    Uhghhh Motor Probs

    I have noticed my exhaust sounding different from the right to left side. Truck is true dualed, so the pass side sounds funny...popping and whatnot. Drivers side sounds great. Does it cold, and also after its been driven, no change. So I do the ole paper test to the tailpipe, and sure enough it...

    Headlight Relay Mod

    Yeah, 3 wire on the upper bulbs. The HID install is pretty easy and straight forward. I've done it on a few other vehicles, mine and friends. Plug and play on newer vehicles, I just stress putting in a relay to power them.

    Replace gauge lights with LEDs?

    Also ordered these to use for interior/courtesy lights.

    Replace gauge lights with LEDs?

    Ordered 10 packs of both of these. Less than $10 a piece off eBay. The ones with the LEDs around the sides I am gonna try in the cluster. The other ones I am gonna use in the side markers, licence plate, 4wd shifter, and the high beam indicator.

    left break light problem

    Glad to be of assistance! It's not to bad of a job to do.

    Replace gauge lights with LEDs?

    Slick....which bulbs did you use? There are a million and one diffrent choices. I'm looking at the ones with the 4 leds around the sides and one in the center. But I don't know what would work best. there are ones with all the light facing out with no light out the sides. So many diffrent...

    Auto dimming mirror w/ compass

    I couldn't find a how to on the wiring of the dual display mirror, so all I have is the compass. I'm happy, but would be galore with a dual display!

    left break light problem

    Try this. Wiggle your turn signal lever with your foot on the break, while someone watches to see if the break light starts working or is intermittent. The break lights work thru the turn signal switch. I had another truck that did the same thing you describe...it was the turn signal switch not...

    Headlight Relay Mod

    If and when I do upgrade the lows to HID, I can't think of any way to keep the lows on with the highs without using a one-way diode or put in a third relay. That is because the upper bulbs are high and low beam. I want to keep all 4 lights on when the highbeams are on. Anyone have any other...

    Headlight Relay Mod

    Like Alaska said, a quick way to verify drop is to take a voltage meter and measure. At the output terminal on the alternator, the battery, on the fuse panel, and also at the headlight plug. I moved the voltage sense wire to a open batt connection in the fuse block and changed the voltage drop...

    Replace gauge lights with LEDs?

    Yep, I think this is a go for my truck. From the looks of it, the blue LED is brighter than stock bulbs. So clear LEDs should be a little brighter. I just replaced all those darn bulbs, and the dash isn't as bright as I'd like it to be.

    Headlight Relay Mod

    No. Atleast not yet. I want to pull juice from the battery instead of the headlight switch...less voltage drop equals brighter lights. Future plans of HIDs also, and they like steady current. Yes they draw less power once on, but HIDs pull more when first turned on...on the startup surge.

    Replace gauge lights with LEDs?

    Anyone done this? If so, does it make the gauges any brighter and how many SMDs did you use?

    Headlight Relay Mod

    I have searched and came up dry on finding a schematic for the Headlight relay install. I know I can buy a pre made harness, but I have several relays and plenty of wiring/connectors and such to build my own. Just need to know how on the 4 light system.

    Electrical issues

    Check the front turn signal bulbs to verify someone hasn't put a single filament bulb in by mistake. The rear lights are separated from the fronts, they get juice thru the turn signal switch. Clean up ALL the ground points. I know this is a dumb question, but are the bulbs good in the side...
