Default Replaced another Gast compressor

I just replaced another Gast compressor. Last one was in April. It ran great for about 7 months then just pretty rapidly quit building pressure. It only builds to about 70-75 psi. Anyone else having problems with them?

Thanx for the info Jon. I was able to get it warranted by Grainger where I originally bought it. This time I also got a 3 yr extended warranty for +/- 130. Starting from date of replacement not original purchase. Not a bad price for 3-4 compressors assuming an 8 month failure rate.

Clint, I am wondering if you have an air leak that causes the compressor to run too much and too often.

That is kind of what I was wondering. When you were down at Newell, did they check for any leaks?

I was also curious to what model or part number yours is?

I am pretty sure i have also developed an air leak since our last visit to Newell. I will have Tommy & the boys look for it in March when we take the coach up for a big interior make-over.
