Read the instructions! You have to remove the existing check valve on the inlet of the secondary tank and replace with the valve provided. IT MUST be able to take air from the secondary tank back to the drier on purge to regenerate the drier bed. If there is some part you don't understand, post your question and I will try to help. I don't like these external purge volume driers. Too easy to be installed wrong or for the valve to fail. Internal purge driers like the AD-2, AD-4 and AD-9 don't need external source of air volume to purge the drier and regenerate the drier bed.

Ok, did you place it where they tell you in the instructions? It needs to be after the wet tank, in the line to the secondary tank. The original check valve in the secondary tank HAS to be removed and replaced with the valve provided. Anything less and there will not be enough purge air to correctly regenerate the drier bed. This is one of the reasons I don't like external purge driers. Too easy to install wrong.

Either of these? Bendix AD-SP Meritor Air Drier

I can't help if you don't tell me what you put on! How often was it cycling BEFORE you changed the air drier? I suspect it was single check-protection valve and YES you do need it if you replace a AD-2 with an external purge volume drier. In many cases if the air drier can't keep the air free of moisture, it isn't the drier but air system problems (leaks) that keep the system compressing too much of the time.

Which AD did you install? No you most likely don't need a new air gov. You likely have either not installed the correct check valve after the A/D if it is the external purge volume type. You could also have other check valve problems causing your wet tank pressure to fall off too quickly/ Why did you change? What problem were you trying to address with a new drier?

Yeah, and the bolts to the head are out. What I was responding to was his question as to whether he needed both a T stat and shutters or would shutters alone be enough. That is what my answer pertained to. 10 deg difference between shutterstat and thermostat is what is callled for if the shutterstat is in the upper waterrail or top tank. For shutters that are controlled by the lower tank temp, the shutter stat should be the same as the engine thermostat setting. The idea is: the thermostat should be full open before the shutters start to open.

You really need both. It will not get to temp with just shutters, especially if you are not loading the engine hard.

Here is another with a torque chart for everything BUT the con rods???Bendix torque chart

The whole reason for a Lowboy is deck height. That is why you still see 12.25" brakes and axles. Pulled a whole lot of trailers with small brakes. There is only so small you can go with 16.5" brakes.

Those old LaCross, Martin etc low boys get passed around fairly quickly as they are hard to get parts to work on, too short and are all cracking/bowed frames.

Census is collected by: in person census takers, and MAILING to residence's. If you were visiting, you wouldn't have a mailing address. Your "shouldn't be counted" is based on your opinion, not what the law says. Census and voting are not connected. You can be a resident alien, have the right to work, live and own property and not the right to vote.

Vlad, here is the 501 manual. I think the 700 series is similar. It has the torque specs you were looking for. No Idea what to do with the one that was modified with bolts and shows sign of cracking? I wouldn't want to trust it. TF 501.pdf

That is not what the wording says. It says the Us shall hold a count of the population every 10 years. There is no "shouldn't" it is count of people. If you want something different, then start and fund another count. The one that is spelled out is a count of the population. You want a different count, I get that. Then create the law and provide the funds to do that.

Simply the census is NOT a count of citizens, it is a count of people, Citizens, and those that are not citizens, regardless of if they have a green card or not. That is what is spelled out in the constitution, a count of the number of people. If you want a count of only citizens then the constitution authorizing the count has to be changed, or make another law for a separate count.

I'd be interested in the reasons also.
