Pressure protection valve opens the secondary side at 70 psi and supplies air to the wipers and horn and governor.
At 120psi the expello valve sneezes.
If the PPV fails, the sneeze never happens and you get pressure to 150psi at which point the pressure relief valve opens.
What i think...
If you want to play with gensets, and to also have a source of power when the electricity goes out, get a MEP802. You'll probably get additional gensets as well. It's as bad of a disease as the green trucks...
If you want seamless power with no fiddling and no thinking about it, a propane...
You're paying a lot of premium for the ability to comfortably cruise at hwy speeds for something that's primarily for "tooling around the lake and two track".
JMHO.
The two rectangular holes in the pipe on your bumper could be filled with a 1/2" steel flat plate to provide mounting surface for 5ton type tow bar attachment points. That's how I'd do it if I were using your bumper.
Here's a pic of the redtruck's rear bumper, made to be compatible with...
You should have two recessed flat plates on your RH bumper. Fab a bracket for your towbar to grab and bolt it here.
I've got a couple I fabbed. I'll post pics when I get home this evening
Bleed and inspect. Replace anything questionable.
These trucks have a single circuit system. Any leak or failure loses all your brakes. I've done it at highway speed. Once. It was more fun than anyone should be allowed to have....

I prefer the manual transmission in the 809 series to the 939's automatic. And that NH250 sounds a lot better than the 8.3 liter school bus engine in the M923A2...
If you go to sell those...
I've had bunches of trucks of each type.
8.3 gets better fuel mileage. My almost 40k wrecker with the 8.3 gets substantially better fuel efficiency than my 23k M925 with NH250.
8.3 holds speed better when already at hwy speed and hitting a hill.
Loaded heavy and slow, off road? NH250...
