I need the 1078 one, but I found a nos window for a 1081 that i was hoping would fit.
My glass guy said he can’t cut a new one because there is a slight curve in it. Best he could do is lexan or poly.
Does anyone know if the side light windows ((#6) are interchangeable between the 1078 and 1081 air drop? The part numbers are different, but they look the same in the manual and pictures I’ve seen. I need a new one for my 1078.
Start inhibit just prevents the fuel s/o valve from opening
no air is required to start
you need to change all the relays out with new, as well as replace cb’s with standard auto fuses
Scott Dewitt is the fellas name. Not sure if he’s a member here or not, I found him on the fb page.
Is there a video or instructional blog on how to change these things? Change them with cab up, or down?

There is a gentleman either on here or the fb page that is selling poly ones. I will find his name and post if you’re interested. They are currently in production so you have to get on a list. All of mine are shot also.
So what is my next course of action? The coolant is definitely frothy. Was thinking drain and fill with water and a few cups of purple power to clean things out, then drain and fill again with water, then drain and fill with 50/50 anti freeze.
I also spoke with the previous owner today about this issue. He said he had tried to change the thermostat, but had abandoned the project when he couldn’t find one to replace it with. He said he also got oil in the cooling system from the transmission cooling lines that run through the...
Finally got some more time to trouble shoot today.
first thing I did was drain about three quarts of oil out to look for water. Did not see any.
Next i I used the radiator pressure tester and pumped the system up the 15psi. The pressure held pretty good this time. I then tilted the cab and...
All excellent ideas. Will give it another go tomorrow using the recommended techniques. I’m a little leary of continually pumping coolant into the engine while running around with soapy water looking for air leaks though.
Was also told the water pump gasket likes to leak allowing air to enter...
Let coolant stand overnight, but I don’t see any discernible oil in it.
Today i rented a pressure tester and pressurized the cooling system to 15psi. It does not hold pressure, and slowly decreases to zero over a ten minute period.
No visible coolant was leaking from hoses or block or...
Yes, that is what he says in the video. Fuel pressure is 100psi while running, so fuel moves into the coolant. When shut down, coolant is 15psi still, so can cross the other direction, although this is more rare.
I definitely don’t smell diesel though. I’m thinking it is oil. Been reading lots...

Found this adept ape video of a failed injector cup getting diesel in the coolant. My coolant doesn’t smell like diesel though. ..not yet anyway. I drained some anti freeze into a bottle and will wait for things to settle out.
Will check the trans dipstick tomorrow to see where we are. I haven’t checked that yet.
I believe I checked the eng oil level correctly, it was cold both times. I haven’t been driving the truck because it won’t pass inspection because of a busted windshield. Now I’m actually afraid to drive it...
