting),these look like the same compressors. Is Thomas the actual manufacturer?
My presently uninstalled air suspension came with an all-black compressor like the one ART sells but with a Firestone decal instead of ART' s.
Can I put a small K&N style breather filter instead of the plastic one? Looking for some style points ;)

Thomas is the mfg. on both of those comp. Do you know what model # Summit is selling?

It does not come with the T fitting.

9210 is Firestones part #. Would have to get a hold of Firestone and ask them what the Thomas part # is. I am almost sure it is the same pump. All the specs are the same.

I just picked up an ARC4000e2 RidePro system. My suspension system already came with a 9210 compressor,so I did a side by side comparison.

Other than the painted aluminum section and decals,they' re externally identical. The decal on the bottom though,part # for the motors are different. I' m not overly concerned about it,but at least now I have a direct-fit backup compressor ;)
