Question about air governors

If it’s popping every 5 min you must have a leak that’s signaling the governor to load compressor. Have you checked for leaks. Asking because I have same system on my trucks and they don’t cycle at all unless psi drops enough signal compressor cut in.
5 psi difference is unusual as well but yes changing governor isn’t going to hurt anything

 

If you dont have a requirement to have the higher cut-in/cut-out due to commodity you haul, go for it, no need to annoy yourself and others

 

See if setting trailer brakes at night helps

 

...just have it connected to the air horn for even better experience ...

 

You say you have 2 other governors, just go do it, if neither of those bolt up and work, just cuss a bit more than you did bruising your knuckles swapping em and grab another beer and swap the original back while ordering a set of earplugs... take you 2 hrs if youre a novice with a wrench, might even be pleasantly surprised that it works

 

The compressor and dryer dont have to be paired. It sounds like the dryer is your issue. Put a Bedix drier on it.

All info I have for Bendix and Meritor non adjustable governor, say not to replace preset governor with adjustable.
