    This is a 2022 Cascadia 126, the purge valve on the air dryer keeps purging every second. Asked a friend about this and he mentioned it could be the air dryer filter which I changed and that didn't fix the issue. I made a video which I will attach to this post.
    What would be the problem?
    Thanks

    The air from the governor that unloads the compressor and opens the purge valve on the dryer is leaking off somewhere.

    Thank you veere, I just put it in shop and let's see what they say. I asked my one mechanic and that's what he had told me as well.

    It is definitely the air governor. They use to be an easy fix without crawling under the truck, but they moved it on most of today's trucks so you have to crawl under.
