3. Air Dryer Under Truck (See photo 2)
The air dryer is an often-ignored critical truck
component. Because it is also a part of the emission
equipment that allows proper regeneration cycles, it is
vital to include this in your service maintenance upkeep.
It is recommended to service the air dryer with a minor
kit (o-rings and desiccant cartridge) a minimum of
once yearly. The photo shows a common location for
mounting under the truck frame, tucked out of the way. PHOTO 3
4. Torquing Spring Pinch Fasteners to 241ft/lbs
(See photo 3)
Check these fasteners for prevailing torque and bring up
to the recommended value when the truck is new, and
then check again after a couple of months in service.
Subsequent inspections should be performed and re-
torque intervals can be extended if items remain at the
posted values. Note: applies to M-2 Airliner rear suspension.

to the recommended value when the truck is new, and
then check again after a couple of months in service.
Subsequent inspections should be performed and re-
torque intervals can be extended if items remain at the
posted values. Note: applies to M-2 Airliner rear suspension.
