Re: Project Family Chummins

So I got a chance to do a little tinkering with the truck tonight. Got the tail lights taken care of.

Man there is some scary wiring under the bed. Mainly for the brake controlers (one for regular hitch and one for gooseneck). The wiring includes household wiring and wiring nuts.

While I was under there I noticed the scrader valve for the air tank, filled up the air tank and the air bags work! No on board compressor, but no biggie.

Measured the exhaust, its 4"

Some of the 80's & 90's Caddy's had on board air compressors for their ride leveling suspension. Pretty small but should do the trick.

I put one on my old 66 El Camino to fill the supplemental air bags out back when I had to load it up.
