Ram Air Sinks When Unlocked

[dslack1000]

Hello. I have been having issues with my air ride for some time now. I'm looking for any feedback since I haven't been able to find anybody else that is experiencing issues when the truck is "awake". The following is an outline of issues and what I've tried and the results.

Truck: 2017 Ram Rebel w/ air ride

Issues:
- The truck sinks on all 4 corners (mainly the rear) when the truck is "awake"/unlocked. What i mean by awake is i can lock the truck after i get out and leave it for hours, but if i unlock it the second i do i can hear the rear arms creaking as it sinks. Within about an hour it will be on the bump stops.
- On occasion the truck is slow to recover after i have had a trailer attached or weight in the bed.
- When it sinks i can hear air coming from the exhaust hose in the rear corner panel.

Things I've done to fix it:
- I have replaced the valve block. No resolution.
- I have added Air brake antifreeze
- I have checked the fuses
- I have removed the fuses and left it for 3 days. The truck didnt sag one bit even though i went in and out multiple times. I tried to drive it without the fuses and it sank within a few miles.
-I have checked 90% of the system for air leaks
