Yup! Done fair amount of research and discovered a secret way to do fairly easily (2 hrs). Tricky part is the door locks.... but found an Car Stereo Shop that told my neighbor the secret...was over my head, but eliminated all need for extra parts...save for 2 resistors??

If i have to, I'll write it all out and turn Tyler loose... with Rob supervising (before he meets up with 'The Captain').

It's coming hard but I'm actually starting to feel less "Electrically Challanged". Actually rewired my FASS ground to the battery .... all by myself and it still worked!!

I'll bring a few rolls of black wire as well. You know, for the grounds and when we run out of red.

Hi everybody. Good to be back, but had a great time in NB and SA!

Just a little sore from a sunburn, a hurt foot from walking around SA with some bad sandals on, and a sore throat from a persistent summer cold. Otherwise, it was a blast.

Schlitterbahn, Sea World, Alamo, Movie about Alamo, Riverwalk, Natural Bridge Caverns, Tubing on the Comal......(couldn't go tubing on Guadalupe as they were letting out 5200 CFS of water out of Canyon Lake). Great vacation! If you ever decide to go, take plenty of money...they have lots of ways to help you part with it down there...


Then today, I had to put my swim trunks (literally) back on to go hook up the RV. They were having massive rainfall down there I guess related to the Hurricane out in the gulf. I literally got soaked just hooking up the trailer to the truck and disconnecting the power/water etc. A change into dry clothes and we were on our way for uneventful trip home otherwise.

Don't do anything silly to get yourself banned... And, Don't worry about Longhorn....the rest of the posters on that thread "get it". He doesn't.

Hmmmm.....this might be a little maintinance project for some of us on Labor Day weekend: http://smokindiesel.com/Technical.htm

I changed mine over 100k ago, so a good cleaning probably wouldn't hurt.

Shoot, I didn't even know I was up for it, I was going to complain that they never do trucks that I would qualify for. It's an honor just to be nominated, but of course it's better to win, ya'll get over there.
