Valves are backwards. 
Trace it back to the source. maybe it's been plugged or pinched.

Did it have a cover on it when you picked it up? Mud daubers (wasp like bee's) may have clogged it up. If you have them in AZ.
*edit* Just to satisfy my curiousity, you do know that some of theMil valves are backwards from the civy counterpart. (handle inline with the airline is closed)

I had the same problem, came on here and reported, and was told to look for dirt dobbers clogging up the holes too. Sure enough, there was mud in there. I got a screwdriver and scraped it out, and the air was just a flowing. I almost couldn't believe it, except a SSer was the source. Cool stuff.

Silly question, by valve do you mean the valve on the dash or at the glad hand?

at the glad hand----yes ---you are right about valves being backwards---but still no luck----I am going to remove air line from glad hand and check for air and if no luck I guess its under the truck I go and follow lines---glad I discovered this ahead of time

On the 915's, you have to apply the trailer air valve for service/emergency air to be supplied to the rear glad hands.

AND - It can't be applied while the spring brakes are set.
