The air spring compressor stopped working on our LTV this summer but I just got around to finding a replacement since it doesn't leak enough air to need the compressor very often. Our LTV had a Firestone model "850" compressor but searching online found no reference to this model compressor.

I did find a replacement after calls to Firestone/Ride-Rite and then to a parts outlet for Ride-Rite so I thought I would save someone else from a similar search by posting this info here.

They also did not have any reference to the Firestone compressor in our LTV but after me sending photos and their contact with Firestone I have a replacement model on the way.
