    So I’ve been in this hotel since Monday and no word of when my truck will be fixed; I haven’t been over there since I had to bring my own key to an entire international dealership, took my grandpa’s key chain off and hit the road lol from the few reviews I seen of them they’re apparently kinda ####ty, fixing things that weren’t requested for repair and then not fixing the problem... is that even legal?

    @singlescrewshaker

    When was the last time you serviced your air dryer?

    Small air lines, like rears suspension, trans, air horns always freeze first. Wipers too. But still can be just because its cold.

    Well it felt recent.. But now that you mention it, think it was March or April.? Lol :rolleyes: Bet that 2 months of sitting in humid FL done me in..

    Still waiting out this wreck on i80 west..

    I got some air line antifreeze, pulled the line at wiper motor.. It is a tiny air line. Blew it out. Think I poured some in.? Lol, almost need a eye dropper to get it in the line. Hooked it up & ran wipers. Then repeated a 2nd time..

    Then made an attempt to insulate the motor.. Beer coosy towel, & duct tape.. Lmao :D
    Maybe I should have kept that to myself..:rolleyes:
    Still haven't moved at road speed to see what happens..

    Idk, recommend yearly on air dryer. But someone that keeps system clean they can go much longer.

    More than likely just cold. I might try wd40 because of lubricant.

    I think its kinda funny that the guys I work with use me as a thermometer. I cut the sleeves out of all my t shirts and usually don't bother with a coat to walk to the scale house. Somehow they all figured out that roughly 25 degrees is where I start wearing a flannel over my t. 15 is a sweatshirt, then single digits and below is a carhart. They must've been really bored...

    Hence the reason I stick with my antiquated ad9. Really though, if you know the heater works, just change the cartridge every fall and save the money.
