RUST-BUSTING FUEL TANK
Prevent rust and corrosion in your fuel tank with the polyethylene in-bed diesel fuel tank from Titan Fuel Tanks, available for Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford and GMC diesel pickup trucks. Composed of military grade cross-linked polyethylene, the tanks are unaffected by the corrosive properties of diesel and biodiesel fuels and additives that would adversely affect steel fuel tanks. The tanks also are fully baffled, preventing load shifting. Weighing just 51 pounds, the 60-gallon tanks are easily maneuverable and simple to install, compared to in-bed steel tanks that can weigh up to 250 pounds empty. Offering 200 times less thermal conductivity than steel, the polyethylene construction of the tanks eliminates condensation, and keeps fuel cooler and closer to optimal combustion temperatures than metallic tanks, boosting fuel efficiency. The tank is sold as a complete kit and is secured to the truck bed with forged eye nuts. Options are available, including a utility riser bracket that provides four inches of under-tank storage.

AIR COMMAND APP
Have you ever wished adjusting your suspension was easier? Now, with Firestone Industrial Products’ Air Command Android app, you can remotely adjust the amount of air in Firestone’s air- helper springs with your smartphone. The app works with Firestone’s Android Air Command Kit, which provides an instant air source to their suspension products. The kit has an updated Electronic Control Unit specifically designed to work with Android applications. Then, download the Air Command app to control the air. The app allows the phone control the amount of air in the springs from up to 25 feet away, enabling the driver to visually inspect the truck’s ride height while it is loaded. The system’s ECU is sealed against the elements and can therefore be mounted outside the truck without having to draw wires into the cab. The Air Command Android app is available from the Android Marketplace. An iPhone app will be available in 2013.
