Do you mean the air dryer for the engine air compressor?  What engine do you have?  My coach has the Cummins ISM and it's mounted to the right of the air filter in the engine compartment.  It looks like a large diameter oil filter turned upside down, screwed on top of the dryer assembly.

That is your air dryer. It's a Haldex pure air plus. QD 6020 is the lower rebuild kit, QD 6026 is the filter(s) and upper kit. Depending on where you shop about a 170$ for both. If you are mechanically inclined it's an easy job.

If you buy a whole new unit, they will want a core. Make sure you hold onto your old one until the install is complete less you accidentally donate some fittings to NAPA.

The DQ6020 is the lower kit including the turbo saver. These are the prices that likely cause issues if not replaced now and then.

Yes, I was lucky could have been a show stopper turbo saver came out in pieces when I rebuilt the lower unit.

Most important is that it appears that you have an isolation valve on the air line in from the compressor.  Make sure that you either disassemble, clean, replace Orings or replace with a new one.

Probably do new/reman on unit and isolation valve. Will do annual maintenance from there. Probably will support the local napa dealer

I think you will find the isolation valve Is a Haldex KN 23500 N15842h if needed about 50-60 bucks last year or so. The new dryer will not come with the isolation valve. it's easy enough to clean it and replace the orings.

The nice thing about using NAPA is that, other than cleaning up your core, you can just hand your core to them and get your core charge back.

If you live in the deep south and want to watch the NAPA people computer-struggle, order on line and pick up at the store.
