Well I must be doing something wrong here, the guy at NAPA assured me I picked up "the absolute best" thread sealant. I even let it cure for over 24 hours before I ran any air through the system. Not a bloody hope this thing leaks worse now than it ever did with just the tape.

I don't know what to think anymore and I definitely can't afford to switch of now to any other system like the accuair. At the very least I will try it one more time with a different sealant. But I am probably going to look at dropping down to 1/4 inch airlines, with the 1/2" lines the truck basically jumps off the ground. I have 1/4" lines on the dump valves and I really like how smooth it goes down.

Any suggestion 1/4 3/8 or 1/2?
