This is an air dryer filter cartridge, a critical component in the vehicle's air brake system that removes moisture and contaminants from compressed air. It is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure effective purification, preventing corrosion and freezing within the air system unlike a saturated or damaged filter. A failing air dryer filter can lead to reduced braking performance, air leaks, and potential system freeze-ups in cold weather.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Never run an engine without a filter — even briefly causes abrasive damage. Pre-fill fuel filters with clean fuel before fitting to reduce prime time. Replace O-rings on filter housings every second service. Record change dates on filter housing.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early signs of a failing air dryer filter include excessive moisture in the air tanks or a continuous air leak from the dryer purge valve. If ignored, moisture can freeze in the brake lines during cold weather, causing brake malfunction, or lead to corrosion and damage to valves and actuators. This can compromise the entire air brake system's reliability.
Ensure the air system is fully depressurized before attempting to remove the old filter cartridge. Do not reuse the old O-ring seal; always install a new one with the replacement cartridge.
Check the air compressor output and the air tanks for any signs of excessive moisture or oil contamination when replacing the dryer filter.
