Air Dryer Replacement. 2014 Kenworth W900L ISX 15 How to.

[@sunnyroadtrucker1717]

*Thanks for taking your time to make this video and helps us helpless poor owner operator truckers!*

[@pedrocubano69]

Thanks brother. I wish more truckers and diesel mechanics would talk more about these oil by-pass filtration systems and how they prolong the life of diesel truck engines and possibly improve fuel mileage. I don't think truck manufacturers (& maybe some mechanic shops) really want the word to get out because they want truckers to continue to spend thousands of dollars per year on oil changes and truck maintenance. I'm just trying to find out the real truth and do what's best for my business and bottom line and I want to encourage other truckers to do the same. Keep the videos coming! You are an inspiration and you keep it real!

This video helped me today thank you sammy . It sucked, it was cold and raining but i did it . I had the part delivered to the shipper i was at and did it myself.

[@bullcat6531]

Great job explaining that. Getting ready to replace mine.

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Sammy ordered the filter for mine. And going to get it changed soon. 99% of the air dryer issues, comes from that filter not being changed enough. Most drivers have no ideal it needs changing. Used to keep ours changed every 8 months. Never an issues with one. Other bunch that hauled with us each day. They had issues all the time. Asked them one time, if they every changed the filters out? NO its not a service item. Just replace the while deal. Same as rebuilding them. Cost a couple of $$ to rebuild the dryer. But 95% of the people only replace them. I used to keep a rebuild kit in the side box. Along with 2 pan cake gaskets. Love those Pancake gaskets.. Sure beats being stuck on the side of the road.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I usually keep a spare drier and filter in side box, never a rebuild kit though. I didn't know how to rebuild it. Thats about to change though :) Going to rebuild the old one and have a spare still on board. My last truck had me stuck one morning waking up, drier went out. I thought that wont happen again lol I've got to get an alternator too.

[@ernestproctor3023]

Hey Sammy yeah you talk to one of your videos about the stuff you carry in your truck as far as tools hose clamps zip ties Etc but yeah that would be a cool video to show actually what you got in your side box there again it goes back to the KZbinrs out here we would sure love to see what you got more so all there were both veterans out here on the road it'll definitely help out the newbies come in and start now on their Journey even if they are with a company stay safe out there brother peace out

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Great Idea, I need to clean out the side boxes and tidy them up, when I do that I'll make that video :)

[@tpjkgj]

Another free tip by the best!!! Thanks Sammy, stay safe!!

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

You to brother!! Just to let you know, I've been craving some of those candies/cookies you brought me. They were the best!!

[@tpjkgj]

Haha yeah Bro they something else, just let me know in advance when you be in the area and I'll hook you up

[@jeffhazelwood8810]

Keep making the good videos😊❤🎉

[@mattmoschkau84]

Thanks for the video! Not much info is available on the newer Bendix AD-IS air dryers. Mine is due for a cartridge replacement and purge valve... although after pricing those parts it may just be faster and easier to replace the assembly, especially since all the check valves and internals are so picky.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Yeah that was my take too. For the price of the whole piece it made sense to just do that and replace it all.

[@darronwalker3841]

Sammy I have a suggestion for the next video you make. How about one covering once you started as a carrier with your own authority and the difficulties if any you had being new and dealing with brokers. Example booking loads and the brokers who flat out said you was too new and the ones who gave you a chance. I know Tim from (life is good) sort of skirted over the topic but I would like to hear another perspective on the matter. Thanks in advance.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I'll see what I can do

[@pedrocubano69]

Thanks for all your videos. Super informative! Do you have any advice on by-pass oil filter systems? Are they worth the investment? Do they really save/add to the life of the diesel engines and keep you from changing your oil as often?

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I havent bought one yet, but yes, I'm sold on them. I'll go with Amsoil system when I get one. Especially for an emission engine, it will help keep soot levels down in there and help avoid carbon packing in my opinion. Plus you'll have a Dr. report on your engine health every oil analysis.

[@尺乇几丨卄]

So a couple things... my air dryer has always made a clatter/knocking noise when the compressor is running. I don’t know if that’s normal or should I be replacing it? Also I noticed the other day when I was looking underneath the truck... when the pressure release blew off it blows a lot of moisture out. I’m guessing it needs a filter? How much was that dryer?

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

yes change that filter once a year. But only get a bendix, they run about $80. They whole dryer assembly is around $500 i think. It's been a min since buying one

[@mr.reberdo6141]

Great video! Thanks

[@emiliopichardo591]

Hey dude, i hope your stay god! I have a problem with The 4 black regulators and I dont have air in The line, but if I quit The rugulators pass air, but I regulate The regulators and dont pass air! What kind of problem I have?

[@Papa_Yeti]

Sammy, thanks again for another awesome video!

[@halfmoon5022]

What is the big round tommy gun magazine looking thing that the dryer bolts into called?

[@sonny7733]

Great video my man. Keep up the good work love your content Peace

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Thanks bro!

[@dieseldog5779]

Hey man I got a question for you, I want to get into the industry but I won't go mega carrier route so where is a good place to start and get experience.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

who ever will hire you. All the big carriers aren't so bad. If it was me, I'd look into Melton. I know a few that are there and has been there and they all had good reviews.

[@Prolicker123]

How’s it going brother, just had to change mine out out on the Pete in April

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

Going good bro. Trying to get motivated to get back to work lol

[@05trucker55]

Good one bro thank you

[@badguy2419]

This was a good one

[@thereviewer4173]

You’re the man!

[@michaelgraves7482]

I hope you checked your air line from the compressor to the governor. If it has a hole in it, the spitter valve will keep releasing air. And actting like the filter is full (bad).

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

No leak in the line. I did roll under and listen while it cycled when it first acted up

[@frankdiii1223]

Great video. If you could also add in the cost of these parts that would be helpful. Thank you.

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I'll look and see what that cost me. I'm thinking $4something for it all.

[@frankdiii1223]

MakeCents Thank you. Stay safe out there.

[@jotegg1276]

So it was the governor that was bad.... the governor is what makes that purge valve open and close. Always check the cheaper part... a $30 governor or a $500-$600 air dyer... By the way.... a $40 purge valve kit is easier to replace.... 3 screws and it pops out, just a spring and a washer with a rubber seal behind it.

[@manuelsalgado8510]

My dryer is not purging, do you think it could be the governor?

[@ehhjeep]

$ save is $ earned! Keep it up N Ga. $$$

[@尺乇几丨卄]

Notes taken 😊📝

[@BIGBilly]

[@noninetofive1]

Is there anything you CAN'T fix??? What's next, inframe the ISX? You a bad boy!!!

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I grew up poor lol learn to fix it or it becomes useless :):) I remember being 16, diaphragm in fuel pump out my s10 went bad, leaving garbage in my carburetor .Dad said he'll come over that weekend to fix it. He got there and I done went and bought a carb rebuild kit, rebuilt it and he showed up like damn son. I said I had some ladies waiting on a ride :):)

[@NoName-jj4yi]

Man I did it was the original and the filter was stuck... like stuck stuck!!

[@MakeCentsTrucking]

I believe it lol
