    This is on my 379 dump truck and the pup trailer. The rear air valve on the pup is loosing air from where I’m pointing and the TPV is releasing air from its bypass. It’s losing air at the rear when I release the parking brakes in the cab but the TPV doesn’t bypass until I apply the brake from the pedal. It was mentioned to me, that I probably got a bad brake chamber on this pup causing this. IMG_4199.jpeg image.jpg

    I replaced the FF2 valve on the rear reservoir of the pup and it seems to be working fine.
