Air System Cut-out pressure & Purge

Yahoo Message Number: 6443
I need some opinions and experiences on a problem I noticed recently. During my last long weekend trip, I noticed that the air pressure gauges would indicate 130psi and then stop. I no longer have the 'pop-off' purge of the system that I normally had and could hear when the pressure reached 125psi.

I routinely open up the three tank valves in bay under drivers seat to purge out any moisture in the system after each trip. I normally get no or very little moisture in the system. However, I did this last trip because of some heavy rain we drove through. The air dryer cartridge was replaced last year.

In looking at the manuals and schematics, I see one of two possible culprits. The governor or the air dryer purge valve. I am concerned about doing damage to the compressor if I continue to operate it this way. Do you have any experience or opinions on such a problem?
