Hello
I have 2002 Volvo with Cummins ISX
My air dryer Bendix AD-9 started to cycle every 10-15 seconds
it purges at 125 psi , purge valve slowly leaks to 120 psi (can hear it and also can see it on gauges) and then cycles again![]()
Changed the governor so far but it didnt help
Any clues what could it be ?
Any info will be greatly appreciated![]()
Purge valve cycling between 125-120 psi every few seconds

I'd bypass until you get the dryer replaced. Bad spitter valve on dryer. The cold weather made it worse. You might have other air leaks too. Just bypass the som beach so your truck stop neighbors can get some shut eye.
bravoo67 Thanks this. -
Should I change the dryer or just the valve ?
Will look in to bypassing it ! -
Replace the purge valve and replace the cartridge in the dryer. Should be done every fall anyway. The dryer that is.

Dryers are cheap, just replace with a reman and swap for the core.
bravoo67 Thanks this. -
leaking unloader valves in the compressor will do it also ..
bravoo67 Thanks this. -
I would replace the entire dryer.

It could be worse, I had a Peterbilt here that would fart for five minutes after shutdown. Literally it sounded like someone easing out a bunch of squeakers, replaced the purge valve and all was good.
When was the last time you changed the desiccant canister?bravoo67 Thanks this. -
Hello
The problem is solved!!
Turned out it needed bottle or two of BRAKES ANTIFREEZE FLUID..
Everything is back to normal
Thank you all for the effort!!
