    Just ck the air line coming from the compressor to the air tank and look at the flex part of the line it flexes when the motor is running and only leaks when it's running?

    It's probably leaking a ton of air out of your exhaust. If there's a whooshing sound and heat emitting from your weed burner while the engine is running then you've found the airleak.

    If you have a collision management system - check the air lines behind the unit - if mounted near the front bumper

    The mechanic has confirmed that is not the chambers and has nothing to do with the trailers.
