Now explain to me how rubbing alcohol in the glad hands will free up a brake shoe frozen to the brake drum?

Methanol or anything else introduced to the air system of a truck is not desireable. I think some mfrs even void warranties? like Bendix or WABCO.
There is no excuse for not maintaining your air system with a properly functioning air dryer. You should not have to contaminate your air system with foreign substances. I drag my own platform but you D&H guys must all suffer the lowest denominator - the guy who's compressor is running 100% duty, his air dryer pops off every 20 seconds and he drains a gallon of water and oil out of his primary tank! I own my truck 15 years and have yet to get one drop out of my primary. And... check this Wolverine Engine Heaters if you have 120V these are the cat's nuts! An engine oil pan immersion type heater, a pad heater for the batteries and your immersion type coolant heater and you should be ready to lease on with Carlisle! Make sure to call Kevin he'll hook ya up right. |
Must be nice, My truck get a new dessicant every year and it still gets moisture on a day with high humidity. Has since the day it was new.

you should never use rubbing alcohol, it will dry up the seals and cause them to fail, get a bottle of air brake antifreeze, they have it at most truck stops, it has the proper lubricant in it |
I don't usually leave the alcohol in the lines. Once the ice melts I try to blow all the moisture out of the lines. Regular alcohol can dry rubber, but I have never had a problem with it. Once you get the moisture out of the lines you should not have any problem with them freezing unless your shoes freeze to the hub.

I don't know about u guys, but sometimes it's too cold to stay in the truck when it's sot down( In such cases I go and rent a room for a night. I hate cold places, and when I bought my first house it was really cold there, so I renovated all the central heating and replaced all radiators with ones that are more energy-efficient. You can check this radiator outlet to get the same ones.
