I Have 3 Element extinguishers in my truck for this fear right here!
View attachment 53276

I watched this video get filmed, am a volunteer at the department. After seeing how they work I personally would prefer to make room for something with a little more power than an Element.

Thanks, I knew it was a member here that posted it, just didn't have the motivation to look yet.

Just about finished getting the Titan Sidekick installed. Need to tweak a few things so the cover closes also need a smidge more room to get the fill cap off easier, I’ll start a thread if needed. Had to “modify” the rail for my Bakflip, pretty easy work for a dremel and a pair of nines. I’ll post more pics with the cover installed once it’s all buttoned up.

Bookmarked! What is the source? How is the source powered? What is the fuel?

I will converse with my local fire dept. and I will preform a couple test with the Element. Stay tuned.
One of my uncles was in leadership in the local volunteer PD forever growing up and my grandfather was on the ESD board for a while. They just don't work very well for bigger burns, better off carrying a 5lb ABC extinguisher for anything vehicle related. I like keeping a few 2.5lb extinguishers close for smaller stuff and bigger ones on hand for a real fire. The element extinguishers will work for very small burns, but you'd have to light it off quickly and stop the fire from growing rapidly. Thier biggest shortcomming is the volume of gas they put out.

Corrected my former mobile diesel mechanics F-Up's on the Banks stuff and tossed my pulse tech desulfators on the truck. Dude didn't pull the bracket from the engine cover which caused the EGR crossover tubes bad seal to blow out all the gaskets and then was missing some bolts, including the pucker inducing one under the heater coil which I did myself. Should've just sucked it up and done it myself, but now the truck is right and running great! Also he's been fired since his excuse was "should've let me delete it bro"...

I removed the resonator on the back of the exhaust. Overall impression is, I do not hear any drone and it is maybe a touch louder but to me not a big change. I definitely like the look better as I had the shop turn the exhaust pipe/tip up for a more level departure over the before slanted departure.

Brake fluid change (holy crap was it dark at 36K miles).
And finally got the steering stabilizer installed... still had to do some adjusting after this pic was taken.
I set it to be 'level' when the wheels are straight... it does come off of level at full L/R turn.... other wise no binding noted.
This setup is much better than what was included in the 'original' kit I purchased.

Quick trip up and down the two nearby 'main' roads... overall steering feels 'tighter' and responds much more quickly to input.
While the sway bar was a significant improvement, these components certainly compliment it and provides better input/feedback, and steering quality.... FWIW, YMMV.

Alignment to Thuren specs is going to have to wait until I get back from out of town.

Finished up the Titan Sidekick install, will condense pics and mods/adjustments made to make it work with my current setup. Pretty stoked for our upcoming trip, gonna see how far I can really go on the stock tank!
