    Hey I have a 2005 Freightliner w/ Detroit engine, I'm trying to find the cause of a air leak and to see why the air compressor is running HOT - it also burns up that small air pressure hose .within 5 day of replacing it. I have replaced my air compressor 3 times in 3 weeks, the governors, the dryers,
    Please HELP me find out What could be causing the air compressor to run hot

    It was getting hot instantly boiling back up through the reservoir, it was melting the lines every-time.
    $1400, 24 hrs, 4th new air compressor, 2 new hoses and, it ended up being some clogged lines....
    (Helpful Note)The roadside services in Chicago (Lower S. side) is the absolute worst.
    Thank you for the feedback we just just it on the road
    Pray we get that bad boy back to Memphis!! Selling it tomorrow!!!!
