Lmackattack Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I replaced the Air compressor on my RS700L and I think the govener is hook up incorrectly.First the govenor was originaly installed on the end of the compressor and had 2 lines running from it.I wanted to remote mount it on the firewall so bplted it to the fire wall and I ran a line from the compressor to the bottom middle port with a tee fitting to feed the air dryer. then the bottom port farthest from the plastic end cap has a line to the air tank?when the truck is running the exhaust hole (bottom port closest to the plastic cap) lets air escape?did I some how cross the air dryer and air tank lines? or did I complertly mess things up?LOLthanks Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 I will try again tonightI bought it new but there were no instructions in the box? It looks as if its hooked up correctly but I might have mixed up the lines. there are letters and numbers on the govener but nothing that a rookie could understand. Thanks for the link 2K i will have to add that to my fav listTrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
