Wow, what a nice build!!

Nice job on that trailer. Do you have any more picts of it?

Not sure what you mean. Mine is waiting to be dismissed in KY.

Ok, let me save you some time. I contacted the factory where it is made in France. It is a rare part. Most are European trucks. No, the Steyr version won't work either. Totally different wiring. Do it your way and video it. I'll watch it.

No the date code indicate it was made last year. This is NOT surplus. This switch is used in other vehicles.

Who did you talk to at TC? Why would they have a full line of "expedition" boxes??

Not worth arguing. These are plastic and old. As in 20+ years in many cases. You must have lots of time. Spend your hours redoing it. I don't have the time. I will spend the $$ and in 15 minutes I'm back in action for another 20 years.

I'm not sure where you are getting your info. from, but once they are glued, they are brutes. Most designs, even some steel ones, have a pivoting frame to prevent excess torsion.

The turn signal stalk does not break. The internal components fail and short. My time is money. $200 for a component known to fail and leave you stranded with no lights on the highway in 11 lanes of traffic. No brainer.... By the way, don't forget the blackout circuits, dual voltages...

LOL obviously someone who know very little about these issues. The switch control wipers, washer, horn, headlights, flash to pass, and turn signals. Yeah, it will take you hours to figure out the wiring, even with the TM. Yeah, I looked at exactly what you suggest. Not practical. If you think...

$199 from Rome Truck Parts in Georgia. Buy it now or buy it later, but it will fail in time and it is a total PITA.

This picture speaks volumes....

No, the stalk on the steering column. It controls the horn, wipers, turn signals, and headlights.

Brake locked up. Small line to divider snapped.

What year is the truck? I carry these on truck: Mytee Products SAE J844 Air Brake Tubing 1/4" x 100' Black Trailer Nylon Line Hose DOT Approved Mytee Products SAE J844 Air Brake Tubing 3/8" x 100' Black Trailer Nylon Line Hose DOT Approved Mytee Products SAE J844 Air Brake Tubing 1/2" x 100'...

Don't worry about the air of hydraulic pump. It is a piece of crap anyway. Just make sure the manual pump works. I don't think you need a diesel mechanic as much as a heavy truck mechanic. Someone who can look at the the air brake system.

Lots of non-running GP vehicles get shipped. If it breaks and it's too much, just ship it and rent a car.

Honestly, there are a ton of things that will stop you in your tracks. Tires are a definite. New tires in front are a must. Doubt they will bulge before they shred. Find out what the date codes are on them. Plan on driving slow. I will add some things: Carry an extra turn signal. When mine...

Would be nice to see picts of your work : )
