A strong word to the wise, DO NOT get a remanufactured R4 "pancake" compressor. They are total junk and likely won't last a year. Mine certainly didn't, so be sure they put a brand new compressor in.
Thanks for the information, that's exactly what I needed to know. I didn't think about contamination of the components at all. For $1500 I'd have to pass on this truck.
