My .02 is the BFG bajas ride softer and are from a proven model of tire with years of track record.
Goodyear's change models and their lineup constantly.

That blower motor does not look special in any way but when you see a retail of $150 for a $30 part that is nuts.
This pic has a part number and mfg looks like hunter? maybe you can get the pic cleaned up and zoom in. Someone makes this motor for universal applications and you can always have...
Yes, That is what I would call the remote resovoir. Might have a different official name. Interesting that they did not tie that line into the others as done previously with the fording kit instead of running a seperate vent to the intake stack?
On fri they do a mini VIP and Corp sponsor show not open to public.
Wind definitely was kicking sat. The US Army Parachute demo was probably having a challenging time. The air speed streamers they dropped from the Huey drifted way far from the runway.
Better on Sunday.
The hard line on the intake is for the fording kit.
The gm Saginaw pump takes a new cap with a nipple for the vent tubing on the fording kit but that is for the older models.
You must have the remote reservoir pump?
If so that might explain the additional line.
One of the coolest flights was a WWII F4 corsair being escorted on a victory lap by F35's. On Sat it was one on one. On Sunday they had 2 F35's.
I had never seen the F35's previously at an air show. They also did several flight Demos and showed off their capabilities. They were from Hill AFB in Ut
Navy VFA-204 squadron "River Rattlers" is an all reserve top notch squadron ( I understand one of the best any where) that is the main defense force for this part of the gulf and surrounding area. They are a 24/7 ready alert status with birds on tarmac always hot.
Notice the distinctive Russian...
This PLS was not armored but was immaculate like it just rolled off the Oshkosh factory line. Still had the new truck smell.
The boat was interesting and different than the bridge erector boats I have seen previously with the LA Guard Engineering bridge building unit out of Slidell.
This thing...
"Buff" came out as a static display but this baby was from Minot. Not sure how those guys even found the air base after liberty visiting the French Quarter :-)
Real interesting that a B52 from Barksdale was not here instead.
Sunday was a beautiful day. Mike's m37 is super clean and outstanding. His new trailer probably would look better in my fleet :cool:
P51 mustang with the distinctive Rolls Royce engine roar is a treat to see and hear
Temp light is possibly the sender. Was it the original one you swapped over or did the replacement motor have one on it?
No alarm on it that I am aware of for temp.
There is a fail safe module with alarm on the left driver's side kick panel for low air pressure / air brake problem. Is that...
Lots of fun today. SS represented today by me and Winfred.
F35 were a treat I had not seen previously at an air show.
Fat Albert was there and flew around but no jdam jet assist takeoff. I met an airman with another c130 squadron that told me the stress on the airframe as most of these birds are...
