    Are you talking about replacing/exchanging the entire dryer/governor assembly?

    Yeah, with it never been done it's an option. Nothin' like being froze up on the side of the road to make you re-evaluate.

    Not a bad idea I guess. You said it's not expensive, how much $ we talking about? She's going into the shop tomorrow to replace a broken leaf spring on the forward drive axle.

    I think around 150 - 200 bucks exchange. They take yours for core and give you a reman. Check it out.
     
    RogueX Thanks this.

    I bought a rebuilt wabco and they cost $275 before the core. If you buy just the filter they are around $75. That's what I was told but I did buy the reman dryer.
     
    RogueX Thanks this.

    Like Horse Whisperer said, about every two Years, any longer that filter is hard to get off.
