Clay's IC boots came today, maybe tomorrow I can see what 'the old gray mare' will do. I'm also going to do the 'Travis IC leak test'. I moved the fuel tank but didn't install it and I moved the 5er tail gate to the mare. The UPS guy cracks me up, when he delivered the boots he asked me if I wanted a paper weigh? He knows I like 7.3's and he hands me a piston from his friends 02 that he blew up, LOL. He says that there are still law suits against Ford for the 6.0 that UPS bought.

Yep, those are the mule's airbag's. She isn't a old bag anymore, LOL. I'm going to put them on the mare, they are suppose to fit, I called Firestone and the dually and regular pickup call for the same bags.

I was wondering if you were gonna bag the Mare. With what you haul, you need them.

I'm throwing the idea of the 38gallon tank next year too Glenn. When I go to Pierre racing, I either have to carry a 5 gallon can or stop and fill up one tank before i can get home. It's just a little too far. We'll see, that would make the trip easier. Of course, I'd probably have to stop at the rest area then for a bathroom break on the way there anyway, too much coffee that time of the day!

I really like my aux 40 gallon tank, it fits perfect inbetween the tool box and hitch. At the pump, even a truck pump, I can turn it on full blast to fill. What i usually do is leave the rear tank full, run the front tank down to half and then flip the switch to fill up the front tank. When its full I turn off the pump and let it go down to half again. Then I'll turn it on and when its full again my tank is almost empty. Its a small pump and will fill just a little faster then I can use it. Then when the front tank is empty I start using the rear tank and look for a filling station. I can go over 600 miles between fillups but the fill up is going to be over $200, ouch. A 38 gallon tank would be nice though.
