    Does anyone know if there is a high volume air compressor available for the N14? I'm looking for something with more output than the stock one.

    You can put a twin cylinder compressor on but keep in mind all your coolant and fuel plumbing changes as everything changes from stock. Single cylinder Holsets were never known for their performance and a lot of guys would spec a Bendix Tu-Flo 550 when I worked for Cummins for that reason. With a five axle setup it should be adequate....curious what you're experiencing.

    With that Bendix Tu-Flo 550 will I still have to change the coolant and fuel plumbing from stock? I started pulling trailers with quick release air valves. When I get on some of these back roads that are ruff the trailer keeps dumping and filling the air bags putting a strain on the air system. Doesn't get me low enough to throw the low air warning on but would be nice to have something that could keep up better.

    Go with the truflow 750 , much better.
    I've had no luck with the 550. If worked in a high demand they tend to start passing oil in short time.
    750 I've had no problems with.
