    electrical question

    ok, im now convinced my switch is fine. I have a spare cab light so I rigged up a test with the switch and I got the light to come on now matter how I configured the wires and no matter which position I set the switch. At this point I can only guess that maybe the wire redirecting the current...

    electrical question

    to make sure I correctly understand this set up - tell me if the following is correct - To install the switch I cut a wire and ran the two ends to two poles on the switch then ran a 3rd wire from the last pole to another wire in the same bundle with one of those saddle type splices where you...

    electrical question

    Im stumped. Im on the 3rd switch and it still happens. How can I possibly be getting one bad switch after another? I do not know squat about circuits but I want to figure out a way to test it. I have a spare cab light that I figure I can use somehow. The switch has to be more than a simple...

    electrical question

    hhmmm, dont have onna them. Bill is gonna come over later today. Maybe he would have one. If not, I guess I'll go back to o'reillys and ask them if they can test it. I can't imagine what else could do it so it must be the switch.

    electrical question

    A couple of years ago I put in a floor mounted headlight dimmer switch and it worked fine. That is, until recently. I pressed it and instead of brights, the lights went out. No dash indicator either. No big deal, the multifunction switch on the column still worked. I figured the switch went...

    bad fuel level sending unit?

    lovely. especially now that I have moved 400 miles from the guy that put the new one in. Just great. How can I go about checking for the various connections? Is that something I can do as a novice with virtually no proper tools?

    bad fuel level sending unit?

    When I switched to my rear tank the other day the needle went WAY past F. Now, several days later, it is still there. Do I have a bad rear tank level sender? It is further than the picture really indicates - took it with my blackberry.

    Large Explosions In Dallas Today........

    tell you what, I watched it on live tv while I watched it from my 33rd floor office at the same time. It was pretty darn cool to watch once we knew what it was and that noone was killed. The reports on the 2 burn victims conflict - one says critical the other says mild burns. Don't know which...

    Arlington Clean Air Program

    ha, no not at all. I dont have such an experience. I just saw the sign on the door at autozone one day. I think it is dumb since a cat was never required to begin with. I just don't like how if you get accused of something and you are in fact innocent, you end up paying out the wazzoo to...

    Arlington Clean Air Program

    there is a sticker on the engine that indicates whether there was a cat installed and probably indicated elsewhere. It's just an argument I don't want to have to make. Win or lose, it wont be cheap. You are right, it isn't limited to TX. I just mentioned that because I am familiar with...

    Arlington Clean Air Program

    I wouldnt count on lack of enforcement. That could be an expensive mistake and only takes one over-zealous enforcement person. Just another fyi along this same line - TX Clean Air Act makes removal of a cat punishable by $25,000. One call could lead to discovery of that too.

    seat spring squeaks

    possible but I have the marathon seat covers over the stock upholstery so dont really want to get that involved. I may just unbolt the entire seat and spray away. Im not sure if it is coming from the back or bottom part. :thanks Bill, you back in town?

    toddler seat in the rear...

    You probably wont get a flush fit but the way we get our seat tight is to actually get in it in one fashion or another. For instance, put your knee in the seat and put your weight on it while you pull the tether.

    seat spring squeaks

    Anyone know what, if anything, I can do to make my seat springs quit squeaking? I thought about just spraying lube under the seat but that just doesn't sound like a great idea to me. Thanks!

    Breaking Into Your Own Truck

    if you remember to put a spare key on the truck somewhere you might be better off using bailing wire and strapping it to the frame somewhere. The magnetic ones tend to vibrate and fall off. AAA has always saved me.

    Bad Fuel Economy

    410s will get you lower mileage especially with those tires. I used to have an old 250 in which I would also start from a dead stop in 2nd. I put in a new clutch at roughly 65000 miles. My current one I always start in 1st despite it being so low but I now have ~97000 on my OE clutch. I dont...

    Bad Fuel Economy

    what is the mileage? I have a 97 and am getting around 17 city 20 hiway. Have you checked the fuel and air filters, tire pressure, or any other simple items? I only have 97000 miles so I dont see total miles having much to do with it at this point.

    Bought a DVD burner, better than TIVO......

    pretty cool. Do the settop boxes provided by cable companies (verizon fios in my case) do the necessary tuner work? I want a large screen tv but would opt for a monitor if the tuner is in the set box.
