    Just the cab leaks down or your secondary air gauge as well? If so you have a leak on the tank, the air bags, leveling valves, or seats more than likely. Like Judge said. Spray bottle with soapy water.

    In the old days before air dryers were invented, we use to drain all the air out of the tanks, usually the wet tank to drain the moisture out. Then come back in the morning, shut the drain valve, start her up for warm up and go.
