Fuse box:



IIRC yes I do have the upfitter switches. PTO prep enabled too, so I have high idle.

Noticed a “lube your front driveshaft every oil change” sticker under the hood. Pretty sure it had one explode. Noticed dents in the exhaust that seemed possibly like it, and when the transmission wiring issue was fixed they found a cracked extension housing. He put like 8 grand into the truck having someone else do that. That and full four wheel brakes were the only paperwork I got, and it’s on new 225 highway tires all around.

Planning to bring it Wednesday.

I looked at the trailer wiring issues and found four things:
1. no more TIPM. back to a more standard (and very high count) fuse and relay block.
2. blown 'trailer tow' fuse - I'm now charging the camper batteries from the gooseneck plug, I think it was happy up to about 12 amps.
3. blown 'trailer light' fuse - that explains the rear hitch giving no lights,
4. even with (3), gooseneck plug did give lights. interesting.

Didn't check voltage drop with draw on the rear hitch 7 way plug yet.
But do I care? or do I just tow a single car trailer with the camper on the truck now, and maybe retire the goose? Got plenty of weight capacity, and I should be fully legal with a 9999 trailer and not have a care in the world or reason to be nervous about anything regardless of 19,500 in the door jam.

the ramps it came with are 2' longer than Mark's that I bought and have been using, but they are meant only to hook to a rub rail, and even though they are sticker rated for 8k/axle they are smaller than mine rated at 6k, and are bent from his use of a year of loading a micro skid steer. lame.

I'll split the topic sometime soon.

Just gathered insurance info to start shopping quotes around. it's almost exactly 2x what the '07 is for same coverages, and it's a similar difference for every single line item all the way down. 1988/yr vs 1115/yr.

Nice! The camper looks more proportional on this unit.

no smoke or lack of power

70mph winds took branches and some neighbor trees this afternoon. No other property damage.

I lost the only live windward limb on one of my big half dead ash trees, asked Chad about taking that down for me. It’s a bit beyond my skills for sake of size alone.

Would be hard for a high pressure injector to stick enough to cause that for real while still holding rail pressure wouldn’t it?
