I have several welding supply places by me. All will do exchange but only one will fill a customers bottle. Very few welding supply places actually have the equipment to fill bottles. This is due to fire and safety issues and regulations. You may have to search for a fill station
They are slow trucks. Only 250 hp, 5 speed allison, gearing, and tall tires.
They are not the 400 or 500 hp trucks of today.
They do not drive like your car or light truck and they can not be driven that way.

Airflow is just as important for the condenser to function properly
The only real issue with changing the...
Pretrip before every run.
Full DOT inspection and brake adjustment once a year or before every major trip. Check all fluids.
This is for a truck that was just restored and everything was serviced, rebuilt, overhauled or replaced.
Also full inspection after any water crossing.

If you do not know what a caging bolt looks like or what the COLA test is you do not have the necessary training and knowledge to safely operate this vehicle.
You need to learn about this class of vehicle and how to do a pretrip inspection before you operate it.
