Angry Air suspension pump not coming on

I am in Denver area. we had very low temperature (12-15 degrees). my air compressor would not turn on. same happened last year but when the temp went up above 25 all worked fine. I checked relay R5 in the engine bay, and fusible link FL9. swapped with other just to make sure. all doors were shut. Usually I can hear the pump turn on. I have not checked the connectors yet. I have larger tires so the truck sits on the tire can't move.

Is there a manual way to inflate the system just so I can move the Truck to a better sport?
Has anyone ordered on of these Pumps? (https://suncoreindustries.com/produc...ng-valve-block)

I know i could convert to Spring but that another conversation. but my challenge is just to move the Truck for the time being and take my time to fix this.

Thanks for your help

Can you not drive it on the bump stops? I don’t have Air on my D2, but my P38 has it, and you can drive it on the bump stops. Although it’s very rough.

unfortunately I have a larger tire not stock. I may be missing one side. I need to lift and see why its sitting on tire one side

This is what I carry with me for trail fixes for d2 and lr3 air sus. 6mm off valve, t junction, and schrader vale. You cut the line, and put it in similar to pictured (off valve to pump side). Disable your pump and isolate the bag by turning valve off and then you can inflate your bag with the schrader valve. After you can use a female to female connector to splice the line back together, or just turn the valve back to open.

good solution. Question, how do you pump? From a outside source? I should have done this long time ago. Thank you

the schrader valve on the right side of the T is the same as a tire valve or bike valve. So an air compressor or a bike pump would do it.

You dont happened to have part numbers for these parts.

The kit can be perminantly installed as well. I have one trail buddy that now runs it all the time and I will mod mine at some point just the same. The flow valve lets you isolate the bag from the pump/line in case of failure.
brass connectors brass connectors
plastic connectors plastic connectors
shrader valves shrader valves
t junction t junction

flow valve flow valve

My P38 needs a good 100psi to lift a corner so a bike pump would be tough, unless you jack the corner first.
