I was trying to figure out a way to run a bagged truck during the winter when its 12 degrees outside and snowing. I am only really worried about the valves getting stuck open or shut. I plan on running water traps to help. I have heard placing the valves near the exhaust will keep them warm. Anyone else have any ideas on what to do?

Also i may be looking for a dually in the future if you have one that you might want to get rid of bagged or not then message me.

Thanks

When I drove mine daily I used to wrap hand warmers around stuff in my bed that would freeze (compressor lines and fittings) and my valves are in my cab. Never had very many issues.

did your valves let out in the cab or did you have them ran out

Air brake antifreez, you get it at the truck stop store. Put your valve closer to the exhaust, run water traps.

Get some ABS antifreeze, it is for air brake systems on the big rigs. I used it on mine when I drove it for ONE winter. I put about one capfull in each tank and it helped to unfreeze the lines and to keep them dry. I will tell you that is the last winter I will drive it in. JIMMY

air brake antifreeze. drain air tanks daily. drain to remove condensation. water traps are a great idea.

oh yeah, and run silencer/flow controls. This will keep any moister out of the dump valves.
