Bob - the original vales, after 40+ years are crap. I rebuilt mine once. No go. Took the ones out of the transmode. N.G. Rebuilt the transmode ones. N.G. Then I got smart and put in a set of JR's Powerlevel II's. Problem solved.

I had a Dana Compressor. It did the job, sorta. For yucks I installed a horror freight Viair clone. I rebuilt the Dana. N.G. Ordered the Viair continuous duty model. Problem solved.

I don't know what Barb's budget is but anything short of what is described above will result in future problems. While you are at it the addiction of a fuse and relay to get the high current out of the wiring harness and ignition switch is also a must do and a very inexpensive upgrade.
