Like the title says '05 IH 9900i. New to me truck, never owned a class 8 before.
-Fuel/water separator is broken. Does that act as a prefilter as well as a water seperator? How important of a priority is it to fix?
Software- @rank in another thread suggested Insite as a good program to access trouble codes and the ECM. It was an older thread, is that still good advice?
5th wheel is set high. Do I just get lower risers at a wrecking yard? Are 5th wheel risers unique to the brand of 5th wheel?
Tools- More imperial than metric on a big truck? Or carry both?
Shop manuals- did they still have shop manuals and wiring diagrams on paper in '05?
Thanks

With Pspec, once you purchase the hardware that connects your laptop to the truck (mine is Nexiq, bought from a snap on tool truck) you can check codes, edit speed limiter parameters, edit cruise parameters, edit rear gear ratio and tire diameter, modify driver rewards, check engine hrs, check fuel used, sudden decels. You CAN'T do a cylinder cutout test or monitor injector flow.
EDIT: An internet connection is required to use Powerspec. Telephone tech support is awesomeLast edited: Feb 23, 2017

Oh BTW congrats on the truck. My neighbor had a '05 9900 with a Acert he bought new. He babied that thing and it was like new when he was driving through a construction zone and a wheel loader backed into him. Ins Co wrote it off and offered him $5k IIRC. He bought another 9900 '07 this time with an ISX. I told him he was nuts for buying an '07 but he's pretty sharp he'll get it figured out
