How long should it take to build air pressure in cold temps?

It has an electric heater where it exhausts. It took that long for it to warm up.
A trick to keep it from happening again.
When you park and shut down for the day, pump the brakes to get the compressor to activate. Then maybe ten psi before it cuts out, shut the truck off. Then the purge valve will be closed for the night.

But then don't forget to drain your tanks after you shut the engine down.

If you continue to have issues, you may need a new air governor.

4 degrees. They bled down to about 60psi. I'd say 3, maybe 4 minutes to kick out at 130psi at idle.
