Directly off the manifold elbow with the supplied "T". The gauge hose has to be before any check valves.

And I don't care about off topic, it's my thread. LOL All I wanted to do was bring attention to what I believe is a top ten mod. (grab handle) And IMHO should be in the FAQ/DIY section.

They have rust starting, but not as bad as yours yet. I did not look real close as mine is a regular cab, so I was not caring too much about the doors.

There was also other Rams with the rear slider in them. I always look for the plastic lock that breaks. You should have bought the one out of my 98 before I junked it, you dummy. LOL JK

Does it have the roof lights? Overhead computer?

I was going to post this in the" What did you do to your ram today" thread, but I figured more people would see the link for Silver's grab handle thread out here. It works great, I pull all my 240 lbs sideways on the handle to get in , and it does not budge in the least.
Geez, Tubby -- maybe if you were a contestant on The Biggest Loser you wouldn't have issues getting in and out of the truck!

I have the whole cab light setup including factory harness out of my 98 with perfect lenses for $35. Take a Sunday drive some time.

I would consider that after putting my leg back on after winning the *** kicking contest.

AH...If you don't mind me asking ....how does the plastic trim come off the pillar?

Or how does one pop it off?

I agree that Silver's DYI needs to be stickied somehow.
