    ISSUE : truck came in with building too much air issue , 130 + psi in the tanks both tanks .
    Here is what I have done so far:
    Installed a brand new secondary tank, reason was weld was leaking due to rust
    Brand new Bendix AD - IS drier and governor , Governor is non adjustable! and tried different adjustable governor same issue !!
    Replaced the unloaded valve on the compressor ,
    Tested compressor operation , stops pumping air to the tanks when I apply shop air to the hose from the governor to compressor ,
    Have no air leaks.

    Any idea or direction some one can point me to?

    130? HA. That's good. I'll take it.

    Rusted tank? Bye bye new tank please.

    Call me damaged. I'll do 150 if the truck would do it. There are times near the GWB I can spend it all in a hurry. I cannot stand weak trucks that max out at 80 pounds and then drip it out....

    Make sure you put the original governor back on the dryer. You cannot install an adjustable/universal governor on that dryer or it will never work right.
