Thanks to Planefast for the pictures of your wet tank. There is nothing like some pictures

Thanks to MtnSnow & 98G about your comments on the 125 psi blow off valve. I am replacing it with a 150 psi valve. As you both pointed out it was too close to the governor rating and in warming up the truck yesterday, it did pop one time when the primary gauge show about 125 psi. Thanks...

I want to thank all the members who responded to the post I started about the compressor and governor. I am happy to report that the problem has been rectified and it was rather simple in the end. When I got my truck the relief valve on the wet tank was a problem because it kept releasing air...

What is the normal pressure of the wet tank. I think my main problem is that my M923A2 came with a relief valve rated for 65 psi which keeps discharging. It appears that this valve should have a rating over 100 psi, probably as high as 125. Is that correct

73m819 --Thanks for your reply. I have replaced the governor and PVC and still have the problem. What is an unloaded valve? I am going to look at the air dryer next.

Thanks porkysplace. I had seen this page but was looking for more detail. I find it very hard to find a specific thing in the tech manuals without a ton of time being involved especially for newcomers. The minute detail in many cases is ridiculous. yet in other cases there appears to be a...

The governor is located on the outer firewall of the M939 series. I have looked through all the 5 ton posts and TM 272-24-1 & 2. I have replaced the PPV and the pressure relief valve on the wet tank line to the brakes and cannot stop the relief valve from discharging. Would the governor be...
