Treating Black ICE with Brine

What happens here

Attach the boom sprayer, also referred to as the 'pile driver,' to the truck's hitch receiver. Due to the new truck's stock suspension being less robust than the previous one, the added weight of the brine maker and full tank caused significant sag. This necessitated adjusting the boom sprayer's height. Use a wrench to loosen the bolts on the hitch attachment and raise the boom sprayer to a sufficient height, then re-tighten the bolts. The goal is to prevent the sprayer from dragging on the ground and to ensure an optimal spray pattern. The narrator references using a previous F-550 with 7 leaf springs, which handled the weight better.

Goal: Connect the boom sprayer and adjust its height to prevent dragging and ensure proper operation.

Tools and materials
