    Hi All

    Got a Peterbilt 579 with an ISX15 engine.

    Recently this weird problem developed and I was wondering if anyone has any insight.

    The compressor build's air pressure to 130 PSI (Primary and Secondary tanks) followed by a drop of 10-15 PSI over a few minutes and builds it back up again to 130. Endless cycle on repeat.

    Is this a sign of a major repair coming up or is it something simple and cheap to repair?

    Thank you kindly.
