Air pressure slower than normal to build pressure.

Even after having Josam’s work on my air leaks, I still have very little air in my tanks the next morning. Still took several minutes at 1200 rpm to get above 100 psi.

On our trip out West I finally isolated a leak between the compressor and the air dryer… hard to find it with the engine running and doesn’t leak with it off. While Monaco tried to support it, it still rubbed on the support above the transmission… right side of 1st picture. While the loop in the line made it long enough to cut the bad section off, it’s also the reason it rubbed a hole in it. 
Put a temporary patch on it using Rescue Tape and a split water hose and 5 spiral clamps. This worked for several days until I could cut the bad section off and reuse the end by cutting the crimping off. Clamped it on the line with 2 spiral clamps until I could order the correct screw on fitting… last picture.

If you are under your rig, take a look at this air line and how it’s supported above the transmission.
