yes if the air bag has a large leak such as yours the truck air pressure might fall below the level that holds the parking brake springs in. When that happens the brakes will slowly start to apply. most times you will notice it but some times not. when this happens the shoes heat up and breaking power is limited due to overheated shoes. you will also notice that the the engine is at idle that it will not hold up air pressue with the leak but when driving down the road the compressor may be able to keep up? It all depends on how the bags were plumbed and the size air lines to the bags and such

Your truck will try to store enough air for the chamber release, but barely.

Note, at day start-up, or after storage and leak down, your air bags (and cab bags) come up when the truck reaches 60-70PSI. The truck will try to maintain vital air supply since suspension is non-essential. Chambers can still drag.

Gotta find that dirty sucker who stuck his finger through the bag!!!!!
