Added an electric 125db horn set. Not quite as loud as some of the air horns, but still loud and a nice compromise of ease of installation and price. Also, much better than the wussey stock Ford horn.

I'd like to put a train horn on the truck for those dumb@$$e$ that always seem to just barely miss the front corner of the truck when trailer is in tow as they cut in the lane in front of you!

Never fails that whenever I have the trailer hitched up . . . people always do that!

Add a heavy duty bumper so you can give them a love tap.

Replaced "Manifold" on my AirLift Air Bag system

Actually, while the Manifold died, I ended up replacing the Manifold, Air Compressor and Relay as AirLift decided to send me the whole kit.

It was a bit of a bear getting the old compressor off. Had to use a reciprocating saw to saw off the screws as the heads were too soft (stripped them) and too hard to get to. Then I had to drill 4 new holes in the frame (ugh).

But Kevin W and I got it done in South Texas this past weekend while it was sunny and we had a concrete pad to work on.

Just a thought. You can add the air lift automatic leveling system to your vehicle. I remember this from a past post.

Just looked it up - link.

I've had a full air suspension before. For that - I liked the automatic leveling with the ability to dump the air when needing to kneel the truck.

For air overloads for leveling under load, I think I'd prefer to have manual in-cab control.

What did you do to your TV today (2016)?

Last night on my way home from work I gave the truck a good bath!

It was so dirty from our recent snow storm that I got my clothes dirty every time I got in or out.

Oh . . . I filled up the gas tank at the Lone Tree, Colorado Costco . . . $1.49.9 per gallon!

Hope these prices stick or go lower next week when we head south to the AZ HOC Tucson Rodeo Rally!

Replaced the caliper brake lines with steel braided teflon coated lines on all four corners and flushed the system.

I put (6) LT 285/55/20 Toyo Terra Grappler 2 on the Dodge along with a set of chrome mayhem monster wheels. IMG_20160207_121852.jpgIMG_20160307_120947.jpg

I installed Firestone airbags and put a 2" lift on the front.

That looks good. Can you interchange the tires around the truck or are they stuck in the same position?

Just finished installing the AirLift LoadLIFTER5000 Ultimate with the WirelessAIR #72000. First time having an onboard compressor and the wireless controller works great.

To rotate them I have to rotate the tire off each wheel. The inside dual looks like the outside dual but black. Sounds like a pain but we don't drive this truck much. Mostly used to pull camper. That's the price we pay to have all the extras.Lol:cool:

Today was a busy day...first thing this morning I pulled the front wheels off the SD and replaced the OEM pads (64.5K miles) with premium ceramic ones.
Then after having drunk some yellow and blue kool-aid last week I bought and installed a pair of new front Bilstein Shocks. Evidently it's good I did as one of the OEM's wasn't holding up its corner...

Then after a lunch date with one of my bro-friends, I hung the Leer topper from the garage trusses and installed the Trifecta tonneau cover, dropped in the Pullrite hitch after inspection and lubrication and finally filled up the aux RDS fuel tank.
The SD is ready to roll...

Did you put in better shocks? Nice work.
