    Good point. No, didn’t think that far into it. I should of thought to check and get a feel for the compression difference to really make sure my new one had more compression right? Or...

    Take the main out put line off. Start truck. If your thumb with a glove on can hold down without being pushed of you have a bad unit.

    I got a Bendix for my Ser 60 Detroit and the compressor head gasket blew in three place during the first week. It's really sickening how parts are rebuild nowadays

    Sounds like your air intake is good. I am not selling anything. Have bought these from a local distributor and had good results.

    Dang. Just talked to the wife who works at my parts distributor. She says she thinks it Bepco. She’s going to check tomorrow
