Hi Jason,
It might help a little to have a visual... Blue Machinist Dye will give you a picture.
I found a nice article that explains what you want to see.
Also created a PDF of the page below if it disappears at some time in the future...

Maybe a half a day sitting in the right seat - removing the existing Circuit Breakers (CB's) and cleaning the contacts, then adding a touch of Anti-Oxidation paste could solve a lot of problems.
These vehicles, driven by 18 year old youngsters that have no care about maintenance - might...

A couple of drops of MMO in the air hose feeding the wipers - and let it run for a while - could greatly improve wiper performance. Don't go off the deep end, just a few drops...

I know you don't want to, but now might be a good time to look at the fuel filter again. Maybe you "caught all the crap" that was sloshing around in the tank. Glad to hear she made it home without a hiccup! Nice looking vehicle...

Might have to eventually paint it black - but I love your GET OUT OF THE WAY that is mounted on the hood. Since you have a "Tipper" you must have something that will load that bed. That will be great up there in the cold where you are... And the weight in the back will help keep you from...

REME Depot is a local group that has a few parts and skills to help you along in your quest.
I agree with @patracy on the engine compartment.
It is a Royal Pain in the backside for sure!
Nice comparison to the other points he had too...
Though it IS an awful lot of fun once it is...
