mine didnt..my valves reqired a certain amount of pressure to open or close..about 35 psi...they would leak down..but thats just cause they were older valves and dirty..

yeah, your cool. gotta have the back pressure.
a buddy of mine had is air line {obviously hanging too l ow} catch on something and drain his tanks....well, that cuased the whole truck to lay out while driving unexpectedly.

i plan on adding in some check vavles very soon as a matter of fact.

check valves are a great idea. A set of check valves would have saved us hours and hours on the side of the highway when a buddy of mine drug through his air tank and his whole truck laid out.

Yea check valves would have been great when the line from my tank popped off when I was on 95...
What would you guys do if when you hit your rear switches and the valves just kept letting air out of your tank and pulling the air from your front bags too instead of just your rear bags?
