Re: Winter

IMO if your truck has air ride or your trying to make it look nice/show truck i wouldnt drive it at all in the winter i live in calgary and hell the drivers here are idiots so your best beat would be to buy a WINTER BEATER thats what i do and sell them after winter or keep it

and you might endup freezing your values anyways?

Re: Winter

iwould be running an interior car warmer into the back of my truck while it sits in the drive way so everything would stay semi warm, and would the compressors give off enough heat after starting them to keep it warm, its all going to be under cover, i know very little about air ride just so you know

Re: Winter

running a properly built air system in the winter is no problem...... even if you have valve freezing problems that can be overcome pretty easily..........depending on the type of valve of coarse...
