Learned she has Super 60 front axle (that was a given) and drop-out style DS110 rear axle (bonus!!). Dual oil filters mounted on the frame rail. Alternating orange and red (LED) safety beacons. Small red botton on the dash, that allows removal of the ignition key in Park with engine running.

Today, I finally got to spend some time setting the truck up (transferring things from my 05 Excursion), inventorying the utility bed storage (I have added nothing; all came with the rig) and documenting the camper.

And the camper
And a couple antennas in the cab that I need to figure out.

Looking for a fleet truck for my company, I checked the inventory of a dealer an hour north of Seattle. BAM, there she was, just sitting there, looking for the right home. Dealer bought her from an auction somewhere near Riverside, CA.

After some evaluating, appears the winch motor has a short. Believe it has been sitting too long in crappy sea air area. Found replacement motor for less than $350.
Onan Cummins generator being serviced by Cummins NW in the morning. Want to be sure it is running correctly and reliable.

It needs a dialed in suspension package, it is probably way too stiff to work offroad. Carli?

She rides like a dream, perfectly balanced and smooth with the camper weight. Considering a small lift, but not this season. Want to enjoy it while the PNW isn't raining, then do some work in the Winter.
