    if its was frozen and needed the antifreeze it isn't getting rid of the moisture, change the dessicant cartridge.

    bought this truck few months ago, had no water in the tanks through whole summer,

    maybe the air dryer wasnt "serviced" at all up to this point

    will see for how long will it last :biggrin_25525:

    I'm cheap and lazy. I'd just swap out the whole thing for an aftermarket $150-$200. The Bendix is nice if you wanted to service it:

    [h=1]Bendix AD-9 Air Dryers[/h] [h=2]Extended Maintenance Intervals[/h] Bendix AD-9 air dryers have a large capacity desiccant cartridge that allows for longer maintenance intervals. Air dryer rebuilds can be stretched to every 36 months when the AD-9 is installed on a typical over-the-road truck or tractor.
    [h=2]Easy To Service[/h] Desiccant cartridge replacement is the only reason to ever completely disassemble the Bendix AD-9 air dryer. The check valve, turbo cut-off valve, heater, and purge valve assembly can all be serviced without disassembling the air dryer.
