I normally get in and go. In the winter I'lll let it run a couple
minutes while I scrape the ice & snow off. In a deep freeze I'll give
it 5 minutes or more.

Shouldn't be happening. Make sure your valves are good (they can be
replaced cheap, parts & tool at any car parts store, under $5). Make
sure it's also not because of air temperature; every 10 degrees F the
tem drops, your air pressure will drop 1 PSI.

That's the maximum *rated* pressure. Run that pressure all the time and
you're overinflated. Your Dak should have a small leaflet in the packet
with the owner's manual listing tire sizes & recommended pressure.

They think a truck is an easy kill.
