I pushed the Dodge back to start working on the heads and there is a pile of rust where it was sitting. LOL!

Nah, you only need to worry about pushing if it is on a Dodge.

Guess I'm confused. Thought you pushed the dodge out of the way and rust was left under under it

I thought you were talking about Tom and his question on steel vs aluminum for the air tank.

The first time I read this, I figured the Dodge WAS the pile of rust.

Well I decided to call air lift and ask them what size tank the compressor could handle. Good thing I did, you cannot use a tank with the wireless system. I then called truck springs.com and asked the same. He also said that. So I am returning the wireless and getting a dual gauge setup with a tank that will be here wed or thur next week. Lesson learned....
