If it is a holset (cummins) air compressor the unloader is likely the cause. If I remember they are not to bad to replace If your close to a cummins dealer with the compressor numbers and they might have a kit.
I would check out why you have to pump it up every time before you start. You are probably sucking air in to the pump. this will also give you power problems as well.
I picked up a truck there but I had a wrecker service take the truck off base because I was going to drive it home; they won't let you drive it off base unless you have registration.
I agree with this. If there is some gunk in the transmission or valve body. It may cause your torque converter to stay in lock up and that would kill the engine even if you put in neutral. Yo may also want to check to make sure the transmission governor is clean and moving freely.
Nice project and good looking truck. I am going to keep up with this thread because I have a short wheel base cckw that at some point i will start to restore. I will need to find a cab though mine is rusted bad at the bead below the rear window.
I just bought the 12 volt pump and in the process of making a 12 setup to operate it and other 12 volt things. I have not completed this upgrade yet because of other upgrades I am doing but have the pump in hand and plan to make it all work.
I am doing the same on mine but I didn't wat to pay for the fass system. I think mine is a ppg pump. I will have to look when I get home. It 160 gph. With like max 15psi
