Saw the other thread with t800. His sounds different. Mine leaks or is blowing air when normally driving down the road. Sometimes it does it, sometimes doesn't. Was told it was an air chamber. Could it be on trailer or just tractor? And how would I find the bad chamber?
w900 parking brake valve leaking?

chalk your wheels, release your brakes, and clamp off each brake hose with hose clamp pliars one by one until the leak stops
fuzzeymateo Thanks this. -
It definitely sounds like a brake chamber. If you can hear air at the valve when the brakes are released then you should be able to hear the air leak by doing a walk around. Chock the wheels, shut the engine off (make sure your air tanks are full), release your brakes then slowly walk around the truck and trailer. You should be able to narrow it down pretty quick.
If you have trouble hearing it, have somebody press the brake pedal while you do the walk around. -
Chock your wheels, If you chalk them like I said to do your truck will still roll, you will just have a multicolor tire!

Block the wheels put the trck in gear with the engine off, release the brakes and walk quickly to see whats leaking, prob a chamber.? could be a stuck open valve going to the chamber, mines stuck like that on and off.
