I am adding a 20" light bar to my 01. I will be making a bracket to add it under my rear hitch, somewhat hidden as much as possible as it is a slim lightbar. Can I run the harness to my non main battery without ill effects? I will be running an inline fuse as well as a relay. My goal is to flip the switch on while backing up to increase my visibility while backing as my reverse lights are not bright at all. Would it work best running from my main battery?

Ok I have been having some odd issues the last few weeks. About a year ago I got a hard CEL code P0123 and P0122. I checked for AC Noise at the Alternator and got around .03 VAC so no problems there. I swapped out the APPS for a TIMBO no problems truck runs fine. Now a year later I get a random P0122, P01693 and another code I don’t remember it was int he 300s, the last few weeks....it comes and goes usually at startup during idle. This morning I go to take the Wife last minute shopping and all of the sudden after startup I get an Air Bag Light and Brake light stuck on. Also no power to the Heater Blower Motor. Drive the truck about 10 miles or so everything else w…

Hey everyone! Brand to this site. Hoping to get some answers. So my cab heater is acting up, it will blow warm to hot air through the defrost and face vents but will blow cooler air through the floor or any mix setting. Sometimes I will hear a thud or something dropping on the passenger side dash. I have a new radiator, thermostat, water pump, blend door actuator coupler (heater treater). I'm wondering if this is a vacuum or door problem, maybe even a heater core problem. Also on defrost from the driver vent to the passenger its got great air flow to almost none, so thats also a concern. Thanks!

Evening Folks, I probably should have posted this up a couple of weeks ago, but it just occured to me. Im fixin to pull the HVAC box out & replace the heater core & AC core (& replace the dash & fix the EGT gauge), & figured while I had it all out I should check the vacuum pods under there. I saw from Mikes video that there is one directly on the HVAC box, but I dont know if there are other ones up under the dash (I would suspect there are as there is a bunch of vacuum lines connected together in the middle of the dash). How do you test them? apply X amount of vacuum & it should hold that for Y period of time? or is i…
