The easiest thing to check first is: The 1" hose that runs under the intake manifold from the bottom front of the intake manifold and back to the air compressor. I had the same symptoms you described and a forum member gave me the same tip. My hole in the hose was at the bottom of the hose right where it connects to the air compressor just as it was described to me. A new hose is $43.00 from Cummins' or an 18" hose from NAPA about $10 bucks.
Which hose would that be? Where exactly is it connected? Inlet or intercooler maybe?
Its located below the intake manifold and connects to the intake manifold right at the bottom front. It makes a 90 degree bend towards the rear of the engine (radiator side) and connects to the air compressor. Very easy to see from the top. Run your hand over the hose all the way around it from one end to the other and you might find a hole in it like I did. Mine was on the bottom of the hose right at the air compressor connection. 15 minute job to replace.
