I understand your frustration as all the diagrams show the air compressor line run straight to the air-dryer.
Like I said before, the Deuce has three air tanks. The first one inline has two chambers. One "wet" tank, and the other is a dry tank used to service the truck. Since the Deuce was never designed to use a air-dryer, you need to splice into the air line coming out of the "wet" tank, and install the air-dryer.
That "diagram" Bendix supplied is a "standard" example and does not reflect the environment we have here in the Pacific Northwest.
Anyone running an air-dryer in the Northwest really needs to install the air-dryer after the wet tank.
We have to much humidity. That is why when I worked at IHC the trucks and later when I worked at Metro on the buses, they have the air compressor run its line to the wet tank, then the air-dryer. On our older buses they had the air-compressor run straight to the air-dryer. They later added a small wet tank called the "ping" tank after the air-compressor as the air-dryers got full of gunk too fast due to our humidity.
