OK let me see if I got your question right. Your saying you shouldn't run a deuce without an air-dryer in extreme cold conditions, correct ? You can run it fine a long as your up on the maintenance. Of course if there is some water in the system then it will freeze and can cause a lack of...

That is why you are suppose to bleed out the brakes every two years. I don't believe in completely draining all the fluid, but a little bit out of each wheel cylinder (and master cylinder and air-packs) is perfectly fine. This keeps the water from pooling there.

What most people don't understand about the air-dryers desiccant is that it has a "shelf" life. It starts when it is first exposed to the atmosphere. You need to replace it every year if driven daily or the very least every three years even if it just sets. That is the major reason I went with...

I wouldn't do it. My old 1954 REO's had them but like I said you would be better served with a air-dryer. At the transit agency in the early 1990's we would run "ethylene alcohol" in some of the buses (those built in the 1970's that did not have air-dryers on them) . Then a few months later we...

The deuce doesn't need any air-line anti-freeze if you drain the tanks like the TM says to do. I would not add any "ethylene" based fluid in the air system period. In fact most all manufactures have totally gone away from air-line anti-freezes due to the caustic effects it has on the air valves...
