Some of the things I've done to the truck so far:
Six new tires on trailer, I got two to go, there about 30 percent though so it's not a rush.
Air Weigh Scale, I just now got it calibrated about two loads ago but it seems like it was worth it, we'll see.

New: shocks, exhaust Y pipe, fuel lines, water temp gauge ( I thought I broke it when I was trying to replace the lite and the lite fell into the gauge, but I think now that it was already screwed up, at least that's what I'm telling everyone ), new lite grommets for some of the gauges.

The things I'm working on getting done in the near future as money allows: New power steering fluid lines, rad flush, fill, thermostat and new fluid lines. Steam clean the entire underside and look to see what air lines I want to replace. Fix the differential temp gauges. Transmission fluid lines replaced as well. Now keep in mind not all this stuff is bad I'm doing for my maintenance file and so I know what I got.

Other things for the truck: Power inverter. (I need help with this one because I'm going to start pricing them out, I got an estimate on the labor but I'm wandering what a good inverter is for the money.) Espar heater and maybe something for A/C.

Things I need for the trailer: Another tool box for the other side in between the spreads. Aluminum wheels. Tire inflation system, dunnage rack. I'm forgetting a lot here but the list grows every day I swear.

Once I have truck mechanically where I want it then I can work on the cool stuff, paint job, chrome, some of those naked woman mudflaps! :thumbsup: :lol: etc....

Feel free to add to the list or whatever other thoughts you guys might have....

OK, I'll contribute a question, Rosty. Are you using your own authority or are you leased to a company? Sorry if you've already told us in another post and I missed it.

That's not the first time I've heard that actually, I wonder if it's because of my constant :moon: ing all the time? At 38 yrs old it's certainly not the high school butt I used to have. :hellno:

Thanks G.
I finally got back in the forum and last night when I checked the board all I saw was my name as the last poster for like 5 or six threads, and I thought "gee wizz I finally get a chance to talk and no one is around to hear it", or see it as the case may be.
