Air Dryer Alternative

Hi all, I have a 1991 A2 with the ABS sisten and all. I have the Haldex N50011F air dryer. It tends to stick open sometimes where the system blows down for the past couple years. I have been playing with it by cleaning and giving it its best shot at working. Are there any practical civilian or military replacements for this dryer? I would rather not invest the time and money to rebuild this valve if it is a flawed design. I was looking for something cost effective that does not involve me stopping every 5-50 miles to bump the valve. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Give this thread a quick look... The guy that started it, simp5782 is definitely "in the know" when it comes to air systems.

These are also available on ebay pretty cheap


The AD9 dryers are available from truck pro and are on sale for 150$ this month
Is the Haldex Da34110 more reliable than the original one? Is this a bit newer model? Thanks!

It's newer. Lots of people upgraded to them when they were flooded on the surplus market when the 5 tons were coming out as well and everyone had sticking purge units

Thank you again- Sounds like a good upgrade if they fixed the blowing valve trouble. My son got good at bumping ours with a wood dowell at roadside!

Next time just crack the wet tank valve a little bit so the compressor just runs and any excess water leaves the tank. This will keep the dryer from purging. Or remove the purge signal line from the dryer

Did open valve couple times when driving solo- Got the 340110 one referenced above on order tonight. Hope to get it in before snow falls!
