does cold weather cause air leaks or something, cause i have had no leakin whatsoever my truck would stay up for days but for some reason it keeps falling down. i guess it would be my tank losing pressure cause the whole truck falls. what do you guys think?

mine does the same thing. What kind of valves do you have? I don't no the answer to your question just heard that gcextreme valves suck(thats what i have),and i assumed thats why my truck lost air pressure.

Mine are blitzluft but its weird cause it just all of the sudden did this. i thought my switch box fell over or something but it didnt and my tank had no pressure. Damn minitrucks LOL, I guess ill figure it out on a warm day.

If your running push lock fittings and copper lines ,,,it will happen i know ,,,,the cold causes the copper to shrink and lets the seals leak down ,,,will stop as soon as it warms up

my truck did the same thing in the winter time.my truck would stay aired up when i parked it at night ,by mornig it would be sitting on the ground.i had the same valves as josh.

its the lose of pressure and in the cold air molecules shrink which cause a lose of pressure(howthingswork.com)

i have 1/2 inch smc's and they do that when its cold air looses density and gains it when its warm , thats y some times your tires when its cold look a lil flat and they say dont air them up you could put too much pressure and have a blow out !!

dude same shit here. summer everything stays up for weeks. inthe winter a few hours. smc valves pushlock fittings. try converting to those new swedgelock fittings. they are brass and have a hose barb inside instead of a sleeve. i used em on another truck and it never dropped once, even in the winter. i was running air ride tech valves in that. idk good luck bro

cold makes things shrink, heat will make them swell.... Way of life. Air is the same way. I used to air mine up all the way befor going in for the night.
