    Lucky he didn't flat spot some tires driving it witth the brakes set., that is normally not a good plan.
    I have had to change out tires where guys just drove across the parking lot like that.

    UPDATE. Truck is drivable, but still leaking air somewhere. Pressure drops within 3-4 minutes, when engine is off.

    Good thing is, I delivered the load I was stuck with, without any penalties, and almost on time. Drove 2700 miles in two days, that was entertaining.

    Brakes not dragging, everything is fine, except for the pressure dropping too fast after engine is shut off

    Nope. Just driving it. Hopefully it will last for another two weeks. Will take it to the shop after the trip.

    ANOTHER UPDATE:
    So finally this morning air leak got bad enough to make me go under the truck and take a look. what I found was a couple of plastic connectors got loose and leaking air. if somebody can tell me how to fix this without paying thousands of dollars, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! IMG-20190914-WA0004.jpeg IMG-20190914-WA0000.jpeg
