    Spring brake leaking?
    Does it do it when parked with the brake buttons pushed in?

    110 isn't high enough?

    Don't dryers have a adjustment?

    You shouldn't be driving it with a leak that bad. Park and get it fixed. Air leaks don't fix themselves, they only get worse. The last thing you want to happen is to be driving and having both your red and yellow buttons pop out...

    Definitely sounds like a bad maxi can

    If that’s what it is, put a vise grip on the air hose to the can that’s leaking and get it to a shop. Do not keep driving. It will get worse and you will be parked.

    If it does it parked shut the truck off and you will hear where your leak is.
    Of course block the wheels before you do this so the truck doesn’t roll over you or away.
