I've got a 98 pete and the Air dryer is constantly purging about every 30 seconds. I have replaced air dryer, air governor, air compressor and it is still doing it. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check the Braided Line that goes from the Governor to the Dryer, underneath the Braid is a plastic line which gets old and dried out and could be cracked causing you to have a leak.
-
Would it be an audible leak? I can hear no air leaking from any of the hoses.

OldPete379 Thanks this.

Not losing any air pressure.

Spray that braided line down with some soap suds and see if it shows up anything. Sometimes they will leak through themselves in multiple places. They won't make any noise, but if the signal line is losing pressure, it doesn't hold your compressor unloaders up, and it will cycle continuosly. I needed to add, watch for bubbling on braided line as system is working. With engine off and signal line losing its pressure, a leak won't show.
OldPete379 Thanks this. -
blairandgretchen and gpsman Thank this.

Good advice so far, if you don't find anything with the suggestions so far, the unloaders themselves can be leaking inside the compressor. You probably have a Tu-flow 550 compressor, if so, an unloader kit isn't much and pretty easy to do.

tell me about it, I don't how a guy could stand it. if it pops off every 7 seconds he the guy I wanted to kill at Walcott. -
Thanks for the help. It wasn't the braided one but the one to the air governor. Cannot believe I couldn't hear air outta that as bad as that hose was bubbling when I sprayed it down. Going to change it in the am hope that does it!
77fib77 and blairandgretchen Thank this.
