Re: Holset type e compressor

Scott, I honestly don't know how to answer that except for the fact that putting in the bypass kit and taking the air dryer out fix the pressure issues. It was no longer pegging at the top of the dial. I'm thinking that I had the isolation valve in the previous air dryer and didn't pay that much attention to the part number. I read on the forms that this is the part that they use so I didn't think anything different. I'm definitely going to put in a different air dryer. Or rebuild the bottom of the one I have now with a new purge valve and put in an isolation valve. I've got a few months to think about it since I don't really want to pay for shipping down to Mexico. But my air dryer is sitting in the front seat of my Jeep so I might be able to get them sourced in Mexico. Appreciates everybody's input on this and hopefully it won't be confusing but it will be a frame of reference on which one to use and which one not to use. The bottom line is check your air compressor on the engine. Trying to get some degreaser / brake cleaner into that area was difficult. I didn't want to get up in the ground and spray up when it would come back down on me and I already spent enough time underneath the coach taking the air dryer out and putting the bypass on. And and bit me in the auxilla area and it hurt. I did not want to get back down again so I had to spray between the air conditioner compressor in the mount for it and then put my phone kind of in sideways and take a couple pictures until I got something presentable. I'm just glad it's not the air compressor that's having problems. And I don't think it's the unloader valve because it seems to be maintaining pressure now at 110 psi.
And I replaced the governor with a new one. I guess it's possible that that governor's defective as well, but I don't think so since the pressures are holding right at 110. I used to think that the purge on the dryer was the system get rid of extra air pressure, but now no from the research that it's just to recycle and clean the dryer. Dryer. Also notice some oil on the passenger front of my Jeep being towed today. It's spotting nothing major but it wasn't there before. Also, when we got to where we're staying tonight in Mexico I open the wet tank and I got a good amount of water out along with some additional desiccant powder. I think as the water level climbed during the day it was hitting places it didn't hit before and washing the desiccant off the side of the tank.
