Heading to Cummins Atlantic in Greensboro NC on Mon. I need the part number for the air dryer.
Thanks Bill Willett 97 U270.
Bill,
This from a previous post , Double check it but I think its right
Gary B
DA33100BX (Standard - Mounting Bracket Included) 2 pound canister
DA33100X (Standard) 2 pound canister
DA33200X (Standard for applications with Holset "E" type compressor) 2 pound canister
DA33240X (Standard for applications with " " " " ) 3 pound canister
DA33140X (Holset - Heavy Duty) 3 pound Canister
pricing ranges from $210 to $307.
Mine was a DA33100BX which as Gary indicates includes the mounting bracket. And without the B it doesn't include the mounting bracket. And MSRP is $513 plus core!!! I found a brand new one on Ebay with the bracket for $159 plus $33 shipping. If you can get the canister off, just get the rebuild kit!!!
Bill,
Here is a thread with re-manufactured air dryer part numbers, if you want the re-man'd air dryer (minus mounting bracket).

Thanks everyone,I would change it myself but I do not have all my big tools with me,so I will let Cummins change it for me.
Bill,
I just always buy the rebuild kit DQ6026 ($100 on Ebay). Except for the rubber strap wrench, everything else requires only hand tools.
There are also 2 rebuild kits, major and minor.
Desiccant powder in air system - anybody else with this experience? (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=18448.msg126847#msg126847)
Several members have had problems with the relief valve so it is worth the effort to replace it. Problem is, it likes to snap off when you go to remove the old one. Other have reported failures with the internal o-rings (causing mystery air leaks), so you would be wise to replace those periodically as well.
For just about the same cost of the 2 kits (depending on where you buy them), you can get the reman'd unit from places like NAPA which is like factory-new internals and cleaned up frame (`$264 after core charge). You will need to reuse the air line fittings and possibly part of the heater wire connection from the old unit, but it's a quick swap out (labor savings). And looking at the overall appearance of our old air dryer (original) when we did the swap out this year, we plan to alternate between rebuild kit and reman'd units from now on; either every other or every third air dryer service.
