Well here's a question. If the new style trailers have the reserve tank, do
we need to bleed the air from that tank when the trailer is parked? It
would seem to me if you have a real tight system the "brake away" brakes
would apply when you unhook the trailer or you loose air on your truck
(about 1 hour with mine) and the brakes would apply. This would leave the
hydraulics applied until the tank on the trailer leaked down. Wouldn't this
over work the system and lead to leaky wheel cylinders? Enquiring minds
want to know.
