Last wee whe. Driving the coach I noticed the air brake pressure gauge on the dash reading higher than in the past, even everything seems to operate fine. I went back and found pictures to show over time.

October 25, 2016  red needle 112 and white needle 110psi
April 29, 2017    Red needle 128 and white needle 125psi
May 18, 2017     Red needle almost 150 and white needle 145psi

Is this a concern?

YES

Go to any truck repair place and have them either adjust or replace the governor on the air compressor at the engine.
