What are you looking to spend?
I mean anything under $3500-$4000 is basically done. You can get service life out of it but that's about it...
A $2,000 car is either half rust, or half in the scrap yard. That's how it is these days. Want a cheap car and have it be decent, then you need to but a car with a bad motor or tranny and fix it. Then you can hit a $2,000 car for about $1,000...

Hmmm ... looking at it again, that's what I see as well. I guess I just saw the door difference and got focused on that.

If you have any questions in the future, we are also available through the forum. Slightly longer response than a simple phone call, but I can help if you come across anything.
To answer your original question though, there isn't too much difference as far as holding air is concerned between steel and aluminum. I've always ran steel, but that's mostly due to lower costs. However, an aluminum tank would be cheaper to ship.
If it came to some form of an accident though, the steel would probably have a better chance of just denting versus the aluminum potentially ripping.

I got the right one ordered from one of your dealers so I should be good. Thanks for stopping by though........

Not much, my brother is coming over to help with the cab light covers since he is tall enough to reach them....and an oil change.. Then off to just north of ham lake to get some rev x from a dealer up there....
Sorry Chris don't remember you posting anything about an air solenoid. But then again I could have missed it. Already have the number and ordered the new one from an air lift dealer......

I am tempted to try the air solenoid myself.

I would be interested in seeing the solenoid setup you are talking about. If I don't head up to Mike's I might take you up on that. Do you have something for the old oil or should I bring a pail?

Hi Jay.
I'll let you know in the morning.
Getting the box off would be OK, but once it is off I am stuck without bolts to put the other one on. Dropped the ball on that one.......................
