Meritor R9553558211X is a QE296B air compressor, the Quiet Economy single-cylinder design, listed for Cummins B applications. It is water cooled and flange mounted, with the inlet and outlet ports on the front/right and the discharge also front/right. The compressor is the engine-driven pump that makes the compressed air your brake system runs on, keeping the supply topped up as the brakes are used. A worn one tends to pass oil into the air system, which turns up when you drain the tanks or check the dryer and can foul the dryer and brake valves. Knocking or grinding, slow pressure build-up and constant cycling are other warning signs. Call us to confirm proper fit. A genuine Meritor part from Pro Gear and Transmission.
