D2 Air shock leak when below Freezing

D2 Air shock leak when below Freezing
I am in Denver area. Some reason when Temperature is below Freezing my Truck is down and sits on the Tire (i have a little larger tire than stock)
Air Bag is fairly new. I checked both the hose connection when Temperature was decent, took out both the hoses from the Bag, cleaned and reconnected worked great for the last few weeks until the temp got close to 16 Degrees last night. I hear the pump runs but D2 stays down. Pump stops after a while.
Brainstorming
1. I am assuming the Bags are good because there is no leak with Normal Temp
2. Should I try to insulate the Pump and hoses are near the pump ?
3. My Challenge is I don't have whole lot of resources here in Denver.
4. I replaced the Pump in the past and worked well for 2 years now.
5. Could there be an issue with Valve?
Thank you in advance for anyone's suggestion or help

I don’t know about the D2 SLS, but my P38 EAS also drops when it gets cold. It will stay high for a couple of weeks when it’s warm. I used to think it was the air springs themselves (newish), but I’m more suspicious of the valve block (also rebuilt not that long ago) now. Because it’s perfect when warm, I’m not considering it to be a serious enough issue to worry about.

Reluctant to repair / replace a third leaking air bag, and dealing with wrong fittings from replacement bags, dumped them and went to metal coils. Surprisingly cheap used and simple to swap, ended the headache with nothing noticeable in the ride nor any additional actions to take care. A year after, have not deleted the original compressor, done anything to valves, pipes or related components. That was the end.
