    PURest Air Dryer constantly purging/leaking

    This past weekend I resolved a similar problem; however, replacing just the purge valve was insufficient. Required replacement of the "Turbo-Saver" valve due to debris (and age) keeping it from seating sufficiently. If the Turbo Saver valve does not seat correctly it will let air pressure build...

    M939A2 Air Compressor Head Gasket Issues

    I agree in that it appears as though there is no cooling occurring. There was plenty of coolant coming out of the coolant lines when I dis-assembled the unit. No coolant observed in the wet tank or Air Dryer. Performed a complete rebuild of the air compressor valving assembly. Verified flat-ness...

    Thank You for sharing your experience. Curious - should the gaskets be installed "dry" or with a form of sealant? I typically use sealant - Permatex

    2021 SoCal Spring Rally

    FastNova provided a great suggestion: Hook up a portable air compressor directly to the wet tank. Made the adapter, hooked up the generator: Viola - Worked Perfectly! Surprised my little Kobalt compressor could air up all the tanks and keep up while rolling down the road. Totally missed the...

    2021 SoCal Spring Rally

    Air Compressor head gasket blew out - Truck stuck at grocery store parking lot. No immediate source for replacement, exploring options... make a temp gasket out of a sheet of aluminum, or, curious is the compressor will work enough to get home without the gasket... Open to suggestions on how to...

    2021 SoCal Spring Rally

    My Air Dryer purge valve failed over the weekend while doing a prep/maintenance run. Fortunately I was back home when the air pressure dropped to 60 psi. Getting a service kit from Eriks Military surplus - should be a quick fix and up and running by Thursday....
