Part Description: Air Suspension Components
Issue
Description:
Star Parts Catalog has been updated to show individual service parts for the
compressor assembly. This will allow service technicians to repair the root cause
without over repairing the system. Replace only the part deemed failed by the
diagnostics performed.
Individual parts include:
- Compressor
- Valve block
- Individual hoses
- Temp sensor
- Shield
- Air line clips
NOTE: in most situations when a new compressor is needed, the compressor as a
separate part is the correct repair, and the assembly would not be required.

Unfortunately is only for Grand Cherokee. None of the three PN's are for trucks. Also the complete assembly is only $100 more than the compressor by itself, and the same price as the valve block by itself.

Why don't you solder wires to brass wood screws and screw them down into the middle of the wires. Mc Gyver

I like that one!!!

You know what - I think you are onto something there! Love the idea. Went out this evening and picked up some 3/4" #6 brass screws from the hardware store. Thought process is to take them to the bench grinder and put a tip on the end and remove the head, then drive the new "post" through the center of what is left of the wire. Once in, secure the new 10ga stranded wire to the post.

I'll take some pictures if this works. Some snow coming into the area tomorrow evening - hoping to get to this in the next few days.

It was listed under Ram, don't know what to tell you. Didn't know Grand Cherokee have an air suspension option.

Out of curiosity, what does the compressor cost?

Glad you found the issue, Cody. Hope the brass screws trick works for you.
