Purpose of using EXK160648SC:

Compressed air from the compressor enters the air dryer.

Inside, the air passes through a desiccant material (like silica gel) which absorbs moisture.

The dryer also includes a filter to remove oil and particles.

When the compressor unloads, the dryer purges the collected moisture and contaminants.

Some air dryers have a heater to prevent freezing in cold climates.


Signs of a Bad Air Dryer EXK160648SC:

  • Continuous or Frequent Purging
    If the air dryer purges more often than usual or continuously, it may indicate a problem with the purge valve or desiccant cartridge.

  • Air Leaks or Hissing Sounds
    Persistent hissing or air leaks from the air dryer suggest issues with the purge valve or seals.

  • Excessive Moisture in Air Tanks
    Finding water or oil when draining the air tanks indicates the air dryer isn't effectively removing moisture.

  • Corrosion Around Air Lines and Fittings
    Visible rust or corrosion near air lines and fittings can result from excess moisture in the system.

  • Unusual Odors
    Foul or burnt smells from the air system may point to a clogged or worn-out desiccant filter. 

  • Air Dryer Warning Light
    If your truck has an air dryer warning light on the dashboard, it indicates a malfunction that requires attention.
