    I don't follow the thread. But is very different from how most do their setups like how we do with just a big relay. You can't connect the batteries with this thing though like ours so no self jumping or linking for winches. Still interesting though.

    Actually, if you hire them as a subcontractor with a signed agreement, it's perfectly legal. The liability insurance is a little fuzzy, so you need to be very specific in the contract. I did this for one guy who had a hard time showing up for work and always had family bullshit going on. He was a damned good mechanic but always had an issue. I just had him work on my "for sale" Subarus and such, and he always completed work by the deadline, even though he didn't seem to value his weekends much. :der:

    I've done a mod or two
    It isn't factory dealers have it done by Katzkin contractors at the dealership either when it got off the truck, or when it was traded in since it is a very nice example.

    At this age, that low of miles isn't always good. Unless all the hoses have been replaced and everything else rubber.

    I still wish I'd gotten my aunts 03 that had 33k on it..oh well. It sold for 15k I think in 2012. Highly doubt it would have increased in 10k of value in 10 years. Was basically the same truck minus the blower. Which to me isn't a selling point anyways as you can get a new blower any day of the week now.

    Its definately a special find. Someone will probably pay the price for a low mileage.

    Bummer. Not more than an ounce or so but how you lost it is more important. Theres an internal floating piston in the resi that may not be seated right anymore...

    Bummer you're far away. I could re set them in an hour or so. You likely now have air on the wrong side of your internal floating piston in the oil side. Your shock will cavitate big time. If u wanna send em to me I can do it. I've got a bottle of nitrogen. Otherwise I can maybe walk you thru it. There are some resources online you can find if you want to do it yourself
