Frozen air lines...??

I wouldn't wait until you know you have a load ... because you just might miss another one.

 

My advice would be just go get a new governor (buy two and carry one as a spare...its cheap insurance). While your at it you should change the air dryer cartridge. I change mine every fall no matter what. I would rather spend a couple extra bucks and be running then sitting on the road with a repair bill if I can't fix it.

 

Good idea. I carry all those things so that I'll never need them ... it's always the thing you don't have that you need.

 

I don't have experience...I just learned the hard way. Good luck getting unthawed. Let us know if you need anymore help.

 

I would probably just replace the whole air dryer,...It isn't much more money,....It seems the heating elements are made in china these days and prone to failure,....Might as well have the warranty with a new one...

 

You can try to take a propane torch and try to thaw the bottom of it. If there is ice in the hoses, you can try to take your hair drier along the lines to see if you can thaw it. Freightliner has the whole drier unit on sale for 149.95 in Monroe, MI - maybe you can find one locally?

You can take an air chuck, disconnect both ends of the hose and try to blow through it to see if it's blocked or not, also.

Good luck!
