Thanks for the pic! I heard those lenses had the amber turn signal and wanted a real look at it.
14-15 psi is normal for a stock truck without a tune. Leak check is still a good idea as part of a general health check up.

Just installed Forscan on my phone today. Gonna see what that says in a few hrs time and I may post the logs in a different thread. Trying to read as much as i can about all the readings but some I am unsure if im reading the correct PID or not.

Welcome to FTE! I went down there for work a few years ago (Gold Coast, Melbourne) and I had a great time, great place, awesome folks to work with. Enjoyed driving on the wrong side of the road, although the turn signal stalk and wiper control stalk were reversed from what I was used to, so everyone else on the road just had to learn that a windsheild wash and wipe meant left turn, and high speed wipers meant right turn.
You mentioned a "3rd battery in tray", did this fit inside the engine bay, or stuffed somewhere else?

3rd battery in tray means in the bed as you guys would call it. We tend to call them trays over here. I don't think there would be any way to fit another one in the engine bay.
A mates F250 has one on the chassis rail inline with the rear door of his crew cab right side. Got more than enough room there for one. Thinking about relocating mine down to there

It's not just mirrored, there are some other minor differences, unless the '04 trucks over here got a slightly different dash. The lower center section is different. Where is your A/C condenser located? On ours it's where your master cylinder is located, and I don't see it behind your air filter box? Is that under the pass dash, hence no glovebox? Also, when it's convienent replace your upper rad hose with the ambulance package upper hose, it doesn't run thru the fan belt, making that whole mess easier.

Yeah I noticed that too and I will be getting one of them hoses. Yeah the evaporator is up behind the airbox.
Another thing I noticed today is that you guys have a single shick rear end where as ours seem to be all dual shock setups and thank you all for the warm welcome

I like the dual shock set up. Wish ours came that way. Thank you for the pictures of the inside. You have the same dash cover I have except the other way around. That's funny to me. God bless, really looks good!
