Air Dryer constantly blowing; company refuses to fix it

Find the air leak. Show the mechanic where it is, or quit.

 

By pass the air dryer.

 

If it’s an air leak and every 30 seconds it should be pretty easy to find but these new trucks have a lot of plastics and all those small leaks are hard to locate but combined add up to a larger leak

 

Quit the crap mega. It’s only going to get worse.

 

are you maintaining pressure? is the purge line blocked? can you adjust it yourself?

 

Change the filter on air dryer.

For idiot head mechanic, tell him if it didn’t do it that way when truck was new, it shouldn’t be doing it now, there is a problem, or were you sick that day in mechanics 101?

 

If its kicking the compressor in every 30 seconds and the primary/secondary reservoir pressure does not change, its a leak somewhere between the compressor and the wet tank. Or on the signal line to the governor.

 

Note it on the dvir and move on.

Cover your butt with the report. If the company gives you crap about it, ignore it.

When you can't make air, stop the truck, call the company and tell them you can't move because there is no air.
