    Im chasing an even bigger air leak on my 386 as well. It'll drain both tanks in an hour. I cant ever seem to find a quiet spot to park and listen with the truck off. Its gottem way worse with the colder weather.

    I agree Omaha Steak Company products are over rated. My dad was given some manh years ago and we all thought they were nothing special.

    That said, there is a difference between grocery store steak and butcher steak. In the truck I make do with grocery store, but if I am at home and cooking for others I get the good stuff despite the price difference. Better texture, better flavor and the just seem easier to cook.

    My guess would be a leveling valve. It's generally not loud enough to hear, and moving around in the cab can hasten the air loss.

    If you grab the little lever on them and wiggle, if they're worn out you can make them leak air real easy.

    I remember my dad ordering Omaha steaks in the early 80's. Can't remember how the steak were, but have fond memories of my brother and I throwing the dry ice in the toilet.
    Back in the day it was the cat's meow.

    My last truck would bleed off almost all the air in a 24 hr period bobtail never did find any leaks. But it held air when driving

    Crikey. Thats one of your better stories Mr. Heavy -
    I've got lots of stories from my Triple A days. Lord have mercy some of the dum stuff people do in the name of saving a tire. In fact, not long ago I was leaving the wonderful city of Des Moine, coming around a curved on ramp and here is a dude changing a tire on the shoulder. Driver side. Couldnt move over much due to other traffic. Hope it didnt freak him out too bad lol -

    It freaked him out I'm sure. Probably stuck to the side of his car like a starfish. Lol. God love him. The man can write. Some hidden gems for those who take the time to read his posts.
