Paul,
Not sure about the compressor it's self, but one important thing you can do yourself is change the air dryer. I have a 2000 american eagle with cummins 8.3. It has a an air dryer coming right off the compressor called system saver 1200. Not changing this frequent enough can cause problems if moisture gets into your brake or suspension system. My friend just paid 500 to have his changed after he had problems with his brakes. I just bought one from NAPA for 25 bucks, spartan wanted 115. All you need to change it is a strap wrench and let the air out of the systsem.
Good luck,
Bill
