R9553558098X Meritor air compressor, model QE338B, for Cummins engine applications. It is a water cooled, engine drive, flange mount unit with a front/rear inlet-outlet port location and a threaded discharge. Air brake compressors of this kind are engine-driven pumps that draw in air, compress it, and send it to the brake tanks that supply a heavy truck's air brake system. A worn compressor tends to be slow to build pressure and cycles on and off more than normal, and oil showing up when the tanks are drained, or knocking and grinding from the compressor, point to internal wear. A genuine Meritor part from Pro Gear and Transmission. Call us to confirm proper fit for your engine.
