    2014 t680. There are two squares beside foot valve on firewall. One has airlines connected to push pull fittins. Other square is empty ports with no lines. One of the empty ports on this one leaks air only when trailer valve is pulled out. Does this mean the dash valve is bad? Thanks in advance and happy trucking

    Is this with trailer gladhand connected? Sounds like trailer back feeding from bad trailer relay valve.

    Air up truck fully, set all parking brakes and disconnect gladhands. Air shouldn't come out of gladhands on trailer.

    Wonder if that may also explain why when truck gets 25 psi application air, trailer is only been getting maybe 10 psi so trailer not stopping as much as truck

    Yes, that is your problem. Couple of different ways to plumb trailers, but you need relay valve that controls parking brake on trailer. Some all in on valve, some separate spring brake relay valve.

    Alright, thanks so much. Was bout to go buy the dash valve from dealer as they said that's probably the problem. You saved me money and time. This forum has helped me tremendously several times because of people like you that take their time to help another. Have a great day my friend.
