I did the dumbest thing yesterday. I had my left rear wheel off to have some curb rash repaired. So I was jacking the car up to put the wheel back on.
And I aligned my jack to the wrong darn hole underneath the truck. Yep, the hole (why is it there?) on the cover of the air compressor. As I was jacking the car up, the bracket holding the air compressor crushed and broke. Uh oh.
I didn't have time diagnose last night, but it was working fine albeit noisy. This morning I took the cover off and discovered that the compressor was fine as were the lines. But the bracket was broken in many pieces. I got the bracket from the dealer today and installed it ($100 part.)
All is well. I consider myself lucky that I didn't break the compressor. That would have cost me much more money.
