Friday, with the bed and back seat of the Dak loaded. It looks like the rear
was lowered 2 inches and the front lowered about a inch or two. Heading to
pick up my wife to take her and myself to the chiropractor, I noticed that
the air gauge for the Rancho 9000 shocks in the rear was showing 0 psi. I
thought the ride was bouncy! Tried to pump them up for a firmer ride and the
needle would move up to about 2 (max is 5) and then drop down to zero when I
stopped the pump. DANG Right when I need the extra firm ride from these
shocks something went south. While waiting for Cindy, crawled under the rear
and found the driver side air line got a wee bit to close to the hot exhaust
pipe and melted, #%&@%* At the Chiropractor I got the quickie adjustment and
went to work under the truck in the parking lot while Cindy got the full
treatment in the A/C cooled office. Its was about 99 deg outside. When
installing the air lines I put a loop in each one back at the shocks just in
case of service is needed down the road. Boy was luck with the truck today,
Cut the line just short of the burn hole and able to get the line to the
fitting on the shock. Luck Me :-) Jumped in the cab pushed the right button
and it pumped right up to extra firm in no time at all! {No Viagra jokes
needed here} I guess on Monday I'll call Rancho and order some spare air
line. All this in time to go and hitch up the trailer.
