Warranty also sounds good until the warranty company fights tooth and nail to deny a claim;

Well, the compressor is off. The shop wanted $1200+ to install just the compressor, but they were a couple of weeks out. In the process of removing the compressor, I found all sorts of stuff that needed repair or replacement. Many gaskets, O-Rings, some air lines, coolant lines, Jake harness, etc. Those parts I ordered on Wednesday, they got here yesterday afternoon from Cummins, FleetPride, International and Parker. Those parts added up to $600 plus me doing all of the running. I am seriously doubtful any of these parts would have been replaced. And if they were, I can see that $600 bill for parts become $800 or more + a few more hours of labor at $100+ an hour. Yes, I had to wait for more parts, but so would the shop, they use the same vendors as I did. Just finding all of these OTHER issues is worth the downtime. And I know, what I would consider crucial repairs, are done correctly. And looking at my bags of new parts, half of this stuff would not have been touched, much less replaced at a dealer or shop. I'll be digging in today, and have a strong feeling I will be pulling and replacing some airlines from the motor to the air dryer, something I am not looking forward too, as you can see.
HopeOverMope, uncleal13, gokiddogo and 3 others Thank this.
