Question. Has anyone ever hooked an air compressor up to your truck before, without the engine running? So, I have had the cab tilted fwd for over a week, been working on the engine area. Well, I made a quick disconnect air chuck an attached it to the front air supply. Because I wanted to lower the cab. Slowly the pressure started coming up on the tanks. But I started finding small air leaks. the fwd port air brake bladder is leaking air. there are some small black hoses that leak air, and the cab air ride has a small leak also. Is it because air tanks are filling up slower or do I have an actual concern hear?

You have leaks, fix them. Speed of fill makes no difference. You just couldn't hear them over the engine before

did you add air thru the front red glad-hand? If so, be careful, that also releases the park brakes, so chock the wheels…

Did not use the red side. Wheel chocks are now on the list, thank you for that.

So where exactly did you connect the air to?

I have it hooked up to the blue side.
