    Nah they will hold after the air finishes draining. Two of the brakes are brand new, two are only about a year old. I am going to get yet another quick release valve. This one works better than the last but it is a rebuilt unit....so idk that's the only explanation I have. I'm going to order a sealco brand new one. Because it really just seems the valve doesn't quite release the proper amount of air. Close but not 100%. I'll update this thread when the new valve arrives.

    Are you over greasing the S-cams and coating the brakes with grease?

    Nah brakes are all good. Two are brand new. Other two are maybe one year old. I am pretty certain that T with the blue line going to it for an air switch isn't supposed to be there. Going to investigate this week when I get sometime.
