Dealing with an air leak, the low-pressure air switch is leaking around the power connector and needs to be replaced. I found the part in the manual but haven't had any luck finding it online or at any of the local parts houses.  I have reached out to Gillig to see if they can help me out.  In the meantime was trying to source something locally to get me by until I could get the original part.

Had anyone else had this issue, did you find the original part or use an after-market one?

Part Number: 51-00160-004
1995 Beaver Marquis Sapphire
Cummins 8.3

See photos below... if I attached them correctly.





Thank you,
Jeff

Thank you for that link, called Mohawk they said that part has been discontinued, then talked with Gillig they said it was replaced with 51-26117-018 for $70.98. There is a guy that works on diesel trucks close to my house, stopped by there a little bit ago and it said he would replace it with a different one... he gave me this info: "Newstar S-9127 Low Air Pressure Switch, 1/8" NPT, 65-75 PSI Activation" he said it will just alarm quicker but should work. I can get it tomorrow for $27 so going to try it until the Gillig one comes in, will at least stop our air leak.
