i would definitely service or bypass the dryer before i did the equivalent of a $1000.00 parts check maybe repair by replacing the compressor....
a compressor that makes 125psi doesn't sound like a bad one to me.........
after i drained and flushed my tanks and checked the compressor discharge for carbon build up etc.
i would do a whole bunch of stuff before i yanked a 125psi able compressor.

Problem Fixed - I hope!
We replaced the governor and that didn't do it.  Then we rebuilt the unloader valve in the compressor and that seems to have done the trick.

Thanks to everyone for all the help!
