Cool Love getting new goodies for the truck!

Well not to much, but I ordered some goodies for the truck! Put on the bully tailgate lock and love it! Very simple install! Also put in the MDS light mod and it is very suprising when it does and does not come on. I thought it would come on more on the highway but any slight incline at all it goes off.....that or the dealer I got the truck from didnt put 5w20 in it???? Anyways very cool little mod


So.......since I do tow a car I wanted to put in a trans temp gauge to keep an eye on things when I tow. So of course I ordred the srt gauge pod. After fed-ex messed up the shipping address and did nto deliver it yest, I got it early today and got to work! I am using an autometer Phantom II Trans temp gauge to match the factory gauges. I also got to thinking where to install my mds light and I think I found a pretty good spot for it...










Sorry for some of the pics being dark. I have not hooked up the trans temp gauge yet because the weather has been sub-par but I will get it done soon!!!

If you have the Hemi 06-08...the installed light will turn on when the mds is on and the truck is running in 4cly....do a search and you will find out how to put one in yourself! Very easy to do!

I think he's refering to the eco 5.7 that cuts 4 cyl down for fuel economy. Dunno what mds stands for really some things should be typed. If any thing for the slow of thinking like myself. lol at times.
