Cant get it up..... to cold

So every day that it has droped below 32 degrees here, i cant get my truck to compress any air. why is this? can i fix it somehow. cant get it in my garage right now so its stuck out in the cold.

How is your commpressor ran into your tank?? Do you have a pressure switch and if so where is it located??

Frozen water in the system?

the compressor has a braided line going from the compressor to a check valve and then strait into the tank. its all mounted under the bed at the very back

use a blowdryer to warm it up so u can get it in the garage.

^^^^^like shaun said use blowdryer to warm up yer valves, they prob got a lil water in em and are froze up

I hate when i cant get it up

alot of times water or moisture can get past water traps or whatever you use. up here its almost imposible to go without them freezing. alot of times its frozen a selenoid shut and using the dryer on them will unlock things.

i love my cheap manual valves! no freezing here

I have had problems before with the pressure switch freezing and not turning on the compressors.

Use a hair dryer if you can!
