Bendix Brakes won't air up

[Al]

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?
