    I’ve got the lines connected properly, I get a sharp clang almost like a bell when I hammer the drums.

    Who knows, but it doesn't matter if he can't get that landing gear broke loose. lol
    Although, since he now has pressure from the truck bags on it, some more from the trailer bags sure wouldn't be a bad thing.
     
    gentleroger and Mike2633 Thank this.

    If it sounds like a bell the brake drum is free.

    When trailers sit with no glad hands hooked up. It's a common scenario for moisture to get in the lines and freeze up.

    Example

    Local dirt haulers don't always have their pup trailers hooked up. Sometimes they gotta fight the trailer not airing up.

    We run sniffers on all our trucks, so it is a rare deal to hook up to a trailer with the air frozen, but landing gear and drums are extremely common, so far I have never ran across one that I couldn't break loose though.

    That's a wtf frozen mess. You need to heat all that mess up, tank, cans, chambers.

    Lmfao.

    Call your company and tell them to send a road service to heat all that mess up.
