Jim, Has it stopped working? I didn't know this is what it looked like. Thanks for posting the picture.

Dale, It was blowing oil into the filter. Each time I changed the filter it was saturated with oil. I started noticing a spot of oil on the garage floor under the filter. It was a 8 hour job. Only difference I notice now is it seems to build air pressure faster.

Still having trouble posting pictures. Don't know if I will be able to catch on. Tom said I might have to go to night school !

I had to change one on my 99, the hard part is getting it out. They are very heavy! I recommend changing the crank and one other sensor, they are behind the compressor and the time is now if you have it out!

I can't believe what I am seeing. With all the tools that you have Mr. Tool Man Keller,--- I see a crescent wrench.

My father in law (rest in peace) always had a redneck toolbox with him. A pair of Vice grips, a hammer, and a crescent wrench.

Where is your hammer and vice grips?

Don't let Truk keep my spot too warm, he might take root.:cool:

Roger, Good one ! Not only is Tom keeping your spot warm, He put some cardboard down under the engine area to keep it clean !
