So what is all involved in making this happen? Which scanner and how did you get this to appear on the truck screen? What was the cost for all the parts and pieces? Does the radio still work while this display is on the center truck screen? Is this a scanner (warranty still in place) or a tuner (never going to visit my dealer again)?

Very cool.

OBDLink MX Bluetooth connector. $80 Amazon
Torque Pro Android App. $8 Google store
7" Android tablet $70 Amazon
MyTouch Lockpick Air $429. Oemautopartsco.com or coastal tech
(Looks like they are out of stock)

I wanted stand alone that's why I did not use a phone. I also wanted to be able to stream content that's why I got the air model.
My main purpose for getting the air was for additional cameras, but then found the thread on torpue pro. It's in the 6.7 diesel section.

Ah yes...

How did you manage to make that happen?

Is that the Palmer Engineering Application?

How does that affect your ability to get to other touch functions like NAV, radio etc?

The Lockpick My Touch Air is an interface for the NAV/Radio. Everything still works. You have a remote that activates features of the Lockpick.

The app is Torque Pro through an Android Tablet "Screen Cast" to the Lockpick.
There is a great thread about Torque Pro.

I am putting together a comprehensive post about the total install. Work has been pretty busy as of late. Sheriff One - Down

Do you have a picture for how you routed the hoses? Looking at the website it seems that the hoses would need to be contained within the "hubcap".


Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this has been talked about in the previous 1300 posts. I know some of you tow some very large trailers. What psi are you running in the rears? My factory settings say 75 front and 60 rear for my dually. Is that what you guys are running (as in factory specs)? Or do you pump em up for the heavy trailers! It rides nicely with the 60 but wonder if 60 is up to the 5000lb payload? I ask because I tow a heavy dump trailer along with having 2-3000lb+ in the bed at times.

Opinions, facts, or insight?


Beautiful trucks by the way!

running 65 all around. But anything over about 4K begins to smash the rears so I air them up to 80 for that.

Never touch the front.

I have the snow plow prep. If I were to attach a plow then I would air up the fronts too.

Yea it's tough because the loads vary so much. I've got 65 right now in rear so maybe I'll put 70 in it.

I have such a hard time getting to the rear valve stems as in being able to unscrew them. I had tires replaced last year and the not so intelligent tire place mounted the rears in such a way you couldn't even access the rear valve stem. So removing the outside needed to happen and only found 50psi in the inner tire.

I run 65 all the way around with 3340 lbs on the truck, which is what is called for on my trucks door sticker. Because of the Trailair air bag and shock on the pin, I don't get a lot of bounce problem.


I may bump to 70 this year in the rears, just to try it out.

I have 3000lbs in my truck constantly so I run 70 in the rears and 60 in the fronts. My stock BFGs needed 75 for the weight I carry in the back. These Coopers seem to have a stronger sidewall.

Got a chance to get a load or two after the farm show of chip wood bark. Way too cheap to pass up.

Son and I each got a full load. $40 total for both.
