Good morning Oregon friends!

Jim, Interesting about the batteries or battery! I have the same wireless air bag system on my truck and it works great! I also have the twist in stable loads!

Still trying to wrap my head around the battery issue (and the 'instant on' glow plugs - just ain't right to jump in a diesel -tractor or truck- and start it without waiting for glow plugs to heat up).

Can't believe the pickup was working so well with only one battery functioning in the system. I would have caught it myself had I not written the batteries off when I first looked under the hood. Didn't like the looks of them and used them for horse trading purposes with the dealer. I had every intention of replacing them as soon as I got some 'big ticket' items out of the way like the camper tie down brackets, dually swing out brackets, remote air, etc., etc..

I put the load lifter Ultimate 5000 with the Wireless Air System on the 96 F250 and love them. I'm leaving everything in place on the F250 as it still could / will haul the camper to Elk Camp when we go out of area to hunt.

I do not want to use the 350 dually up in the mountains here except as an absolute last resort. It's 4X4, but I don't want the fenders taking a beating from brush. If we were to take a trip to more open areas in Eastern Oregon hunting, that would be a different story and the dually would go with us.

This 11 F350 had bags under it when we bought it so all I had to do was install the wireless Air Kit. The bags that are under it are the Firestone Ride Rite 5000's. They were plumbed to shrader valves on either side of the rear license plate. Left those in place as a backup to the on board air. (On the F250 I had put the shrader valves in the wheel well so I didn't have to crawl under the camper to use them). I have no plans to move the ones already in place on the F350.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Took a big load of brush out to the burn pile at the ranch. Then ran into town to pickup groceries and the Wardens Rx. Spent too much time BS'n with mother and her part time care take. So the Walmart Pharmacy was closed when we got there.

Going to a Pancake Feed tomorrow morning at the Amity City Park so we'll go pick up her prescription after that.
