I'm finding that people don't really care what I look like as long as the knowledge keeps rolling. I've got friends requesting me to sit and watch them work and help where I can. First job was a friend in Caldwell, Idaho that had driver side brake pad start scraping metal-to-metal contact. Luck he was smart, drove home, and parked the truck. The truck is a 1999 Dodge 1500 V8 5.2L 2WD. Driver side I showed him the basics of how to remove, which is simple: get the truck jacked up and remove the wheel. Grab a 3/8" Allen Socket and remove the 2 caliper guide pins. Caliper comes off simple. Little fun with getting the large single piston back in fully to fit the new pads over. All the driver side rteplaced. Tire back on and torqued tight on the lug nuts. Moved to the other side and someone before him helicoiled one of the caliper bolts and the loctite didn't hold. Ugh! We ended up hunt all over Nampa - Caldwell for a helicoil kit to repair that knuckle. This is where I had to step up and do the tap work and get the helicoils in. He understand once he gets moved to Riggins, Idaho he NEEDS to replace that entire knuckle on the passenger side.

During my trip to Lewiston, Idaho, the passenger side headlight failed. I assume the bulb was blown. I attempted to get a replacement bulb in town. Not possible. We stayed to daylight travel to get home. I returned home and ordered a set of 55w ballast and 55w D2H bulbs as a set. As I was disconnecting wires, the passenger side power plug from the MotoControl had burned one of the power pins. I had to contact RetroShop to order the new MotoControl. I've just needed a good weather day to get the headlights installed again.

I've seen another post back in time here where someone lost the entire tone ring into the oil pan and crushed it up. I think you found the problem.

Weird part... Polling is turned on already for the Cummins swap area. Let me dig a bit on this. Should be available during the first post as a switch for polls.

CANBus was left for the "Cummins Insite" tool for the diagnostic connector. 2003 The CANBus was introduced to the 3rd Gens. We are just in the testing stage of this with the VP44 communications.

Could you post this in the article section with more detail on how you made the trays and hold downs. I'll bonus you $10 for the article. 🤑
