Re: Low Air Alarm Sounding with low PSI - Revised April 27,2
Gentlemen,
The fitting on the air dryer was not the problem after all, it was the air dryer itself and had contributed to low pressure from the first day we've owned the coach(over 2.5 years) and we just didn't know where the pressure should have been. It was riding around 65 psi from day one and should have been about 125ish, almost double. The new dryer arrives tomorrow and will be installed at a price of $399 for the dryer itself. After trying other portions of the air system as the culprit and replacing those parts, the tech realized they weren't the issue and that the dryer was conflicting with other portions of the air system and it's PSI level.The other new parts were removed and man hours subtracted from the bill at my request as they were functioning normally, and the problem had been mis-diagnosed by the tech. All in all, a $600 repair bill for a new air dryer and labor.....
In the meantime the air dryer was bypassed so we can get around minimally until the part comes in, which has been working fine, albeit a bit noisy from the air tank releasing air constantly, lol!
Thank you for all your input gentlemen, it's very much appreciated!
