Not sure how sage my advise will be, but there are in-line oilers that you can add to the air feed to the CAT transmission. And another dryer in that same line that you drain daily. Like you already know, that transmission wants (requires) clean dry air. I have recently seen that configuration on somebody's truck. I will try and find it and post you a picture and a little more information.



I found it! Wet in the air was the problem to be solved even though the truck is different. Maybe a read by you will see something that you hadn't thought about before now? Maybe?

I replaced the prehistoric AD5 with a Haldex Purest. It will fit in the factory location barely.

You can use an AD9 dryer in the factory spot exactly with original holes.

Do not put alcohol in that thing it will attack the rubber on the poppets.

You need a regulator that has a catch can for moisture and mister they run about $250 for both, maybe even add an extra tank so you have 2 wet tanks.

The AD-9 shown in Simp’s post is the exact same one I’ve been installing on a customer’s trucks I service....you can buy an entire unit for around $125 shipped on Amazon, and the bolt-together cartridge type is disposable. So you buy a new one cheaper than you can have one serviced for, just swap in new one and chuck the old one in the trash.

Thanks for the pointers guys. And good part numbers for the mister. Or air / water separator ? Sources to buy from. ? What oil did you use in the mister ? Marvel mystery oil, ATF ?
