Polished Compressor

If your going to have a detailed engine bay, might as well replace your leaking compressor with a show car polished one! I can't help myself!
24K miles on the Cat, and rolling awesome.

Cummins and their computer,cracked blocks, head, head gaskets, and valve issues.....ewww
All engines have issues, you just stick to the one you like.
A Foretravel with a Cat, was more money, and twice the warranty
There are still millions of 3126, C7 & C9 Cats in service to this day, all around the world.They all have HEUI pumps and injectors.
Dude, you have a motorhome, so you have a problem, you just don't know what it is yet.

I prefer to apply a positive spin: I live in a motorhome, I don't need a hobby.  That's why we have four antique vehicles and an interest in large format photography.

FWIW Vintage Air offers polished and chromed AC compressors.  I just want cold air.
