All is working okay. Just wondering at 129,000 and original 1996 engine air compressor, is there a service kit or do I need to do anything to assure trouble free going forward?
Thanks
There are spendy rebuild kits for them. Google your compressor.

These air compressors are very long-lived. Though I am big into Preventive Maintenance, I would not do anything to it unless there are symptoms.

So, as long as the main air filter is kept serviced.......

The only real service item , at our service miles and maintenance level , should be the unloader valve . Imho
