All fittings comp ,new everything nothing left out , brakes chambers , ride height valves ,norgrens, door lock valve, park brake valve, tag lift valve, Mac valves for step slide and air horns , check valves on tanks, new drain cocks, dryer new, compressor new , new R14 , and R12s , air bags all new in last year holds air in all three gauges for a week now, new white sensors for air alarms three of them they leak bad in steering bay, new protection valves two of them, new mini air bags on fan, new regulator for mini air bags all good now just a PM for me…..No need to run aux compressor any more nothing needs it have not run it for 6 months now just turn it on to make sure it works ball valve stops it at line coming out of the manifold block that’s the best!!!!!!!

Replaced my governor 4 times during my ordeal definitely not the governor. I’m thinking now I had a stuck valve in the compressor. Looking back this problem all started with the pressure maxing @ close to 150 psi. Everybody tells me the system has a backup to release pressure but when you see that much pressure on the the gauge you think “She’s gonna Blow!” or “Something about to go BOOM!”. When it got that high I would pump the brakes down to let off pressure. Turns out the AD2 was shot. All the dryer beads were gone, all I had was a empty dryer. Which promptly sent me to blow clear and clean out every line. Didn’t find much past the wet tank, everything else looked good but I kept searching. No time to give up now. You would not belive how many feet of air line is on one of these things! A truck driver friend kept telling me the governors had been ruined that’s why I kept replacing them. Turns out it may have been a stuck valve in the compressor and probably from excessive pressure. After a good enema she’s working great! Take 2 aspirin and call me tommorrow for a follow up exam! Problem solved! 🙂
