A friend of mine has one on his Cummins and swears by it for towing his fiver. They do beat the heck out of trans brakes. I wish they made a Jake setup for the 5.9 :naughty:

They make a compression brake called a load leash, looks cool but I only haul my camper but if I upgrade to a bigger one I might go that route

I painted my rear hubs as well as the hole that’s in the front hub.

I’m doing this because I’m going to be putting Alcoa wheels on the truck, and I want to leave the hubs exposed and use hug a lug nut covers.

Not sure if I’ll like it, but I can always put the Dodge hubcaps on if I don’t.

I also pulled the generator out and fired it up too, in case the zombies come. [emoji23]

Truck shut right down while driving. Low speed, & had just took a left from a light. So I whipped it into a parking lot. Did the (turn key 3 times) thing to get the code. Was P 0068. TPS or MAP sensor. I was able to start truck & limp it home. As long as I didn't give it much gas I was ok. To much & it'd die out again. Made it home, got both sensors with intension to change TPS first & that indeed was the problem. Soon as I started truck, light was gone. Runs great again. 0a50455fc8380306ab9c9ca456c490bf.jpg

I pulled the steering wheel and replaced my clock spring, cleaned out the multi-function switch and everything else in the steering column.

I now have cruise control back! I'm working through my dummy lights.

Got Seat belt, low washer and lamp out left.

Installed the Geno's grab handle kit a few days ago; worth it. They don't even wiggle a little bit now.

I was just looking at those last night.
It's sitting in my cart. Along with a new seat foam.
And a replacement single guage A-pillar.

Decisions decisions...
I finally pulled the trigger and wish I had sooner lol...I had originally wanted to wait til after I installed the A pillar gauge (I got a new A pillar cheaper elsewhere a couple years ago). Thing is I installed it a couple years ago....best laid plans lol

I want to pull my A and B pillars and paint them Dark Slate to match the rest of the interior.
Or maybe even wrap em with dark grey suede and do the headliner to match.

*Shrug* it was warm enough yesterday, but it was also blowing 40 MPH of dust and pollen everywhere.
