cat air compressor

Just go get a bendix! Cat will just over charge you for the same compressor!

 

Nobody rebuilds their own compressors anymore, just replace it with a reman Bendix model like Les2 said. If your compressor is tired, chances are it has been passing some oil too. It would be advisable to also replace your air drier at this time too as oil destroys the descant inside the cartridge. Typically it is cheaper and faster to just replace the drier with a reman aswell, good time to do it since winter is just around the corner now.

 

You local truck parts store. Freightliner is usually cheaper than Pete or KW and they all get them from the same place.

 

Got it in one Les, when they paint it yellow they think they can charge as though its made of gold.

 

Yea but I've got a C12 that just had one replaced and it just doesn't look right with a bendix green compressor on that pretty yellow engine! haha

Should have had it painted but didn't think about it. I have a new fuel filter head on a C15 that's bare alum and it drives me crazy because it just draws your attention because it looks out of place.

 

Check Napa while you're at it.

 

Same thing here on both parts... Sticks out like a sore thumb!

Forgot about Napa, good idea!

 

Napa can be pricey sometimes. But a lot of the time its still a little cheaper than a dealer.
