I usually empty the tanks a few times a year, and there is hardly any water in any of the five tanks. It is the truck, thats the problem, acts the same when the trailer is hooked up or running bobtail. The system holds air until pedal is applied and then the secondary will drop. I tried this with the engine off and really didnt hear any leaking, but the wind was blowing and I was by myself so I couldnt crawl under the truck and listen. Brake pads are thick, so I don't think they are out of adjustment. I am familiar with the spring loaded units and was planning changing a bad one as a unit, I just don't think that is the problem this time. We had a trailer one go bad last year and it had a definate leaking air sound, I just don't hear anything like that on the truck. The stuck valve Wayne describes seems to fit whats going on. The Bendix link has a lot of good information, I didnt take the time to read through it all, antoher time I will. Got some weather moving in so this will have to get set aside for now, won't need it for a bit. I appreciate all the replies and information.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
