Thought I'd start a thread for replacement of the cab on an MK48. Should match a HEMTT pretty closely as well. It's certainly going to be a bit challenging without a forklift and crane but I'm attempting using a 2 post lift and a homemade hoist I made from scrap metal. So far so good in removing the skid plate and skid frame. Now it's on to the various hoses and electrical connectors. I can tell there is going to be some rewiring needed since the new cab does not have the ABS warning lights, wiring, or contactors. That is surprising since the new cabs are MK48A1 versions. I think the reason the wiring is left out, is that the original ABS was retrofitted using long wire bundles that go through a hole in the cab and there are no quick disconnects. The holes for the ABS lights are there though. Will keep updates coming.
