Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
ok will check it. The damage is from a chain wrench... That filter was pristine with only the crack in it yesterday. Only hand tight when installing the new one.... Thanks Ronmar!!So all the other damage was done taking it off? On the forward side of the filter where the hard line from the lift pump enters the filter, there is a T fitting. Hook up a 100PSI gauge there and check the base fuel pressure there. You may have a regulator issue or clogged return path to the tank. Should have 10 PSI when cranking, 20 PSI at idle ramping up to 60PSI by peak torque RPM(1400-1500RPM). Not sure how much pressure the lift pump is capable of generating, but too much is probably not too good for a sheetmetal skinned fuel filter…
I show how to hook up one in this video…
good to know. I am going to call them and maybe ill just send mine in for a rebuild. While I know I can do it, I have 62 thousand other things i'm doing and my time is running short...It's a good idea to replace or rebuild the compressor for sure. I can tell you that NAPA will not be able to get that compressor very quickly. It's an oddball and they will contact the supplier and they will find that it's "build to order" and you might be waiting a bit for one.
You could pull your compressor or find a used one from one of the surplus vendors and send it to Brake Systems Inc. My compressor went out due to lack of maintenance of the air system (dryer cartridge from '08 and they went above and beyond to get me fixed up - had to find a core compressor because my crankshaft snapped off and they found me one out of Texas:

Is this model pretty much a direct replacement for the OEM dryer? I’m relocating mine so mounting changes I’m not much concerned with but just making sure I don’t need anything else special for the air lines and voltage matches up.The 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.

EDIT: Well guess I’m a little confused about the OE unit not having power for a heater. I’ve been reading around and seems either these upgraded units are either plug and play or they need the plug swapped out from the old dryer. I know my A1 has an electrical connection going into the dryer. If not for a heater then what would that be for?.
Factory OEM doesn't have power for a heater in cold environments. Plumbing would be the same. Just remember "height" should be considered when you install.
Perfect thank you, Ronmar saving me some money I think.I rebuilt the one on M1083A1 and it had a heater in it…well at least that what it looked like to me.
Air Dryer
I want to upgrade air dryer on my 1994 M1083. I see one sold by Midwest Military Equipment for LMTV. Will that fit my truck?www.steelsoldiers.com
Look at #5, from Ronmar.

The one I used, pictured above, fit perfect and came with everything. EXCEPT it is 12v. I didn't have time to order and wait for a 24v unit. Yes, the original one has an electrical wire to. I always assumed it was for a heater but could be wrong. I could have even used the original mounting clamps but decided to use the included mount. It was only a few hundred bucks...Is this model pretty much a direct replacement for the OEM dryer?
