    Correction on my part. 12 lbs to 15 lbs. I was really tired and saw the 100xk on the gauge and quoted it as such. haha. I am an idiot.

    I usually just blow off with one valve open at a time where as a lot of other guys in oil field will open two. I have found one works about the same speed for me and opening two just makes me more likely to clog.

    Maybe try getting back to basics.
    Did This problem occur out of the blue or slowly got worse?
    Was there any kind of work done weather you think it could be related or not on the truck/ trailer when you first noticed the problem?

    What are your line and tank pressure when the truck drops rpms? I know if my pressures get high I can definitely tell by the sound of the engine.
