NAPA carries air brake anti freeze. get a bottle and put in youre air tank. after you cycle the system a few time you shouldnt have any more problems.

also drain your tanks periodically. make sure you have a drain at the lowest point in your air system as well.

I have had this happen alot when I would drive the galant in the winter! I would just go out and start the car bout 20- 30 mins. before I left in the AM. My valves just wouldnt operate when they were real cold

i think i figured it out. I took a wash cloth and got it really hot with water, but didnt ring it out. i put it around my check valve for a few minutes. And then it worked. Must of had some ice buildup inside.

I have the same problem. I normally just tap on the valves with a screw driver or something, just enough to break up the ice inside. Be carefull tho using your valves when the have ice in them can ruin them very quick.

give it a Viagra! lol crank you truck and let it run for a lil while, if your valves are up front the motor could possibly warm them up. maybe? its worth a try cuz its free.
