    ADIS dryer is equipped with a preset, non-adjustable governor.

    OP, make sure you have the correct part number governor, you cannot swap the governor with just any aftermarket one. I would start with truck model and verifying parts are correct for the application. Is the governor mounted on the dryer?

    No do not replace with adjustable. It will worsen your condition.

    Call Bendix tech line 1800 AIR Brake

    Some ADIS are extended purge and continue to drain after purge. Could this be the issue?
