A few folks have modified the battery box top to fit g31's. You can hack out the nubs that fit down to hold the 6TLs then just fiberglass a patch to fill the hole.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
You did for sure. I was just hoping the plywood would have worked. If you can believe this, a 4x4 piece of 3/4" plywood at Lowes was $49. Oh well, its just money...I did say they were not strictly plug and play. They do fit you need to align them between the boxs in the lid… the loser profile plate helps alot. I have 1/8 aluminum in mine…
I did put in both o-rings and lubed them with the provided grease. It leaks after it purges. Steady leak. Unloaded, i think? It has to be getting pressure in the can enough to unseat the valve. Both valves are doing it.Did you put an Oring in the groove on the new purge valve assembly? There is one on the old valve in your pic, but not on the new valve…
When the governor reaches set pressure, it unloads the compressor and sends system air pressure down to that little plastic line attached to the bottom of the governor. That air opens the purge valve and vents the system.
When is it leaking from the purge valve port? When filling, or when unloaded?
If it is leaking when unloaded, your leak may be the check valve at the top of the dryer, leaking air back into the dryer and out the open purge valve…
ok I removed that large nut on top and there is a metal/rubber disc with a spring. I cleaned it all out and no change. No kidding, the spring maybe has 10 grams of pressure. Its super thin and spongy. I then removed the sealing disc and replaced it with the original one and no change. Just about over this. I mean honestly, there isn't much to this thing... Its happening after the valve pops off...If it is doing it unloaded, it is probably leaking back thru the dryer outlet check valve in the upper dryer housing…
there is a large nut top center of the housing with an elbow screwed into it. If you disconnect the outlet hose from the elbow, and unscrew that large nut from the upper cover, you will find a check-valve disc under a spring which probably need cleaning or has a bad seal…
.Does anyone know if this will fit my 1083? Air Dryer For M35A3 & M939 w/ ABS? Found a deal if it works.... Not sure what the ABS means as I done have ABS...Thanks for the help..

Yeah those purest cartridges are good for 3yrs on the change intervalThe newer A1R trucks use the Haldex N50011H
The benefit is easier/faster servicing. The drawback is the cartridge price - it's about $100 a year.
Literally though - it takes like 15 minutes to service. Really convenient.
Interesting. I hadn't heard that specifically. I was under the impression they should be changed annually unless in a pretty dry environment. Pretty wet here in Oregon so I did mine at one year..... kinda hyper sensitive after the original cartridge from 2008 destroyed my compressor.Yeah those purest cartridges are good for 3yrs on the change interval
