And I haven’t ever been short of air for brake operation (CO, WY, ID, MT, NM, UT towing), but have wanted more when it came to adding air to tires. My stopgap is to install an additional reservoir.

I used my GDP bracket and mounted my compressor in an inverted position instead of the filter. Then I built my own of one of these (https://www.dieselfuelfilterkits.com/2003-2012-cummins). Eventually, I would like to have an ARB compressor… Also, I have a shifter mounted switch-

One of mine was fixed under recall. The other side is still an open recall…

A double din w/CD player will require you to butcher your sub-dash. I found this helpful when I was looking to change mine- https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/looking-for-aftermarket-radio-upgrade.269799/page-2

This is one of the less expensive options that I have seen. Would you purchase from them over others, if doing the upgrade again? Or is something like this (https://www.ptpturboblankets.com/products/2003-2007-cummins-5-9l-turbo-manifold-blanket) worth the extra $ ?

I have been conservative due to the EDGE timing factors- We probably won’t pull that hill again until August. (Will probably have blankets by then along with adjusting the temperature alarms) The north side is even more difficult- at 5,643’ the town speed limit is 20 MPH, then you top out above...

Not to hijack- @AH64ID We can easily hit 1200+ EGT and I don’t like my coolant above 220. Yes, my fan locks up- but it won’t drop the temps once I am heat soaked. As an example: We start at approximately a mile above sea level, and are over 10,000’ in less than an hour (without a load)… The...

I struggle with coolant and EGT temps, I think blankets and custom tuning is in my future versus another system to complicate things…

How heavy are you and what type of conditions do you tow in?

I am also rarely below 4500’ elevation…

My 2005 could smoke when stock, and still can with stock program.

I had a leftover GDP bracket for the single filter that I used to mount the compressor in an upside down configuration. If you haven’t purchased the kit yet, I would recommend a more hefty air compressor (ARB) - depending upon your goals and pocketbook.
