Wait! I'm still trying to figure out how you have 130 psi brake pressure on the trailer.
Is anybody actually reading the numbers or ya just skimming.
Go re read it and tell me the OP makes sense. -

After brakes have been applied and released take the glandhand of the blue line. Was there residual air pressure when you removed the gland hand? If so problem is with most likely with tractor protection valve. The one behind the cab with the red blue and red lines are on. In some cases the mv 3 valve can cause this also ( the one with the yellow and red button)

Or he thinks his secondary air gauge is the trailer air.
I go with the latter since he said it stays the same at 130.pigeon river trucking Thanks this. -

I have 3 gauges on my dash. No.1 and No.2. I do not have 3 tanks. And tank number one is my tractor air, and tank number 2 is my trailer air. The 3rd shows how much pressure you are applying when you press the peddle. The 2 gauges, same as most everybody else has, unless I'm in the Twilight Zone, shows good PSI at 120 to 130. No.1 has 130 psi. No.2 goes down to 120 psi when I apply brakes. The brake pressure gauge when I apply the brakes, go to about 30 or 40 and when I let off the peddle, the gauge stays at 30 or 40 as if I'm still applying the brake, and then it SLOWLY drops to zero. It doesn't just drop fast back to zero when I release the peddle, as it supposed to do. I've attached a pic for those who don't seem to know what air gauges and brake pressure gauges are. And no, I didn't remove my dash panels and gauges to take these pics lol. Found these on the Internet because I'm not I'm my truck.
