Hey guys, sorry for the delay, I've been a bit busy this week.
My truck is an 18 bar system, and the compressor is always on.
Rostige, I've been seeing re manufactured units on ebay in the $150 range. There is a Bendix AD9 unit that, supposedly, doesn't require an additional tank. Unfortunatley, it's range ends at 150psi. Do you know what units are capable of handling 18bar? I bet those get up in price huh.
After examining my regulator a little closer this weekend, it appears that the discharge isnt completely smooth after all. It has two ribs that suggest is could except a hose with some type of clamp and then route it to the dryer's re-gen port.
Back to one of my original questions, can the dryer go between the compressor and the regulator?
I think I will proceed to have the air line built with a union at a point where I think a dryer unit could mount, then I can simply insert what ever unit I find down the road. I do need to know if anyone feels it shouldn't be plumbed between the compressor and the regulator.
Thanks guys -James
