Jared follows the factory manual but highlights real gotchas: paint-clogged bolt holes needing re-tapping, hose routing challenges at full dump, forgetting bulkhead washers, and leak-checking before reassembly.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on installation experience from their own shop, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation evident in the transcript.
