I have an '06 1800 with an '08 solid axle Motor Trike conversion. For the longest time, I've had a slow leak that would deplete my airbags over a period of several days. I did the soap test on the lines and connections without finding the culprit. Figured I would just have to live with it until last Saturday I noticed the rear end was sagging and figured I'd air it up even though I wasn't going for a ride (DANG THIS QUARANTINE!).
To my surprise it wouldn't take air. After closer inspection I found the valve core stem was moving around. I thought, "now this is a first!" as I've never had a schrader valve issue on any vehicle. So I purchased this valve core kit from Advance for 4 bucks and here we are 3 days after replacement and NO LEAKDOWN! Guess I didn't think to soap test the valve :facepalm:. Moral of the story...Check EVERYTHING! Hopefully this will help someone.
