It just started I can't seem to figure out why when truck is running my compressor kicks on every two minutes used to be every 20 to 30. What I did let the air build up to 136psi and governer turn on I turn of the truck and listen for any leaks nothing at all. When truck is off till morning my air is around 100psi but once I start the truck compressor kicks in does it job and governer as well but why every 2 min. By the way I tried with soap to and seem no bobbles every where I can think of that has air lines
Air leak

Have you checked or changed the air dryer??
Or the purge valve may be bad due to contamination from bad dryer?
Or your compressor is bad, or old and on the way out?
Check compressor outlet pressure with your hand, or thumb. Your thumb should be pushed off easily while your pushing hard. -
Have you checked it with the brakes charged, or only set. If it is sitting over nightand has 100 pounds in the morning,it is not leaking with the brakes set, you may have a maxi or line to a maxi leaking when charged.

Where is compressor outlet pressure atIntothesunset Thanks this. -
Check you compressor outlet port.
Just wrench off the line fitting I think it is 13/16 or something. -

Have you tried parking with air nobs pushed in when air is supplied to brakes?

Kill the motor, chock your wheels and mash the yellow valve in, go towards back of truck and I bet you will hear a leak.
If not mash the red valve in and start looking at trailer. -
