I let my truck parked outside last night, and it was below freezing. Is it possible for the compressors, valves, lines,or bags to freeze up? Im running the compressors and when i hit the switches only about 40 psi will run to the bags. Is it possibe that somethings may be frozen up? Thanks a lot guys.

i assume if condensation was in the lines it could be possible

Splice in a moisture trap somewhere in the lines if you are really worried about it.

The bags will not be affected by the cold. They're similar material to tires so that should tell you something there. If you don't have a water trap I'm sure everyone will suggest you get one as well as a drain on your tank if you don't have one of those also. The compressor (assuming you have an electric one) and valves are the only concern. I have my front valves in my engine comparement so they eventually warm up but my back valves always seem sticky in cold weather. Thats why I garage it.

go to a truck stop and pick up some air line antifreeze and pour it in...

break out the hair dryers. I've used them on things before like frozen fuel lines and stuff. frozen things are never fun. but yeah i would get some moisture traps and make sure you keep them drained out. no use haveing a trap that is full and frozen.
