5 seconds while sitting or driving.
Most likely normal if just sitting and probably not too unusual even when driving, pressure just isn't bleeding down real fast.

It takes about 5 seconds while moving. I can hear the air releasing from the solenoids as soon as i flip the switch but they seem to stay locked for about 5 seconds or so after word. I tried backing up, turning, forward it seems the same no matter what i try

I had no idea air lockers were water cooled...

Mine are well used and they come out straight away. See how they go for a while.

Depending on what you are doing at the time it shouldn't be a problem should it?

BTW if there is any wind up in the diff at all they might not unlock.

Well I changed my oil after breaking in my new gears and the lockers are getting a little faster now. I guess they just needed loosend up a little.
