No Air Pressure??
« on: April 05, 2026, 02:51:10 PM »
Thankfully broke down in a camp site but between Arizona and South Carolina.
Pulled in last night and this morning I’ve got no air pressure.
Tanks won’t recharge and obviously Park Brake won’t release.
Where should I start trouble shooting? Is this an air compressor issue or air governor?
Any help on Easter Sunday LOL would be helpful.

I would look at the air governor first. They are cheap and can be found at any NAPA or truck place.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Ok. Good to know. Apparently the local NAPA store here in Van Horn has one but is closed until tomorrow. Will go that route first thing in the morning.

Roger
This might help you understand and troubleshoot the governor, compressor and air drier.
