brake question

[bigford]

I'm finishing up a project where I put some 5 ton axles and t-case under a non-mil truck, and I'm down to figuring out which master cylinder to use. I want to go with the 5 ton and air assist. My question is this: Do the 5 tons have an air dryer or filter on the air system? My doner truck didn't have any brake parts left on it.
Thanks.

I have yet to see an air dryer on Military Vehicles.

I have not been around the newer stuff but all the old stuff do not.

Im sure there is exceptions but i have not laid eyes on them.

A dryer is easy to mount up on any truck.

I think the A3 came with an air dryer, not sure if any of the 5 ton models had them. Either way I don't see any harm adopting either to one or the other. These are very flexible vehicles in regards to what can be done.

Thanks for the info. I suspected they didn't have any but had no way to verify. Probably put an auto drain on the tanks and be done with it.
Thanks again.

939 series 5ton trucks have auto driers and alcohol systems. you can install the alcohol system very easily to any of these old trucks.
