is there any tips or tricks i need to know or do here is a run down of the truck..

Monroe truck package
2200 to 2300 rpm at 70mph
rear airbags i think its the link system
cab air
has factory exhaust brake
Pto switch
has another switch that has little curly que on it but there is no tag telling me what it is

things i want to do already is sale the 19.5 wheels and tires
buy front deavers or kelderman air ride (please chime in good or bad on both)
programer (which one??)
exhaust (which one??)
where is the best place to find upgrades for the interior dash and door panels
shocks? which ones work the best?


thanks in advance

Congrats on the truck purchase! Post some pics when you get a chance. Kinda curious to see a pic of that switch that you are talking about. I've got a set of brand new 22.5s Alcoa polished wheels for sale, let me know if you are interested.

thanks i will take a pic of the switch...

what is a going price for the alcoa 19.5 with tires...i would like to sell them but not sure what a fair price is?

im guessing the switch is your manual dpf regen switch, not sure without a pic tho

The switch is for your exhuast brake.

not the exhaust brake that one is labeled...not sure how to post the pics

Go to Advanced reply, click on the paper clip (attachment) and browse for the pic and upload it and submit the reply.

If the switch has curly cues and dashed lines threw it it is your manual DPF switch. Congrats on have one bad ass truck.

this might work if it does its the switch on the bottom left

what does a manual dpf switch do? thanks in advance

Wow, beats me, not a clue of what that might be, but kinda thinking it might have something to do with the newer emissions on the truck.:confused:

This activates the DPF on the 07+ d-max. Emission. The vehicle will do it automatically but when you are at idle or low RPMs for a period of time the exhaust temp is not high enough for the regen to start, so they have the switch for this. As for the suspension I will try to let you know ASAP.

Good looking truck! Those 19.5s should be worth around 1,000-1,500.

shocker is right. It let's you activate the regen cycle. Look above your drivers side sun visor it should have instructions. We have construction trucks that run all day and my not see the road speeds required for regen. Ours have a light on the switch that turns orange when you need to regen. If it turns red your screwed.

thanks is that tires and wheels or just wheels

what determins what type of steps you get on these trucks
on my truck it came with tube stype steps and all my buds have the square like yours

Both of mine have the square plate set up, but I think the tubular ones like yours look way better, wish I could trade them out.

where is a good place to find after market parts for inside and outside of the truck...

Nice looking truck !! PM me on your wheels and tires. I'm going to need tires here in the next month or so.

I hope you read what Fozzy told you about the regen switch. I have an 08 and it has it too. Byron at Laredo took the time to explain a little about this. It is important you at least read the back side of your drivers side sun visor. If you see your regen light on your dash turn orange you have to initiate a manual regen.

My truck regens about every 300 miles when pulling trailer. It will stop the regen if i get into stop n go traffic. Never had any problems or red or orange lites. Always the green regen lite on instrument cluster.

i notice my regen light on just driving around town not towing...is this normal? do i need to push the button?

If you hit freeway speeds it will regen on it's own. If you can not take the time to hit the road and open her up, hit the regen. Yes it is normal.

finally looked up and read the label above the visor i understand it now...thanks
