Installing a new compressor, need your thoughts.

IF it says top quality is that better than another brand? Does it have better materials or stuff inside?

I don't know. Really, just look at price. It is is too cheap, it probably is

I've had a "Four Seasons" brand dryer in mine from Rock Auto for about a year now and no issues.

That is not the accumulator you want. Yours has a bracket to bolt to the frame and a place to attach the low pressure safety switch

I went to autozone and bouht the correct one. It was 36 and it was a four season brand.

So what about the oriface tube. Should I replace that? It may have never been replaced.

If it is not plugged up, leave it alone

[XJ Wheeler]

^I agree.

I have no idea if it is plugged. The filter is built into the tube. 26 for a new tube with filter built inside? Why not just change it out?

Thanks

If you wish

[dagod16]

My only concern is that it may have never ever been changed. Does this get changed normally when a compressor gets changed. So maybe in the past it was changed with the old compressors but I doubt it.

[4.3LXJ]

That would depend on the type of failure. If it was just seals and o rings that failed, then no. But if there was metal involved, then yes

[dagod16]

The compressor is what failed.

[4.3LXJ]

As in froze up?

[dagod16]

Ummm not sure. The relief valve on the back was leaking and finally it stopped working. I took it in and the compressor is no longer working.
