Thanks Duane, I called a local Industrial shop and explained my air system.
They also told me to tube pressure switch to Tk. and to add water separator
and replace check if bad. I believe they were under $40 (they just gave me a
under price) for check&separator and some fittings. I already have a gauge
tubed to tk. could you tell me whats the and more in the Cinnabar kit?
Thanks for your help and info.

Thanks Gene, Nice GMC!!!& Toad. And nice and informative site which I have
used alot. So I guess the more in kit is just the fittings. I might check
local shop and see what I get for under $40. Thanks again!! Another ? Does
the overhaul kit (Dana pump) still work on pumps that don't have red head
gasket? mine(guard) faces the side on radiator and it don't look to have GMC
on it, but looks identical.
