Consumer Description

AIR DRYER ON 2008 ACTERRA TRUCKS. THE NEW SYSTEM ON THE ENGINE ALLOWS EXHAUST SOOT INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND THE AIR COMPRESSOR RECEIVES ITS AIR FROM THE BOTTOM SIDE ON THE INTAKE. THE PROBLEM IS THIS SOOT IS BUILDING IN THE PURGE VALVE ON THE AD9 AIR DRYER AND CAUSING AIR TO LEAK OUT OF BOTTOM OF DRYER. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON BOTH 2008 TRUCKS AND CAUSING PROBLEM WITH AIR PRESSURES. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO DEALER AND HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE IT UP WITH FREIGHTLINER. *TR
