    Sorry I don't remember exactly, but it was less than a complete replacement.

    I haven't had any problems since rebuilding mine; well worth the effort.

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    When I rebuilt mine I used electronics cleaner (in the spray can) and lots of long-reach Q-tips (as well as pipe cleaners), it's been working perfectly for well over a year now.

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    Spin on the top Spin-On Dessicant filter Cartridge finger-tight, then slide the air dryer housing into its mounting bracket on the truck. Snug up the 7/16" clamping nut/bolt with a deep-well socket, then insert & tighten the lower mounting bolt (use a 9/16" socket). Tighten the band clamp with...

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    USE THE SUPPLIED GREASE TO LUBRICATE ALL O-RINGS BEFORE INSTALLATION! I started reassembly with the Outlet Check Valve. Make sure the rubber side of the Seal Assembly is facing down towards the air dryer housing. I found it easier to hold the Outlet Check Valve assembly with the Seal Assembly...

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    This is how my air dryer looked after removing it from the truck. The spin-on dessicant filter on the top of the air dryer body was loosened in place, and once off the truck I removed the spin-on cartridge. I was surprised by the amount of crud & corrosion present, so just because a vehicle...

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    REMOVAL FROM TRUCK: Please make sure ALL air drain valves are opened to completely evacuate all air pressure from the system. As Floridianson stated above, it helps to loosen the spin-on dessicant filter before removing the air dryer from its mounting bracket. I also removed the bottom drain...

    M923a2 Air Dryer rebuild

    I recently rebuilt the air dryer on my M931A2; it underwent a total rebuild in 2005, but sat with little use until I picked her up in February, with 800 miles on the odometer. I used the upper (DQ6026) and lower (DQ6020) rebuild kits. The instructions included in the 6026 kit are pretty good...
