Re: Air leak Reply #25 – March 29, 2019, 11:01:29 am Best answer is a FACTORY (as in the factory that made it) reman air dryer. That will have all new valves, heater as well as filters.Don't turn in the old one for core charge until the new one is installed. You will likely need to move some fittings from old to new.

Re: Air leak Reply #26 – March 29, 2019, 11:10:19 am I am trying to find the part number etc for the air dryer looking through beam alarm currently. Want to find one locally Quote Selected
Re: Air leak Reply #27 – March 29, 2019, 11:17:36 am Should be a label on the dryer as to manufacturer and series. And, in many cases, newer generation dryers from the same manufacturer have the same connection points.Find out what is in there and call that manufacturer for their advice on interchangeability. I know I did this with the Bendix dryer on our 1993 (went to a newer/easier to service model) that installed exactly the same as the original. Quote Selected 1 Likes

Re: Air leak Reply #29 – March 29, 2019, 11:25:54 am Best (most likely to have one in stock) source for factory reman dryer (whatever the model) is local NAPA store. If not in stock they can usually get it the next day on a rush order. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Air leak Reply #30 – March 29, 2019, 11:35:28 am If you find a rebuilt, make sure you remove any of the fittings from your old one as the rebuilt will probably come without any of the fittings installed. Also, read threads about the air dryer bypass kit you should put together and how to use it.Don Quote Selected 2 Likes
Re: Air leak Reply #31 – March 29, 2019, 12:31:01 pm FWIW the fittings are very hard to remove and come out best before the unit is unbolted from the frame. Quote Selected 4 Likes
