Gardner-Denver air compressor problem

We experienced a major failure on a WLN GD compressor installed on a F59PHI lately. The oil pump succion tube broken off at pump flange, and the compressor burned because of lack of lubrication. Apparently F59s are subject to vibrations problems, which can explain such failure.

Any suggestions/recommandations to prevent such problem? Any FMI (Field Modification Instruction) or upgrade kit available from the OEM or aftermarket on this matter?

Thanks..

Since compressor and engine are frame mounted, (and not only on F59phi type locomotives) the vibration should be equal on all locomotives powered by same EMD package.
seems that the compressor may have had a damaged or stressed suction tube on oil pump, maybe it was bumped on installation ???

Theoretically vibrations should be similar on most locomotive of a same type. But rotating equipment speed and balancing is usualy slighly different from a locomnotive to another. Same for flexible couplings condition. For all those reason, vibrations can become a serious problem. Frame and structure fatigue can be the cause for excessive vibration as well.

Was the Gardner-Denver compressor the original equipment or Ingersoll-Rand? Sometimes when a different component replaces the orginal equipment, problems develope.

It is a genuine Gardner & Denver mounted in a F59PHI purchased in 2000~2001. I wonder if other F59s have same problem..
