Brakes - Check your hardware too
Just a friendly reminder... Take the time to inspect your brakes and all the hardware. Like myself I dove in to fixing my parking brake thinking there was a problem there but really just needs adjustments now and then. During the time of pull the calipers off I found 3 of the 4 slide pins rotten, one rubber boot was so wore it separated in half from the rough rust rubbing on it. Fix is easy I got a set of slide pins and boots coming this morning just gotta head to McCall ID to get them. Only +16*F and snowing this morning. Oh Fun.

Speed Round-General Questions
They have been mounted like that over 350k miles and I only replaced 1 bulb so far in that time. Currently the rely is rotten needs replacement and the last time I put the trans in I didn't hook up my switch again want to change my hook up too.

Low Boost After Boost Elbow Install
Why? It is already tapped in a 3/4 hole in the manifold. But hey I did that on 2006 being that plug was not present for CR heads.

Speed Round-General Questions
Same set up here the reverse light are also halogen and my relay is tucked back up in the left side taillight high last a bit longer but still gives up fast. I get my power from the 40A +12V out of the 7 pin trailer plug. I've got a pair of halogen aircraft landing lights on the rear axle. You do not want to place big halogens on the the violet lead it will burn the reverse switch and the wiring up being the two bulbs I run at 16.6 Amps for the pair. Now if I swapped for LED floods I could then most likely swap over as long as the new set is low current draw. I would still be careful to swap the stock bulbs to LED as well to open up the amp window a bit more for additional draw. I've also got a switch on my overhead console to force the reverse lights on as well so I have a flood of light during hitch up of trailers.

01-02 motor swap
Absolutely. Keep all sensors and the engine wiring and ECM and PCM if possible. Sensor like @Great work! posted can be swapped easy enough. Alway just that weird little something you should of kept and didn't.

Speed Round-General Questions
Shouldn't have to for standard little things like lights and small accessories. Large accessories like a winch should be wired directly to the battery. Yes, you can ONLY if the alternator lead is NOT hook up in the PDC any longer and the W-T ground wire mod was done.

Speed Round-General Questions
Yes there should be teeth showing. If not you not going to be able to slip a pitman arm puller up there to get the pitman arm off. So what you'll have to do is unscrew the sector adjustment and beat the output shaft out. Just a huge pain in the ... I had one of these last summer and was piss off because the extra time involved to remove the steering box, reprime the system, reload with fluid and re-adjust the sector adjustment. You are fine... Leave it alone...

Final ratio plays a huge roll in good MPG's. 3.55:1 to 3.73:1 final to ground (calculating the tire size too) is the best range to hang in for most here.

Low Boost After Boost Elbow Install
Drop that boost bolt in the trash... Boost plug just forward of the MAP sensor its a 3/4" pipe plug just bush it down from 3/4 to 1/2 inch then get a bass bushing for 1/2" to 1/8" come out with a PTC fitting for your tubing.

1998.5 47re auto hard OD shift
I can change the tire size enough to make mine appear to be any any gear I wish. Being the PCM does not communicate gear position or even able to detect it there is no way for the ECM to have that info either. Kind of like the MPG display is all calculated from the fuel data, offset percent, and speed data. Accuracy of any calculated info requires the info in the setting to be accurate so the calculated is accurate as well. Now another thing too a lot of people assume the timing value display is actual timing of the engine which is is while the timing piston is working but as soon as P0216 code is thrown you looking at commanded timing and the piston could be full advanced ot retard and still display timing commands as usual.

Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
What?! No limo tint glass in that bad boy? I've gotta ask what did it cost for glass to be cut and tempered for the windows?

Injector Brand Choice
Like me perfect 2k RPM at 66 MPH. Then interstate is 2,450 ROMs at 80 MPH. Don't bother me one bit listening to that Cummins sing like a well oil machine. Like I said final between 3.55 and 3.73 is a good spot to be. Being Beast is 3.69 and Thor is 3.73.

Air Vent?
Only 2 positions close outside air OFF and MAX A/C. The rest of the positions are open to outside air.

Need to add 2nd battery back..
Biggest thing is buying the cable that is expensive.

Who's ready for warmer weather?
Even for me I'm ready to load up the ATV for a back country ride soon but gotta wait for the snow to melt. Ugh.

Remember iQuad is only calculated for gear position based on tire circumference math not actual.

Air Vent?
Very true. It weird you got vacuum to open the fresh air flap or vacuum was dropped the door blew open. If vacuum was dropped then it should be stuck on DEF mode. There should be a few vacuum motors fresh air is over next to the kick panel. Just gotta do a dash pull.

Need to add 2nd battery back..
Best answer. Seriously I've seen people cut the old end off leave the black oxidation on the copper and hook up new terminals (crappy 2 bolt clamp style).
-
Anyone here run Gloshift gauges?
Correct. The older EV series is machanical and all it needs is a snubber at the tap point and hook up the gauge light to panel lights.
-
Need to add 2nd battery back..
Then there are some of us still got our factory battery terminals, no corrosion, and in good condition yet. Tell you the trick keep all exposed metals coated with engine oil. This includes battery hold down hardware.

Who's ready for warmer weather?
Yup, the tail is gone. I use to run a 1976 Honda CB550 which I modified. Back then it was a Walkman (cassette) and earbuds. Then go out canyon racing. Back in my younger years when I was truly crazy.

Who's ready for warmer weather?
Ear buds and a cellphone if you don't have one. For me its a good beat and you can dance a 1100 Goldwing right down a windy road.

3rd LU will only happen in the the OD switch is OFF. Even my old 1996 Dodge was that way.

My '16 Harley Tri Glide Ultra
I think when people build trike the rear tires are automotive size and weight but that trike weighs much less but still people over inflate the rear tires creating the bump problem. I get similar if I'm setup for my plow blade for tire pressures then remove the plow my ATV rides really rough like the rear tire are solid. Adjust the pressures based on weigh the ride will improve a bit more.
