And for those of you wondering about the air dryer I have for my engine driven air compressor..... this thing is big.....

Should provide nice clean air to the air bags, horn, and on-board air tools.... also looking at pneumatic wiper motors...

(Note the only reason I went with such an HD drying unit is due to the sole fact that everytime I drive the truck, I'll be forced to air-up the suspension
due to the fact that the truck is too big (tall) to fit in the garage otherwise..... daily air-ing up and down of the air suspension I figured
justified a dryer from a Freightliner Century Class semi........ (Oh and paying $15.00 for it isnt bad either... since their $300+ new and this one is
in perfect working order....)

Cool!! Where can I find one of those at a reasonable price? I plan on a similar suspension along with air ride seats in mine. I also need power steering since I have hydro-boost brakes. Part numbers would be a big help.
