John Family Farm Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Just started up my 98 CH in the shed for last two months, I think it's about 20 out? Anyways, started right up and started "popping" back thru the air cleaner . Figured the air pump / wasn't building air and I shut off. Assume I broke the air compressor when it started? Any thoughts on this matter , and is it possible moisture froozen somewhere in the line??

1958 F.W.D. Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I agree. Can you warm up the compressor somehow for an hour or two before you start it?

fjh Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) If it is still building air its likely a lifter failure I believe the compressor inlet it plumbed into the inlet manifold on that year Edited January 30, 2017 by fjh 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48572-compressor-malfunction/#findComment-360320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Family Farm Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Good idea, I guess I'll get a space heater under the hood in the morning and try thawing ! Didn't drain the air when I parked it last. Never had it freeze like this before ? Once in the heated shop for service I'll be asking the forum what's involved in swapping the daytons for buds this week. Doing a brake job and a good time to swap over.
