Grandma lollipop is firecracker! You guys are very lucky to have her around! Family fun. Give her more hugs!

@truenaturestormers2525 6 месяцев назад

Yep, and Yep. She is a blast from the past, with fire.

@georgevindo 6 месяцев назад

I think you should have a "Name that part" with her. I'll bet she's pretty sharp. Thanks for the video.

@clivehorridge 6 месяцев назад

She certainly rocked the air-pump and the air-bags… bet she’d do well 👍🏻❤️🇷🇴

@bobbolieu9013 6 месяцев назад

I'm a huge supporter of Air Ride. I used to be like everyone is when they don't know, "It's just a gag or gimmick". Then I worked on a mid sized passenger bus, 35 passenger, and my mind was forever changed. The improvement in vehicle control was huge. Even more so was the ride quality, empty or fully loaded. You made a great choice to go with Air ride. When you can't tell the difference of empty or loaded you know that you've got it right. For those of us who have driven with a bouncy, almost uncontrollable load, when you get behind the wheel and the only difference that you notice is the weight that's when you gain a true appreciation for Air Ride. You control the load, or the load control you, you decide.

@cognitivedissonancecamp6326 6 месяцев назад

Air bags help the truck lift under load, so that the handling is normalized and the headlights point where they should, air ride is a whole different animal. Your point is salient though!

@t.l.robinson2162 6 месяцев назад

@3DogKnight 6 месяцев назад

Hey Paul, you might want to think about installing a back-up generator. It seems your power goes out often enough to justify it.

@troycurrie7784 6 месяцев назад

They would probably be a generous sponsor as well...

@dancronin5513 6 месяцев назад

Ok, I will be that guy. Really good idea to put a fresh set of batteries for that remote in the glove box. Looks like a good system that you will like and use. So make sure you are not left low and sad if you can not operate out in the wilds without a spare set of batteries. Keep up the good work.

@dustinwarriner7432 6 месяцев назад

I agree 👍

@jamesbigham9036 6 месяцев назад

Good morning Paul seeing all of you guys together is a good time. Grandma Lilly is fearless and I think that is a great thing. Hunter needs to remember if the camera man almost falls he should get it on video that is good footage. It will add to the video.

@phantomphixer679 6 месяцев назад

As an aside, I mounted my compressor to the inside of an ammo can lid. Drilled a few cooling holes and mounted it under the truck. Lid mounted to truck. Protects the entire compressor from dirt n mud. Unlatch and swing down container to check on it. Lotsa different ammo cans sizes. Should also put in tiny drain hole just in case you drive thru deep water

@donalddarbonne779 6 месяцев назад

You probably meant accordion instead of banjo, but we still laughed.

@adamsherm29 6 месяцев назад

Paul you should check out auctions for some 10k military generators. We run one at our warehouse when the power goes out. Carry the load from lights, cooler and heating. I'm sure even a 5k would work well for ya. Just an idea

@booneshine3585 6 месяцев назад

Good to see some heavy duty rigs getting some love. ❤

@The_Repair_Shop 6 месяцев назад

Airbags are a game changer on a tow rig. Even on my 5th Gen 4Runner, they make a huge difference when towing the car trailer with my FJ40 loaded up. Good choice.

@marvincarter870 6 месяцев назад

This is a nice addition to the Duramax and will help pulling the trailer. Always good to see Grandma Lolly stopping in!

@PaulBarwick 6 месяцев назад

Dang, Grandma Lolly should play a round or two of "Name That Part". I would love to watch that.

@mikethetinner 6 месяцев назад

I agree! Grandma Lolly vs. Michelle would be even better.

@cheryluhrig-rivard2963 4 месяца назад

We definitely need to see more of Grandma Lollie! Love her sense of humor and she definitely adds to the Fab Rats fun. I'll be heading to Utah this year and sure hope to be able to stop in and say hi to everyone!

I ran Hot Shot with my ‘18 Duramax Dually pull a 40’ gooseneck. I installed the same Firestone Air-Ride and it made a huge difference. Well worth the price.

@Bigdaddyslasher 6 месяцев назад

I would have mounted that compressor inside behind the seat or inside the toolbox. I have 7500lb bags with Bluetooth compressors, and mine is mounted on the frame where we thought it would survive, and now it's completely dead. The elements killed it.

@haroldphipps3457 6 месяцев назад

Inside the cab is the LAST place you want an air compressor. Unless you and all your passengers are stone cold deaf. Under the hood, or somewhere else "protected".

@kramnoslaw4474 6 месяцев назад

@jasonbecker4997 6 месяцев назад

Sorry for your loss…

@lgun1 6 месяцев назад

Just an FYI about your truck, if you want to make it a long distance hauler, replace the stock fuel tank with one from S B Filters. They make one that is a 62 gallon tank that mounts where the stock tank is now. It comes with the correct fuel pickup/gauge sender. I have one on my Duramax truck and it's great when you're pulling a heavy trailer.

@alexduke5402 6 месяцев назад

Yeah my 18' ram 3500 only gets about 11 miles to the gal pulling 29k lb goose neck. That gets me about 250 miles (usually 200 useable because I don't like being too low on fuel) per tank of fuel. I've been wanting to get an after market tank for it just having a hard time getting over the pricetag hahaha

@58scottyd 6 месяцев назад

I’d like to see a video of Grandma Lolly and Hunter, like a gag reel of their greatest hits! I think it would be a blast! I love how she handles everyone.

@donaldfrazier5244 6 месяцев назад

You are blessed to have Lolie around you enjoy every minute with her,I dearly miss spending time with my mother!

@richardr1790USCG 6 месяцев назад

Love my Ride Rite 7500lb system on my 3500. No drilling, no tank to hang. The Ttan tank topped it off for long haul towing.

@countryflyer4536 6 месяцев назад

We mount our brain box and pump up under the spare tire. We believe it is more protected from mud and snow. We have had problems with the Goodyear brand going bad after 3 years. We now run Airlift for the last 7 years with no problems.

@erikthered9357 6 месяцев назад

Once I started running air bags on my tow rigs, its now the first thing I install when I drive it off the lot. Bags should be a factory option on all 3/4 ton or higher trucks.

@cliffmorgan31 6 месяцев назад

I’d put a mud/road grime shield/plate protecting the new compressor….

@StarBase7390 6 месяцев назад

Huge advocate of air bags. 4 trucks over 20 plus years. Mount the compressor in the cab behind the rear seat. No not loud in the cab. Keeps it clean and the air intake dirt and moisture free. Had them mounted both ways inside and out. No problems inside. Outside problems with the pump every year.

@JimBosGarage49 6 месяцев назад

I love grandmaw lolly. I would give her a big ole hug. She is feisty like my Mamaw Carter lol. I could watch Fab Rats 7 days a week. If you all was in Tennessee where I am we would be great friends 😂.

@johnguilfoyle3073 6 месяцев назад

I think Paul was thinking of a Concertina, the Squeeze Box, mini Accordion.

@moosibou 6 месяцев назад

I believe the Timbren SES is a superior suspension enhancement. Simple, no leaking, no controls, no failing compressor. I installed a compressor like that in my RV. Within a year it seized due to being exposed to moisture. The cylinder and piston rusted. Definitely want to mount those inside.

@wldstrknwv 6 месяцев назад

If it’s like my Bluetooth for my air lift compressor, you’ll love it. I can control both bags separately. And so far it’s worked flawless for the last three years

@307.William 6 месяцев назад

Love my airbags. I run them at 10 when not “in use”. 65 or so with a loaded trailer. They are a game changer

@davejohnson7782 6 месяцев назад

I have always put the pump under left rear door on inner rocker panel that way the driver can hear it lol . I have been doing this for years. Too many people have to learn not to over load there trucks up here in the great white north have fun boys

@tomlagesse6635 5 месяцев назад

There is a small percentage i personally assembled that specific airide assembly. I worked at the plant where those are made, and ran the crimpers that assembled the top and bottom plates to the bellow (air bag). Just know each airide assembly is tested to at least 180psi for a minimum of 5 seconds on 4" parts and 15 seconds on 5" or larger parts. They are very high quality, where the plates are formed, fittings attached, and put through a furnace to make an air-tight seal at their Dyersburg, TN, plant. They are then packed and sent out for plating, then returned to the plant for assembly. I was hoping to catch a look at the white tag on the plate to see if it had my operator number. 😅

@laurence1643 6 месяцев назад

Your mom is cool, she knew exactly what those parts of the airbag kit are . Liked seeing her hanging out in the shop, I think she'd fit right in working there, maybe even put you guys to shame .

@jeremywilson4270 6 месяцев назад

Hey guys, I’ve installed many of those kits in the past on company trucks and they have never lasted more than 6 months.. keep a close eye on all the brackets as they come loose often. The last couple i installed i welded into place and the brackets still ended up bent in no time. Now I just add extra leaf springs and deal with the rougher ride when empty

@melsjunk2645 6 месяцев назад

I had Air Lift brand for years, manual 12 volt compressor but guages and valves plumbed into the dash, lasted years and years but that was in the 90's, not sure if the quality of brackets are as good now. Saved leaf springs from breaking on a lot of logging road driving, new leafs, shocks and bags after replacing many broken leafs 😂 live and learn individually

@georgevindo 6 месяцев назад

Ask Rory or Mike what they think of the Firestone brand of air bags.

@tlover94 6 месяцев назад

I mounted my control box and my pump above my spare tire to the bed rail on my truck. It's been out of the way, and i've had no problems.

@maxblankinship5003 6 месяцев назад

Thank you guys for doing what you do

@hotflashfoto 6 месяцев назад

I had Firestone rear airbags on my 1991 F150 back in 2001 and I loved 'em. I ran 2 lines to the rear bumper with a Schrader valve on each side of the license plate. I could lift and balance the load so easily and it rode like a dream when it was level, no matter how much was in the back.

@terrallputnam7979 6 месяцев назад

For being such a big truck there is not much free space under that frame. Good job locating all the air ride equipment.

@andrewr2650 6 месяцев назад

"Firestone air compressor so its their own" or they ordered enough to get the company who makes the compressor to put the firestone logo on it 😄

@chadnelson8259 6 месяцев назад

My firestone bags are 12 yrs old now.... 0.0 issues or leaks. I only run about 3-5psi unloaded for a softer ride

@maxironpaw 6 месяцев назад

How do you drain water from the tank? With the compressor air inlet facing forward, watch that road dirt doesn't clog the filter.

@johnkreiner7842 6 месяцев назад

Good luck with that kit. Took les schwab near me a WHOLE year of coming back and forth to get mine to work correctly. Long story short it never did so they removed it and put the old school two lever system in. Pump liked to turn off and on in the middle of the night for no reason killed my battery many times and ticked off my neighbors because of all the noise.

@cognitivedissonancecamp6326 6 месяцев назад

I love my airbags on my Cummins, no need to squat, just bring the jump box over that has the air compressor combo and just blast air in right near the placard on the rear bumper.

@kellyburdette6108 6 месяцев назад

@lonhoschar1943 6 месяцев назад

Nice video!! Hunter... us folks who grew up with snow in the winter have a built in reflex... when our eyes see white our walking gate changes to accommodate a slick walking surface. Just saying😁 More bells and whistles for the trailer puller. NICE!!

@jaymac2184 6 месяцев назад

I believe they call it the "walk like a penguin" reflex lol.

@BuilderofRat 6 месяцев назад

I have an 09 Dodge diesel crew cab long bed. I put my air compressor under the driver's door on the frame. I drilled a hole in the floor under the seat so that I could use cab air for the compressor. I put a manual gauge under the hood for the main air tank, and I use a manual slide switch just like I use in my air bag suspension on my T Bucket. It has a single gauge with 2 gauge pointers. One for each slide switch for each air bag. Mine works well too.

@dmorgan28 6 месяцев назад

Grandma sure takes care of all you guys. Hey that was a cool video. That air bag system should work great. 👍❤️

@Oldfatbeerman 6 месяцев назад

@tjshine7444 6 месяцев назад

I love my Firestone airbag system! So easy to install. #1 hint, be sure the base plates are solid, I had to weld them to the leaf spring perch. The U-bolts are cheap and the plate rotated and ruined the bags. BTW, take a plunger to that passenger door, it looks terrible. 😅

@jasonmorales1846 6 месяцев назад

Hey Paul love the show with all you guys and gals !! That dent in the front and back door are possible to repair ! I know you’re sending it to Robby Layton he’s cool and does an amazing work and not trying to take work away from him ! I’m a PDR tech and use to do dealerships Bodyshops and many other unusual things in the dent world but that’s possible to repair with paintless dent repair ! I could get 95% of that dent out !

Instead of replacing my leaf springs probably 10 years ago, I installed a set of firestone air bags. They have been great. I can load way more than I should with them on there. One thing you may want to check into though, I am not sure its good for the bags when you let the axle fully droop.
