Installed a set of Rancho shocks and swapped out the F250's rear spring blocks for the larger F350 blocks, no more saggy rear now!!! Cleaned the MAF and Throttle body and changed the oil... Should be good to go for this seasons hunting trip..

I don't think I could live with that view.

Washed 5 sides of the rig and gave a quick cleaning to the TV. I'm ready for a nap....

I cleaned the windows in mine today. First time since I bought it last January and it's my daily driver.

Didn't do anything to the half ton, but I traded my SRT-10 on something a bit less silly. 2017 RAM 3500 4x4 Tradesman, Cummins, Aisin, 4.10 gears. The 1500 will now be for towing the boat. (And this thing will be for the eventual fiver my wife keeps talking about.)  I'm probably going to do some comparison videos of towing our TT setup with the slightly overloaded 1500 and then with the 30000#+ rated 3500 to give a real-world look at any significant differences.

LOL. That thing had the power but with no hitch of any sort was absolutely useless.

Looking at it and debating taking the ladder racks off since we don't take the kayaks with us that often.

Installed the battery tender pigtail. Going back to the selling dealer tomorrow for full detail. They were closed by the time we got the paperwork completed so the detail team had already left for the day. Also found the cold weather grill cover kit in the passenger side drink cooler. I've probably got the only one of those ever sold in southern Louisiana.

Installed a BD Diesel exhaust brake a while ago. Added a spare air tank that uses the exhaust brake air pump. Now I have onboard air.!

Took it to the scales. 8650#. That gives me a current payload of 5440#. Then took it to the dealer for a bath. My five year old grandson tagged along. He wants a Jeep.
Then I made a short intro video for my new, "Weight Police" series.

Saw your video. This is the first thing that came to mind for your comparison.
Nevermind weight capacities, the torque ratings, braking, and gear ratio alone are huge improvements.
Best of luck with your Tradesman.

Thanks. I lol'd. I'm really interested in finding the differences/improvements. I will say at this point I'm glad the big one is not my daily. Unloaded, it's possibly more stiffly sprung than the SRT was. My 97 was the same. It rode the best when towing my race trailer.

Took the ladder/kayak racks off. Not using them enough to justify hauling that extra weight around.
