    Hi to everyone.
    It’s been few days maybe a week my truck is leaking air from somewhere, but i can’t find it. So this is what is going on.
    As i accelerate i hear the air leak is louder. 5 seconds before the air dryer makes that sound “pshh” i guess its called before it purges the air leak is gone and if i accelerate there is no leak and now right after that pshhh the leak is coming back.

    what can be ? could be Air dryer, governor, compressor ?

    please help it drives me crazy. boost is good on the gauge

    Does this only happen when your air compressor is on?

    Well i can’t really tell. The only times it doesn’t leak air is 4-5 seconds before dryer purges. I would say the whole time.

    Build your psi to full capacity and shut the truck off, then get out and listen for leaks. If you don't hear any, find some way to push the brake pedal down (like a stick or something) then listen for leaks again. If you don't hear any, then it probably has something to do with your air dryer
