The third Airdog 150 motor quit on me tonight. Some back ground, I installed the Airdog on my truck (it was used) when I got it about 3 years ago. It put out about 45 psi and was loud but worked. It lasted until July this past year and burned up. I thought it lasted a good while since I bought it used. I called Airdog and bought a replacement motor. I replaced the wiring in the meantime since it melted a bit from the original one dying.
I received the motor, put it on and it didn't sound right. It was also running hot in my opinion, also putting out 10 psi. I called the technical department and the guy said some are loud and they run warm. It lasted two days and wouldn't come back on without tapping on it, then not at all. I called warranty and they sent me one right out no problem. Installed it and it wasn't as loud and did run cooler but was only putting out 10 psi. Once again called tech and they agreed it didn't sound right to check the lines in and out. I put on new filters and blew out the lines, also greased the gerotor. It ran great and was cooler but still low on line pressure. Welp it started failing Christmas Eve, wouldn't kick on without a good rap and died this evening.
Anyone else have a similar problem? It's low on pressure, but flows enough to keep up with my 5x.016s no problem. Thank god I have a p pump, it can handle the failures a bit better than vps LOL.
