Thanks, That sound like fun!

It is a lot of work and $$$ to get the full setup for the LWS, but in the end it is worth it. I have a hard top that is in bad shape and needs some work, my plan is to cut a hole in it and add hatch to it.

Glad you got her going. Yes it does get hot, LOL, that is why in some of my 5tons I have a/c in them

Yes there are three filters to replace, the primary is on the right side under the motor to the right a little on the frame. Also the fuel line runs from the primary filter to the IP pump and that line sometimes is crushed.

Welcome form AZ.

You can reuse the clamps.

That is a fine looking hard top. One of my AC installs there was a pin that was pushed in and the fans would not come on.

Welcome from AZ, nice truck, but you need to paint it green, lol

LOL, Very nice!!

Very Nice find!! Should be a great project.

Is there a drain for the block on the 8.3 like on the NHC250?

That is a good plan to try. Pull the front flanges to get you home. To remove the axle you have to remove the spindle, brake drum and hub, that is a job to do at home. But if it is bound up you may have to do a field repair.

I will take 8.3 for $300, LOL The Tach cable on the NHC250 is on the driver side on the PT pump.

A quick fix is to rap some safety wire around the stop on the cable then around shutoff, that way you can push it back after you shut it down.

I would service the axle, repack the bearings. You do not want things to start to rust.

74M35A2, Nice upgrade!! I had a truck that the pickup tube was broken and would lose the prime and not idle that well.

That is what I was thinking, Thanks!

I think you may be right, but if the air system goes below 60 psi the spring brakes should come on. For the most part I never use the over ride.

Yes, always out. But if the truck has no air the spring brakes will come on no matter ware the override button is.
