Air Bags in the winter

[rojo_143]

How good is it to have air bags and use them on a daily basis in the winter? would i have to put a dryer somewhere in my airlines or what can somebody please help?

[xdraggerx]

You would have to put a water sperator in (air dryer). It would also be smart to put a bit of mac truck air brake anti freeze in your tank once a month. Bring the truck into a garage and letting things thaw out and move at a warmer tempature is a good idea.

I didn't know Jacksonville, FL had winter?

[rojo_143]

jacksonville does not have winter but i am in the navy and i am about to transfer to maine and i dont want to get rid of my truck.

Get rid of the bags if your going more north than I am!! Water traps and the likes arent going to stop the condensation and water buildup and once under 20 degrees out where ever it is, it will explode that piece. The bags themselves are fine, but the lines, traps, compressor etc will suffer some form of damage. The least you could do for no damage is to run them like air shocks. Just lines to the bags with valve stems and run them set and left where they are. The lines, compressor and other parts needed should be removed and emptied 100% and left open to breathe!

would it be possible to winterize the bags, blow out all condensation, and cap it?

[Old Man]

Thats basically what I was saying!!!

The safest bet is to just change to regular suspension setup for the mean time, maine has some nasty weather.

Salt will eat your truck up. Get a beater for winter.

[96BlkSLS]

Yes, salt is a nightmare. My '96 sonoma is my daily driver, and although I baby her to death, she is already starting to show small signs of rust on the drivers side. I need to find a winter beater so I can preserve my sonoma, you don't see many zq8's in Maine.
