Known Items / Transparency
Title brand: Indiana REBUILT (clean in my name; no liens).
Glow plugs: Work, but currently disconnected (I removed the push button; intended to return control to key cycle).
Rear tank: Has a hole; in spite of that the pump still runs.
Brakes (post-swap): Truck has 2000 Excursion axle swap with updated driveshafts. RABS valve (old single-channel rear anti-lock for drums) is still in the system; with rear discs it restricts pressure and traps air, causing a soft/low pedal and weak rears.
Quick test: bleed the RABS bleeder to see improvement.
Best fix: bypass/delete RABS and run line master/combination valve → rear hose.
Body from 2018 bump: Driver front took a low-speed hit (~15 mph) while I was stopped; fender replaced, bumper support reinforced. Driver door has a crinkle and shuts hard.
Air bags (helper bags): Hold but leak down after a few days.
Tires: Fronts basically new; rears at end of life.
No fifth-wheel.
Bumper reinforcement: stout—it has pulled a combine header.
Extras / Mods
Banks turbo kit • GlowShift gauges (pod)
Power-steering cooler • LED headlights
Excursion axle swap (2000) with matching driveshaft updates
