So, Frank here is an update we've been meaning to post but are just buried with work and projects so we are way behind. Covid shut our mobile entertainment business down and most of the components of the business are stacked to the rafters in every available closet or room. so we are playing...

After many hours on the web and phone yesterday Soldier A finally got all the way to Bendix tech and support guys. Awesome guys and very informative. Not going to post all they had to say because contacting an attorney was suggested. What they did confirm is our air dryer is a Bendix AD-9 knock...

So, Soldier A stayed up almost the whole night (OCD is raging) and can't fins the diagram that shows where the little spring and black bulb go. Any guesses fellas?

No code words. Jblm= joint base Lewis McCord. Mwm= Midwest Military. Tukwila, WA home of GAS contracted caterpillar dealer service center

She's probably just going to go to the cat dealer in Tukwila that is doing the striker rebuild contract for jblm they want to put hands on her and are not mwm fans at all previous bad experiences

Looks like we may sell Matilda my bobbed deuce and maybe even Tiffany the dragon wagon and become an lmtv only family

Ok Rick, the compressor is building air quick and solid. We're not going to drive the truck again until the air dryer is cleaned up like brand new and the new cartridge is installed. Soldier A wants to pull it apart after a week or two and check it again

OK Gentlemen, here is tonight's bedtime story. MR OCD started the day with a couple of rounds of the purple degreaser, followed by a good soap wash of the area, and finally a good blow dry. No wondering minds here lol We ended up having to take the entire thing out to remove the cartridge...

So, Rick the link you provided here matches the cartridge sold by midwest for $176 to a T pretty sure that's what we need. However, Soldier A's OCD being as bad as it is he wants to take the canister off and see for himself first hand.

We're hoping so

So, Ladies & Gentlemen this is the air dryer unit I have on my truck. When we stopped in Laramie, WY on the way home a very nice and knowledgeable Laramie police officer pulled up next to the truck when he saw the cab up. He has had the same truck for 3 years and was kind of a 1078 guru. He told...

Rick, You are too cool thank you so much. We want to make sure that's right so tomorrow I'll take a picture and post it. Basically it's a big black smooth cylinder with what looks like an aluminum base and lots of bolts to hold it together. As always thanks K

It has the newer air dryer. just need the new filters I think

I should have also explained why the truck is going to Caterpillar. We want every thing rubber replaced. Also a good check up / tune up. This truck is going to be a critical part of our lives for at least the next 3 years.

OK, we are home Rick and your suggestion is first thing on the agenda. Thank you sir. We have tools coming out of our ears, soldier A is a tool junkie. We need to source a new drier cartridge and find the instructions on how to perform the procedure. Our biggest problem now that we are in fact...

Moved another 300 miles toward home after buying an extension cord and heat gun. Hubby spent about half an hour heating up the entire air system at some point the truck started building air and we were on our way a few moments later. He says all valves will be serviced or replaced when we get...

During the truck recovery from Missouri stuck in Twin Falls Idaho very cold here this morning and the air tanks won't pop up to release brakes anybody know what to do. Please we're trying to get home
