    Well the air dryer went and the compressor seems louder, but it still works. I got a new AD9 , air dryer for 340 plus another 20 for a governor. I took off the old one today. I'll put the new one on tommorow. Im not sure what to do with the compressor. It hit a180 psi , then I killed the truck and made a tank leak to keep it around 105 and 135 psi for the two tanks. But it didn't cycle off for three hours.

    The governor would have help.

    My truck has the ez lube system, or whatever its called. Same as D.Tibbitts. So that cuts down on some worry, but when they do it, Im always out there watching and talking to them.

    So the choices are

    Red curry chicken (Thai style) and rice
    Ground sirloin steak and Mac n cheese.
    veggie is steamed broccoli
    Then the decision is what will be the finish.
    Red grapes
    Strawberries
    Cara cara orange segments.

    A few years ago with Eyore I had the same thing Opus was dealing with - hearing air from the yellow knob. Did all the checks I could and it sounded like the leak was coming from the air leveler. Got into a shop and had it replaced, no more air sounds. 3 hours down the road, I'm back at square one. Ran it to a company shop and their first thought was the brake control module. Went to the hotel, came back the next morning and was told it was just a brake chamber.

    Moral of the story - things are not always as simple as they appear.

    For whomever asked "why wait 4 hours for a mudflap"- a few weeks ago I zip tied a mudflap onto the hanger until I could get to the yard. Why you ask? One of the bolts was bent and I don't have anything on the truck to cut a bolt off. It doesn't matter how easy a job is if you don't have the tools.
