The only thing that can cause it to go out besides a mechanical failure is overheating. The compressor is water cooled. If you ran in some mud or shell it can get trapped in the compressor and burn it up.

The overheating part if my fault, a four hour tow will do that to you. W is too nice of a guy to let me pay his bill on this but he should.
