R model compressor govenor

[Paulie]

Bought truck and realized there was no air dryer on truck.  I can see where they disconnected the lines.  There is the main line that goes in and out. Then there’s a smaller line that runs up to air compressor but is disconnected.  Believe it goes to the air governor.  Does anyone have a picture of compressor and govenor so I can see how to connect.

when you say "can see where they disconnected the lines" are you referring to the lines to the air dryer which is no longer there ? the small (1/4 in ) line would go from the governor unloader port = center port between the two 5/16 mounting bolts  or same center port on flat side of governor to the air dryer (service port ). discharge from compressor to air dryer= air dryer to wet side of air tank.

and I always thought you went to this massive library of truck books in your shop.. secrets out now 😃, the fleets i had anything to do with. we always disconnected the heater to air dryer for the warm months. to some dialectic grease and covered the terminals . why run the element in 80 degrees

is the truck going to have a dryer installed ? I remember the AD9 . tall skinny; trying brain cell for the other AD number : 5 maybe = short squatty , another item that went to the cheaper to exchange then rebuild.

I only have around 100 books,  but its easier to go to the web while im in my jammie's, then go out to my shop and flip pages....   You'll know when I'm posting from my REAL book's...     jojo

AD-9 is the best... big,,, but the best....  IMO..

I like the AD-IP 

[mechohaulic]

baskin robbins had air dryers  that weren't worth crap. odd ball brand made of aluminum housing. didn't last long in new england salt/sand roads. changed them over to the AD-9's.

Onyx,,, is that the one with the bolt through the bottom that holds the filter in place? or is it the small one with the screw on filter?

poor sperring..

Large one with the big bolt and o rings 

[Onyx610]

And the purge valve held in with a large snap ring. Good for pinching your fingers and getting blood blisters

I can see where you would think that with a name like that lol. 

[mechohaulic]

got it now ; i didn't recognize the number , it's one of the later dryers

Air dryer lines are there. They put a 1/2 inch fitting and connected them together. The 1/4 line is disconnected at left on frame where air dryer was suppose to be.  Other end by compressor is also disconnected, not sure where to hook up. Your saying to run to 1/4 inch line to govenor?

I don’t like the AD-9 because of all those stupid rusty nuts/bolts you have to take off and the cartridge is usually tighter then hell to get off.

that's why it was cheaper to exchange  when time was concern. after it's all apart; install had those o-rings that leaked .
