Bjorn, technically it is a water and particulate filter, not a dryer. It is an auto-drain unit with full metal construction. It was also available with a clear lexan bowl, but the unit that originally came on the truck was all metal.

I won't worry about the ducting for now. That is the what was used in all of the 939 trucks I have seen with the fuel-burning heater and what was included in the fuel-burning heat kit I purchased earlier this year. The heat is very hot, but thankfully it goes into the metal diverter box first, which may knock a few degrees off of it. I'll have to take some measurements once I get it fired up again this winter.

The ducting, visible in this same image comes from the fuel burning heater, I presume and I'm wondering about the temp rating. It looks like neoprene type duct, which would be marginal, considering the discharge air temp of the heater (as if you didn't have enough to worry about already). My 8x8 TM specifies silicon rubber ducting (SCAT) for this application, which has twice the temp rating of the neoprene...
