Bendix Brakes won't air up
Update on my problem. I purchased the following kits to fix my
dryer: DQ6026 - General Service Kit which Includes: Desiccant Cartridge, Coalescing Filter, Relief Valve, Purge Shield and Associated Hardware DA33115 - Purge Assembly Kit Installed all the items and expected my problem to be fixed and still not fixed. The dryer is still hissing from the bottom. Should I re-installed the new air governor? What else can it be? Do I need to buy a new replacement dryer?
