PS Liking the "brush bar" for the light set-up, did you build that (fabricate it and all)?

Yep,built the bar for the lights

Wow. Impressive. Nice work!

How did you get that tight radius at each anchor-end of the bar, bend by "heat-and-vise"?!

Things are a little on the back burner for now. My Wife and I are now taking care of her Mom full time. So not much is getting done. But with GOD's help we will work this out.

Treasure the time you have with her. Ask as many family history questions you've always wondered about. That time will pass quicker than you want. I was caregiver for my dad for 3 yrs. No regrets other than the stress wore my patience thin at times, I didn't realize how little time with him I was going to have.

Overall found it to be an honor to care for both my folks in their last years. (about 5 all together). Dad went first...... held his hand as he passed. Mom little over a year later. Way I look at it; I was their "kid" for 18-ish years.... they were my kids for 5.

Just in testing but it works . No more NOS parts for the fan air control.


If thing keep going well I will mount in the same place as the stock valve.

anybody do the air bag replacement ? Got replacements and now need to pull the old ones and see how they go together ?

 

[1951M1078]

Firefighter ask for more info about the bender stand.



Its just a system of tools in one place that can be moved. HF,Pro Bender,Mittler, Eastwood,SWAG stuff.

 

[agazza2]

Randy, will you also be doing a manual overide as well? I found it very helpful the other day while waiting in 110 degree heat for my trailer to be loaded. It was nice knowing that while the truck was idling the fan was on, and there was no chance of the auto solenoid not working during this extended wait period.

Nice setup Randy. I need to start putting something together like that to start building my rack.

Here's the install of the new aftermarket setup. But it all looks to be pretty simple job...
