brake problem om my 816.

[madsam]

Has anyone else had problems with their brakes when it is cold and when the peddle is pushed, some valve seems to be dumping all the air? When I push the peddle, it seems to work for a while until the air pressure fades to 30psi. I can hear air escaping the whole time I press. I had this problem a while back, but is fixed itself when I drove to Denver and back. It seemed to appear when it got cold, so I was thinking there is maybe ice somewhere, but I don't know.

What do you think? Has any one else hit this who might live in the cold?

sounds like the water in your tanks is freezing, do you drain them often. just a though being it went away one time TIm

Drain your air tanks when you put your truck away after each use... Your brake system will thank you for it...

Well, I usually drain them after every use, but sometimes the truck is not sitting flat, so it might not drain correctly. I will look at that.
