Winter is coming
Yep it's winter time on they way guys, time to winterize those minis. For the daily drivers, air brake antifreeze is your friend. I have a whole gallon here at the house if you need this done. Or you can get it the cheapest at a total truck parts or peter-built. This will save your valves and checks from freezing on you and making you late for work. It also has a rust preventer in it to. For the rest of you it's time to get those battery tenders, staybil gas treatment, and wood blocks out. Have a safe winter guys and see everyone next year.

i work in a trailer repair shop and we highly advise not using airbrake antifreeze. it dries out the rubber found in valves.

we normally don't use anything. if you feel the need to use it, use it sparingly.

i never use air brake antifreeze in my winter storage. But not opposed to it either. I usually remove engine parts, suspension, or cut frame pieces to get it though winter haha.
