Just a curious question, since I've never run into this problem - Since
the trucks are air over hydraulics, as opposed to air brakes, just how
much will a frozen line effect the braking? Certainly, since the parking
brake is mechanical, a frozen line will not lock up the brakes like with
a Maxi system, so the truck can still move.
I installed spring loaded air line valves (much cheaper than an air
dryer) and, always drain the air/ water when I stop the truck. I do get
some water from condensation, but never rusty water like I found when I
first got the truck several years ago. Unfortunately, even these valves
can freeze, and then the water doesn't drain very well.
