I was trying to use the trip and did the reset but noticed that all the settings reset every time I shut down. My mpg AVG resets to 12, my miles resets to something like 2734. I is there a battery in there that wears out? My lighter is working ok and my phone charger works with the key off so there is power at least there. Is there a different backup source for the overhead? It is nice to have the odo for trip. Thanks, Curt

Hey Guys,So my dash lights and headlight switch lights are out. The 5amp fuse that protects that circuit is popped and I replaced it, it popped within 30 minutes of replacing. Is this caused by a bad headlight switch? What tests can I do to find this issue? :shrug:Thanks

Shopping for parts for my 01 3500 24valve 2WD 6spd Qcab that will be pulling a 40' flatbed. The front end refirb is what parts i'm looking for starting with polyurethane bushings, are they worth the extra exspence? Will they last longer from normal wear, chemical attack and are they more prone to squeak an make noise? Also looking at part drawings the ball joints are pressed into a hole or boss in the control arms, my ball joints are bolted onto the arms and the boss is msg. I've noticed some of the bolt holes going thru the control arms are elongated, is this control arm/bj a factory mod? is this a model differrance? I prefer the bolt on style but the elongated bolt hole…

I went to leave work today and noticed a hazard sign flashing on my Adrenaline display. It was coming from the trans temp icon. I opened it up and the temp was bouncing all over the place, anywhere from 0-220*. I have a mechanical gauge that was still reading less than 100 and the truck had only been running a few minutes so I knew the fluid wasn't hot. When I started driving it settled at 100* and stayed there only occasionally popping up to 108* and then back down to 100*. By the time I got home my mechanical gauge was at 140* while the Quad was still hanging at 100*. The transmission performed flawlessly as usual, could this be an issue with the Quadzilla or the …

Anybody ever use one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6V9RZR/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A383C3IVZAZ90D&psc=1 Would it have to be used in conjunction with some other gizmo or can it be hooked up and a spot made for it? Hard to beat for $20!

I have a friend that just purchased an 01, the fuel gauge is off by about a quarter of a tank so he ran out of fuel. Ever since his fan switch only works on high. I have not tried to pull any codes off but his 'cel' is not lit. Any ideas where to start? Thanks, Jonathan.

Hello Everyone, One of my winter projects this year is to refresh some aspects of the truck and I would like to tackle the rear axle sway/wrap in an effort to improve traction & reduce the wear on the other drive-train items from the pinion shift. I have spent several hours searching and cannot find a traction / ladder bar setup for our trucks that has a front swing shackle as to not limit suspension travel. Prior to me fabricating something, does anyone have any links to a company that offers a front swing shackle type traction / ladder bar setup for our truck? Thanks in advance

I been having an issue with my brake and ABS light coming on after I had to drain my fuel filter on the highway cause my WIF came on. Didn't have any tubing on me to guide the fuel away from dropping straight down so some water and diesel leaked on the diff. I am thinking I might of shorted out the front ABS sensor but I honestly can't locate them. Does anyone have a picture of where they are? Or some guidance on where I should be looking for them at? I have a '96 CCLB 12v if any more info is needed please let me know. *I checked the rear ABS sensor and that one is good Also to add to it, I can no longer shift into 4wd assuming it is cause of the ABS situtatio…

So.. my truck has been down about a month now waiting on this new track bar. I get it in and get to installing it this am and I'm freaking the **** out right now.. does anyone have one and have pictures of it installed? Am I supposed to drill anything? This thing came with no instructions and the install docs on the website don't open and the video they have is highly unhelpful besides adding review content. I have a bolt that doesn't fit in any hole on the bracket and it doesn't even feel like it lines up (maybe 1/4" off after putting in the ball joint bolt with sleeve.

Well I ned to fix my AC been putting it off long enough. Read JOHNFAK's thread on his AC Work Read ISX's sticky at the top, and in Johns thread Mike mentioned he did some work too? Mike if you did I know had to have posted pix somewhere I keep seeing a pic you posted that had the heater/evap box pulled apart. I cant find a thread about that if you did. Be nice to have a thread for ac work/repair. I have a leak some where and hope it is under the hood. Well either way I will probably pull the box out to can the evap either way, as well, I doubt its ever been done and couldnt hurt. It used to freeze me out of the cab, but not anymore. I made a list and am slowly fixing …

I removed my wifes suspension lift off her 2001 2500 quad cab. We went to the junkyard and they sold us control arms off of a 1999. Their fitment/buyers guide stated they would interchange. However the bushings are NOT the same ID as the cam ecentric bolts the truck came with.All of the bolts are different from the 1999 to the 2001.Replacement bushings state that they fit 1996-2002 1500-3500Doing more research I found a listing for the right bolts and not the bushings.Raybestos/Moog both show the bushings fitting but another site clearly listed a seperate listing.1996-1999 uppers and lowers had smaller bolts/bushings and 2000-2002 had bigger bushings and bolts.Does ANY on…

I was thinking!Now I may be wrong! but It seems to me that I remember a few years back that the color of diesel fuel was kind of green.Now does anyone else remember that or was it just a few stations that had fuel that was a odd color, or was it because of the higher sulpher in the fuel back then.It seemed that it was mostly in new mexico and Oklahoma at the time.But I never drove to other states so I really don't know just a curios thought.

Hi, I just bought a 2002 2500 and the wiring inside the cab in a mess. someone had a fancy alarm system. the door locks and windows quit working so I started tearing stuff apart and the wires to the doors and between the doors is hacked up like crazy. the plugs at the ends of the harnesses are cut off and missing, there's a bunch of after market with relays all over the place and I just want to put it back to stock. I am having a hard time finding replacement harnesses and I am also having a hard time finding any schematics. the truck has power door locks, windows and mirrors. I just need to be able to rewire so I need a schematic if there is one available. …
