    I just finished installing a PacBrake. I turned it on for 4-5 minutes but it never shut-off. It's not connected to the ECM but strickty manual control.
    My question is this: How long should it take to fully pressurize the 1/2 gallon tank from empty?

    Is your the PRXB? and you are talking about the compressor not shutting off? You must have a leak, mine takes maybe a minute to fill up the tank.

    Yes, it's a PRXB.

    That's what I was looking for. I'll do a soapy leak check tomorrow.

    Thanks

    Are you referring to the compressor or the brake itself, or both?

    Sorry, it's fixed. I had two leaks; one at the compressor and one at the solenode.
