Good gracious! Those are some bold accusations, I would hope they're speculative! 😳 I don't know what Acela does but there are safe alternatives to get faster motion without the liability risk of losing everything. A quicker up travel could be accomplished by simply raising the pump pressure...

Is there an S at the end of the display? AP CID TER PSI S When you start the truck, does the controller check the pressure "1" under C in CID - that would indicate that the controller is checking the pressure. Follow the directions (manual posted above) for putting the system into setup mode...

Do you have a link to the Dana controller? I'm not familiar.

I'd ditch the whole system and do a manual pump - Ronmar has some good info posted. You're not using the suspension cylinders or the spare tire anymore so it's a lot of existing system/plumbing for the cab tilt. Unless you think you're going to be breaking down on the daily, the manual pump...

Agreed with the above. One tip to save some money and make things easier to service/replace in the future is to convert the 45° SAE fittings to 37° JIC.

That's a big filter, about 12" wide. After you add supports to the side, you're probably almost as wide as the spare tire...? I used (2) D100029's (10" wide) and even still, I put the filters above the cab roof seam to keep the box as close to the cab as possible.

Before you make any decisions, I think it would be a good idea to remove the upper rails and then go drive it offroad to see how much the frame flexes. Your spring system will have to accommodate the movement if you want to limit the the flex transferred into the habitat. My hunch is that...

You should find a t-case with 2:1 reduction and couple it with the ECO hubs! :eek:

I bought a bunch from Neil, the snowplow guy. You can get his email from his youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@NEILSWORLD

I love the ingenuity! 10/10

Do you have any pictures of the build, integrating the car part?

That's awesome!! I didn't even see the front of the car. I thought the "pod" windows were cool enough by themselves. 💯

The valve is supposed to mount to that 5 hole bracket. There's a procedure in the TM on how to set the tension. You'll need a pressure guage on one of the brake cans. Press the brake, check the pressure and adjust as needed. The predefined settings are based on each fmtv variant so you might...

Small crane or forklift rental, 4 casters, fab up a cart and call it done. After going up and down the steps 673x over a few weeks (months?) ripping out, insulating and reinstalling the interior, you'll hear me :D

Literally any car audio shop will install sound deadening at an hourly rate. Alternatively, take the cab off and cart it in the garage. It would be much easier to do all the work you speak of at ground level anyway.
