airride compressor problems

[michael bustamante]

ok I have a thomas compressor thats supposed to be 150. psi. it turns on and runs but is not pushing any air. is there a rebuid kit for these things or should I replace? if so whats a good compressor? i know viair of course but I dont need a fancy chrome one. does viair have their c series in black? or a regular finish? are firestone compresssoras good ones?

I would contact our board vendors, in the "Suspension Marketplace".
They seem to be very knowledgeable on these subjects.
I'm going to use a pair of the Viair 400's on my next bagged truck.
Member way2lo2 has an April Special going on right now.

if it is infact the thomas 327 from air ride a 1.00 reed valve will fix the problem..

on the black thomas compressor there is a reed valve that seats inside the compressor head, some times they lose there tension and will go bad which will cause air to leak back through the compressor head and not build pressure. to replace the reed all you have to do is remove the (4) bolts from the top of the compressor head, remove the top portion of the compressor head, then you will see the reed valve which is a flat metal flap held down by (1) screw, remove the screw, replace reed and you are good to go....

Sounds pretty simple Jon. Where would be the best source for the reed valve?
