    OP is in AB. Isn't that Alberta Canada? If so that's why he stays in the cold.

    True but in my case I was not dumping air my suspension and brakes were just using the air.

    Hey, there's a really good reason why Florida is populated mostly by former northerners. 5 yrs of rocky mountain doubles across Wyoming 6 nights a week is what tripped that lever for me. I do venture into the north country in the summer though. Y'all can have it all in the winter!

    I sure hate it for him. Maybe he can take time off and fly down here for a few. I'm actually wearing shorts today. Real nice in the 70s!

    What I have to say to that would not show up on the forum anyway... :biggrin_25525:
    FL is about the only place that has not been smacked by this cold front, seem like February temps most everywhere else.

    That said, I have to find a air leak as well. All was fine, fired the truck up Saturday & noticed this morning(Monday) the rear air bags are down. Something leaked off somewhere... :banghead:

    With super cold temps, it could be any number of things as is mentioned. Valves simply don't work as intended when they reach a certain temp, add in a little frozen moisture and this situation is compounded. Nylon lines often crack at these lower temps, as well as sleeper and drive suspension bags can rupture.
