I agree! The old compressor I replaced was very gummed up with nasty goo. The governor can be picked up from any truck parts place for about $30 bucks. Or you can go to a vender on here and pay $65 if you like.

Another note on the nylock nut from the manufacturer. Quote"Use the nylock nut that comes with the new compressor. We have found that even with thread locker and proper torque, the original style nut can still back off." end quote. So i did what they recommended.

The nylock nut makes no performance difference besides that it wont back off. My original compressor was a midland the they were bought out by another company (I don't remember the new company name off the top of my head). They send all the new compressors out with the nylock as they know it is...

No you cant just see the nut. It is under the front engine cover. You would have to take that off or remove the power steering pump and air compressor from the mount to check it. Sandcobra164 said that this is something he has seen before. However, if your compressor is making air pressure i...

Hey everyone! I have some great news. I received my M-1078 this morning from GA. Took a while as the shipper that i had kept flaking on me. New shipper picked it up Friday evening and had it here at midnight last night. Now for the best news. I took the power steering pump and Air compressor off...

Thank you so much for the welcome Ahab! I have really enjoyed this site and all the help I have received.

Great to hear from you bubbleHead. I should have my truck in San Diego by 10 Feb, God willing. I love to hear when others are getting into the trucks themselves. Good to hear another sailor is on the sight. I was a Damage Controlmen/Hull Tech. then went over to the SPECWARFARE world.

OK, thank you guys. I will find out what i need for parts and then also look into that air drier unit.

So the shop is back to working on my truck today to remove the compressor and steering pump to locate the problem and cause of the issue (I am in no real hurry). While they are working I have been trying to source the compressor in either a new or remanufactured condition. The TM states that it...

HAHAHA Green Iron disease! Trust me, it might just run neck in neck with Offroad Racing! Tell me when you start spending over a 100K on a F150 Baja truck! I guess it is all relative.

Sigo, Florida, Thank you for the warm welcome. Sigo, As a retired Navy Senior Chief, I have been called Duck for over 30 years! It was great to see that again. Finally the site is back up. it was down on my end for a day. Also Doug, thanks for the info for the CAT dealer. I was wondering if i...

Thanks Florida! i have been looking for a while now. We get them out here in Vegas and Ca but they always go for a real high price. I bought mine through Atlanta, Ga. Probably because we have so many places to use them out here. Or maybe everyone is getting ready for this state to implode. I am...

Thanks. I wanted to keep my first post a little short as with my excitement I could have wrote a book. When my friend picked up the truck all fluids were checked and the total truck walk around completed. everything from an outside visual looked good. The shop that the shop was towed to was...

Just joined the sight and love it! I had my buddy pick up my 97 m1078 from Atlanta two days ago. He said it ran like a top, however on the 90 mile trip he said that the power steering went out and the low air alarm went off. He had it towed to a nearby shop and they said that the compressor most...
