My truck leaks all it’s air out the tanks after sitting for about 2 to 3 hours. I can hear a tiny amount of air coming from the purge valve during the last few seconds. What could it be?
Is my truck supposed to leak down air?

If you have a Volvo, most likely one or more connection at the firewall and possible throughout the entire truck. They use push-in connectors which easily leak.

Yeah, not normal. Truck should hold air all weekend. Many places to look. If any your bags are empty after then I'd start there. Possible leveling valve or bag leak. Fan hub is another place. Then most air connection that are push in type.

Not normal at all. Look at the quick connect fittings at air bags.

Tractor alone you're typically allowed what, 2 PSI max per minute of air loss?
That said, most trucks I've seen hold at least 60 PSI when parked overnight.
