Somewhere there is a blockage in your air system you need to troubleshoot. Start taking lines off in the air supply path find the problem. If you need a part there are people in Ohio.

Don't take that too hard. Sometimes it seems like the world is almost designed to hit you like this. It happens to all of us.
Hope this problem of yours straightens out OK.

I'm not sure of the drill here. Sounds like a job for a Mod:

Pressure is being held in dryer... Air is barely coming out. I need to bypass the dryer or something. Apparently the tools I brought with me suck..
I gotta get this outta here or they'll tow it... I literally cannot afford a 1k tow bill...

You can get some fittings and temporarily bypass the air dryer.

Can someone get the connector dimensions for the input and output connection to and from the air dryer? Going to try and bypass but can't disconnect from body to bring it with me to parts store.

Should have driven through Winston-Salem and bought one of those $100 air driers I have 
(apparently you headed north to visit family) I can't be of much help here, but bypassing the air drier should require minimal fittings and just a little time. I do understand getting to a store with fittings may be the tough part though. Good luck getting it fixed.

Awesome.
If you have a mutimeter, you could check the voltage at one of the truck batteries and make sure it's not over 14 volts (truck running). Then maybe you can make a quick battery charger from a cigarette lighter connection and wire it to one of the truck batteries. Just for emergencies. The other option would be to stop at a Walmart and buy a portable cellphone battery charger. I would get a 10000mA or bigger. Should not be but around $30 to $40. It take about three hours to fully charge, but it may last you the whole trip.(cell charging only, about 5 times)
Good luck

Maybe its the tire valve. You can use some of the soapy water from the window wash bucket and splash on it. See if it bubbles.

For sure that is no fun for you.
But it wouldn't be much of an adventure to follow for the rest of us here on the thread if everything went off without a hitch.
Hope the trouble for you is minor.

Inner tube has a small hole in it at the seam.
I'll blame MN roads for that...
They put my spare on then patched the hole and aired it back up... But the tire I was driving on was in poor condition from being.. Well.. Driven on when flat... they suggested only using it as a very short term spare.
