    Cab lift and spare tire cylinder replacement

    Eliminate the air/oil pump

    I went pure hydraulic about 3 years ago. No issues. I carry the hand pump, but it is not connected. I use a Haldex electric hydraulic pump. Have extra one for back up AND can connect the manual pump if all else fails. Carry extra hydraulic fluid.

    Niehoff N3030 Regulator/ M1078/ doesn't have flashing light capacity

    Haldex PUREst dryer failure - casting defect?

    Hard to see exactly what this is. Maybe a well placed dremel tool could clean up matting surfaces?
