    ya, that's what I meant. That's what happens when you post wile tired.

    I thought it was odd not to have it. Usually most all truck have the ps, now the driver side is more of an option and not really needed much anyways

    You know, I think of it from the other angle, if you are already getting it equipped with a passenger side PM and PW, it can't cost that much more to add it to the driver's side. Especially if you don't have an EZ Pass (or I Pass or PP Plus), and have to crank down your window and then hurriedly crank it back up (while trying to grab gears).

    PS gazoo, got a dump valve by any chance? I know having one definitely saved my tired ##### one night.

    Are you referring to the rear air bags? If so, then yes and how did it save your arse?

    It might have got him under a low bridge.

    I pulled under a heavy trailer that had been parked (by a yard jockey) with the landing gear in the sky. I hooked my lines, cranked up the gear, and got back in the truck, to back under and hook up. In my tiredness, I put the truck in second (instead of reverse) and started to pull out;luckily the trailer landed on the frame, and by dumping the bags I was able to crank the gear down, air up the bags, and keep cranking the gear up, so I could get back under it. After which I went to bed.

    Not me, but I have talked to other drivers that were able to dump the air and slide under a low bridge (in Chicago, where else).
