Air Compressor Services to Ensure Safe System Operations
A semi-truck’s air compressor is the heart of its mechanical air system. Without a fully functional air compressor, your truck’s air brake and air suspension systems would fail, resulting in hazardous consequences. At Thompson Truck Source, we can help when you need a quick and reliable semi-truck air compressor service in Alabama.
Why Service a Semi-Truck Air Compressor?
An air compressor in a commercial truck relies on the vehicle’s engine to drive it, typically through a belt. This process converts the engine’s rotating power into mechanical power to operate the air compressor’s components, like pistons.
In time, these components and others wear out without regular servicing, reducing your essential air compressor’s lifespan. Diesel truck air compressor repair can save you money and time in the long run. Without servicing and regular maintenance, various problems could arise, including:
- Inadequate pressure buildup and inconsistent airflow.
- Overheating that damages internal components and reduces oil life.
- Dust, debris or moisture in compressed air lines.
- Component failure through inadequate lubrication or installation misalignment.
For these primary reasons, regular air compressor servicing is essential to keep your semi-truck fleet on the road. At Thompson Truck Source, we know what to look for to ensure your air compressor functions optimally after its service.
