What did you do to/with your second gen today?

[BlackMagnum2000]

Oh alright thanks.

Well driving the girl to ace hardware to pick up some more lump charcoal while I have a 50% off coupon. And to go get another sound bar from Wal-Mart for $35 since my dad wants one now.

Yup, manual transmission only thing.

My O/D light in the switch died so I put a bulb in the dash, upshift will light up when O/D is off. 94-97 trucks lower right hand side of the dash instrument cluster/surround.

I need all new ball joints. Mainly upper but I might as well do lower too.

What parts from RockAuto would I have to order? I want some decent ones.

Drove it 130 miles north to Cross City, FL. I had to stop at Oreillys to pick up a quart of oil on the way since it goes through a quart every 1K. A guy in the parking lot tried selling me his '96 2500, supposedly has locked 60s with 5.13s on 42s. He said it's all good except he blew the motor.

75mph for 60 miles damn I'm getting some bad vibrations. Tracks straight as an arrow though, practically drove itself. Sitting a little over 1/2 a tank. I guess I'll go to the tire shop when I get back.

Hunting this weekend and will get a little muddy so if anything interesting happens I'll snap some pictures.

Noticed my horn brackets aren't there and I only have 1 horn hanging by a zip tie to a rad hose. And it's packed full of stuff. Just thinking about getting dixie air horns from wolo I'd be one of the biggest A holes in a dodge truck next to the son of the local dodge place owner and his cummins.

Where are you going to put the compressor?

if I have enough wire, on the driver's side firewall or attach it to the wheel well any recommendations?

My recommendation is not to even bother. But that's just me lol.

Opinions are always nice since I have some stuff to learn. I originally thought some place towards the front of the truck like near the rad but, I would be afraid if I constrict the air tubes from the compressor to the horns

I've never had experience with them.
I know a lot of guys out their train horns underneath the truck.

I thought bout that too but, the horns are plastic and under the truck are where rocks and road salt are so it will be easy to crack them. And damage my compressor

Do the 2wds have a skid plate too?

I don't think so if they were mine wasn't equipped with one.

 

[BlackMagnum2000]

Well I'm sure you can find one and put the whole package above the skid plate
It also avoids you cluttering up your engine bay

 

[BBartow]

Don't even bother with a Dixie horn, no one makes a good one.

Well, I appreciate your opinion but, it's an opinion, me I like what I've seen on youtube.

Bump.

And my train horn compressor is in my toolbox. Great place for it. Keeps it out of the weather. Horns are where the rear tire used to be. Wish they were in the front somewhere though. I'll be upgrading to the horns that are in the Shocker kit someday with my setup. I want louder and they are LOUD.
