Thanks.! Hope it helps someone.

Even after rolling around under the truck many times for various reasons, and laying eyes on the driver's side airpack on multiple occasions, I never noticed there was a SECOND one on the passenger side! It never clicked in my head..."Dual Circuit"! And not until reinstalling the driver's side...

After a thorough cleaning...mostly brake cleaner and a bristle brush, since I don't have a parts cleaner at the moment...all static o-rings and seals were lubricated with SIL-GLYDE Lubricating Compound, available from the local auto parts store. All moving surfaces and seals were lubricated...

Here's the leftovers from the kit...the "Mystery O-ring", and the lipped seal from the one-piece Upper Piston. I saved these, as well as all the used seals and springs, which were mostly in good shape. Might come in handy...never know when you might need that spare!
