Detroit Series 60 air compressor having trouble building air when parked. Smart solution

Freightliner Century 2008-2009 with a Series 60, having issues building air. Air compressor is only 3 years old, no signs of oil being pushed through the system. Air dryer and air governor were also in good condition. This video will help you replace the unloader kit first instead of replacing the entire air compressor.

Awesome

Would cleaning the unloaded valve work if valve looks good still or that doesn’t necessarily matter and should just replace?

[@bastiaan1532]

I don't really have a problem building pressure, sometimes it's hangs a bit when the secondary tank hits 70psi, but I do have some air escaping from that port.

Can the unloader valve cause my compressor to keep running? I replaced the governor and dryer and it doesn’t purge. Pressure gage gets to 150 and I hear a hissing sound from the compressor.

I have the same issue my compressor is only 6 months old and now it won’t build air unless I accelerate a lot. So I’m trying this out tomorrow.. the 2 dislikes are mecanics that would tell you your problem is the compressor

[@robelr1012]

I have the same problem on my truck and on highway it goes over 150psi what do you think the problem is?

[@gabrielcastro8710]

Could the unload kit leak?...because I have a leak from the top of compressor between unloaded valv and discharge line but is really hard to see clearly. Is cascadia 2012 dd13

[@bluedemon79]

I tested the pressure coming out of the discharge side and it only pumps up to 60psi. Does that mean the compressor is bad or should I try the unloader kit. My truck is a 2006 Freightliner Columbia with a Detroit 14L.

[@Arturo76312]

I heard him say that this driver services is vehicle every 20000 miles. Is that too much or what? I was told to do it every ten to twelve thousand. I also have the Detroit series 60 but with the 14 leader. Am I changing it too often?

[@Gcal1956]

I was just about replace the the compressor. Gonna try this first.

[@tonylg3840]

What is the part number called

[@chony07pr]

My 60 serie 14L is poping from the small valve, witch is near that kit, and it pops air after 5rpms but when idel it dosent pop or biult air that fast, just happend today, you think my compresor is bad or this kit will fix problem? Thanks

[@JOKER-zf3dr]

? I have 2005 century gets low on air on secondary air gauge after just sitting a little while and warning comes on. had air dryer filter changed they said oil was coming through all over filter and that my compressor is about to go out. Will I be able to try this kit as a solution or is it too late and have to swap compressor? theres 1.4 million miles I just got truck 2 months ago so I dont know when anything has been changed It looks like an old bendix compressor. Thanks
