    2014 t680 will hold air over night, usually dropping to around 40-50 psi. Have replaced numerous fittings to get to this point. With engine idling or running down road it will repeatedly drop to 105 kick in pressure every 6 minutes roughly. Im completely stumped.

    I had a 14 t-680 and was constantly chasing leaks..plastic push fittings.

    To me it sounds like something on the accessory side. Your accessory air tank is located behind your driver side step.

    Remove the 4 bolts and check the fittings..right side of the tank. Soap and water in a spray bottle.
