Default My XB hates the cold

Anybody else having issues with the cold weather?

My air suspension is acting up huge. Tonight, I went to visit a client, they have a steep driveway. I was in the house for 15 minutes, the front air bags leaked out most of their air, then the compressor refused to run, and I almost had to rip off the front bumper getting out the driveway.

Needless to say, car is parked till it warms up... Coilovers in spring, here we come.

That sucks big time.

Your problem is going to be due to the air cooling off and basiclly shrinking. This happens to all of my trucks over night as well. When my drivers arrive in the morning they will have lost a great deal of there air presure over night.

There's not going to be much you can due to combat this problem.

Good luck!

I understand the air shrinking in the cold... unfortunately, my compressor is too weak to do anything. Time for an upgrade, or coilovers. I really want 2 compressors and another tank.

we will see what happens, guess i just gotta drive my dually f350 for a while
