I replaced my air compressor few years ago at 680k miles. It started sounding like it was hammering and I did not want it to leave me on the side of the road. I think most guys get 600-800k out of one.

Some people re-build them, some replace the head, and some replace the whole thing. when i replaced mine, they said I had to paint the new compressor and replace the dryer or it would not be covered under warranty.

Lastly, the air compressor is fed off the intake PAST the charge air cooler. It should never see high temperatures going into it, and if egr is active, the egr cooler is supposed to ensure hot exhaust gases are cooled before getting to the intake too.

- The newest model prostars, I have seen, they re-routed the air compressor intake directly to the air filter instead of the intake. Just throwing that out there as an fyi.
