    I could have sworn I saw a suspension gauge in that new truck when I was climbing through. Especially the one you got cuz I remember ripping a real mean fart.....

    No suspension gauge. The gauge under the radio is a brake application gauge. But at least the seat belt is black and not safety orange. Trade offs I guess.

    Gotta love it when you notice your truck is struggling to maintain air pressure and then the tire inflation light on the trailer is now on.

    Pull off into a Whataburger with truck parking and go check the trailer tires. Found one that was pissing air so bad that the air tanks where drained in a matter of mintues with the truck off.

    Time for breakfast while I wait for road service to come out.

    Saw that video earlier. Did you ever drop that trailer?

    Here's an interesting fact about the 19s. If you lose enough air pressure to set off the warning light, the brake lights come on and stay on as long as the key is in the on position. They will stay on til the air pressure builds back up.

    Edit: Reason for such a massive air leak in the tire is failure of previous repair.
