    We’re assuming he’s pulled this trailer before so I’m sure they’re hooked up right.

    FYI...if you have air blowing out of your brake chambers, theres some serious maintenance issues going on.

    Air doesn't "come out" of a brake chamber unless its ruptured. Just sayin.

    It's not coming out of a sealed brake chamber unless the brake chamber is ####ed up!!!

    Why is this so hard to understand????

    You giving out misinformation is half the problem on this dam site. YOU are wrong!!!!

    Also, not every trailer let's the service air bypass through the relay valves when the system is not changed on the emergency side. There several different setups.

    Do you realize some trailers dont even have spring brakes?
