    Where is the air pressure regulator located? Is it adjustable? My truck runs around 140psi and all the other trucks I have owned and driven stay around 120psi?

    Its located on the driverside of the engine its on the back of the air compressor. If it has a blue cap its not adjustable and was factory set if it has a black cap its adjustable. It costs about $48.00. You could replace a non adjustable if you would like to

    Badluck all I can find on the air compressor is the fuel pump that is mounted and driven off the rear of the compressor.

    Does your air dryer look like this?

    If so, the grey "tube" on the left with the blue cap is the regulator. Blue cap is non-adjustable and preset at factory at 135psi. If it has a black cap, it can be removed and adjusted, there should be a lock nut and adjustment screw.

    Thanks bubbabrenda & badluck. It must be down on the frame rail by the air dryer. I can't see your pic bubbabrenda, it says attachment unavailable.
