    Someone else just suggested governor. But why will it be the governor?

    Because the mayor only has the ability to restrict the flow of localized air. Sounds like your leak is statewide.

    Need inspections, pull in and ask. The only way if you don’t get a random.
    its not that hard to do.

    You can get a generic one for $18 or the Bendix for around $50 plus. It's like an hour to mess with to change it. It's the cheapest thing that can go wrong. The cartridge is the next cheapest thing to change out.

    There is a air leak, only way pressure can go down, air bags can leak when extended, take leveling valve loose and over inflate them,if that’s the problem ask you mechanic for a refund.

    I just find out about airleaks on the leveling valve. I don't know whether is Normal. It leaks more when I have trailer on top of it.

    What do you mean every ten minutes?

    you mean it leaks down to where the governor kicks the compressor ten minutes after the governor kicks the compressor off?
