I recently had routine service performed at Guaranty RV in Junction City . (I should have listened to advice against going there.) Anyway, during the servicing I was reluctantly talked into having the air drier system serviced including replacing the cartridge. It had never been serviced and was overdue according to the service tech. Hundreds of dollars later the task was completed and we were back on the road. Whereas before this service was performed, the air pressure shown on the dual red and green pointers in the dash would hold pressure for many weeks (months) while parked. Now they bleed down to zero within a day or so. Obviously they didn't seal something properly or broke something else and of course I have no recourse now because we are a thousand miles away. I've listened closely for any hissing of air but it is apparently not enough to hiss but enough to bleed off the pressure. I have also checked the 3 forward air nozzles to make sure they are closed.
Some questions come to mind. How long does the pressure hold in some of your rigs? (Mine is a Cummins 2002 Intrigue with an ISL 370.)
For those of you who perhaps service your own rigs, where should I look for the leak? How difficult is it to remove and reseal the air drier canister?
Any other thoughts?
Does the Guaranty RV center in Indio do any service work or are they only a sales facility?
Thanks for any comments or advice.

You probably have already tried this but are you leaving your tax axel switch in the up position when you park? If you do, the air will bleed out. Once I have parked the rv I always put the tax axel down and my air holds just fine.

Steve: My rig bleeds down, but it takes a month or so to get to zero.
Since the work was on the air drier, I would get a spray bottle of soapy water and spray on it. It is likely leaking around the main o-ring.
And no, Guaranty does not do any service work in Indio. You might go talk to them though, they might be able to send you to a place that will look at it on their ticket.

Mine's about the same and always has been, a week maybe two. Doesn't seem to mean anything though.

Steve -
Please don't look for any help from Guaranty in Indio as there is no longer a Guaranty facility in Indio. We were in Indio about a month ago and you could hardly even tell where they had been.

There could certainly be a leak at the unit from a number of places. But, having replaced Haldex filters on a SOB recently, I can see where it would be very easy to have grime fall into the unit when the main filter cartridge is removed. That grime is likely to travel to the end of the system, where it could get lodged in a valve someplace and cause leaks there.
You might need to soap-test the entire system.
