New day, new noise... The adventure continues....

[sailor2000]

Well a new day, a new noise.... this one from the air compressor... replaced belts this weekend... today the compressor started making a noise like marbles rolling around in a #10 can when the unloader kicks in... sounds fine when it is under load.... any thoughts???

 

[Westech]

Thanks... sent him an e-mail... his compressors look nothing like mine... how many compressor flavors are there, do they interchange on the same mounting, and which is best?????????????

 

[Recovry4x4]

Should be 2 different ones. A single and a twin cylinder. Both interchange. If they are off of a 5 ton multi, the line exits towards the front of the truck, deuces towards the left side. BTW the seller is Matt, my buddy from Ft Lauderdale. He's been chopping parts trucks like crazy.

Yea, I've been up there. I got a drivers door, new style soft top, and a new style cargo cover(needed a little repair). I walked out of there for $150.00. He has everything. I talked to him at lenght and he buys trucks and either resells them or cuts up the bad ones. It's really ashame to see them cut up, but he has all kinds of parts.

Well, the sad truth is that that some trucks must die so that others can live. Look at it like organ donation.
