LED lights are pretty darn bright. The front marker light with switchback bulbs they light up to about 20 feet but could possibly reach more but the light is pretty scattered after that. I love the thought, Opps, I left my lights on for hours. No biggy truck still starts every time. Between what I've done so far in the cab and the taillights and markers it draws much less power. There has to be a mild saving there not having to twist the alternator as hard to power everything.

Man that sucks... Now you got the arm issues, the wrecked SUV and your truck out of action. Take a deep breathe and work your way through it.

True it would as long as it was calibrated.

Would they work on a Dodge fan clutch? It looks like all industrial applications.

Right on. Exactly done right.

225°F is the far end of the normal zone. As for the mechanical fan clutch nor you have zero control. As for the 3rd Gens and up with electric clutch fans. I think you can program the fan using a Smarty Touch I think. @AH64ID would know that answer.

Since this thread is growing pretty good I'm going to move this to the Gov't Forum.

Oh yeah... Right...

I would love to have those pictures of @dripley in those places!

The last person I know that had axle gears swapped out from 3.55 to 4.10 it's rather expensive. Local gent in McCall ID did his for a sum total of $4,000 for both front and rear axles. This was fresh and brand new gears, bearings, and pinion seal. He's running 4.10 gears now with 37" tires and loves how his truck runs now.

Yup. That is the right action to take. I know the guys at Quadzilla will make it right. Most likely ask for the wiring and the module both to be returned just to be sure there are no electrical problems. Like, in the beginning, I had a bad harness and I had the option of fixing it myself or send it back for a new harness. I call Quadzilla and they confirmed what I found and yes I opted to fix it myself. Worked great. Call them up and talk to Quadzilla I'm sure they will fix you up right.

Like locally everyone wants everyone to buy locally. That's fine but when local prices are out of control. Example a metric set of Crows Feet. They want $50 bucks for a simple set of crows feet. Then check Harbor Freight... (Mostly China made stuff). It's $11 dollars for the Crows Feet set. I still bought the set locally and paid the high price but I should have just waited till I went back down to Ontario, OR and got the set for cheaper. Comparing prices between the two local set was 555% higher than Harbor Freight. What sucks I've never owned a set of Crows Feet for all these years and only needed them for this one job. So was the investment of the $50 buck for a one time use a wise investment? Most likely not would be better to buy China made Harbor Freight. @KATOOM you do have a point. I've got no problem with buying American Made stuff as long as the price is competitive not like what I was dealing with and paying 555% mark up for a locally supplied tool. That complete BS and unfair. Now if the selection was the USA made Crows feet for $20 buck and the Harbor Freight is $11 I would have jumped for the USA made for the $20 for sure. Just being made in America doesn't make it right to mark up 555% for the same product. Kind of like Dodge, Ford and Chevy truck prices are now gone out of sight. Then Toyota, Kia, etc are cheaper priced.

Kind of like Moog Ball Joints, Assassin Mechanical Fuel Pumps, and Smarty Tuners are all China made. Just a few off the top of my head.

That's the man I want to meet next. I've spent so much time on the phone helping out and listening to his troubles that I'm super curious to meet this man.

I have as well. Darting back and forth in the lanes couldn't hold it straight and completely failed in Downtown Boise. Lot of metal grind noise which was loud enough to hear in the cab with the windows up. Again another common failure for excessive use of the service brakes. The brake fluid gets hot and cakes up to the pistons in the caliper till pistons start to hang up. Which in turn creates the problem, even more, being the piston will not fully release the brake pads. You can prevent this failure with 30k miles brake fluid changes and limiting the use of the service brakes and lean more on the exhaust brake.

Yeah, who did you call? Seriously, this why I want to get the 911 area going again. There is so many member scattered around the US and Canada there is no reason why we could be able to lean on the membership pool here for support or times of need. 5,5xx plus members. Member Map 911 listing

I hear ya. Just like the VW vehicle over there in the EU are illegal to be sold here in the US. You guy have vehicle with way better MPG's that US has. There was a thread here on M73M where guy went to the EU for vacation and wanted to buy the vehilce he was driving over there in the US but it can't be sold or brought to the US because its too efficient. Being all US highways are based from fuel taxes and overly efficient vehicles would hurt the highway tax dollars. China has the worst emissions and air quality in the world. I've done some study on that and very shocking to see all the different device people wear to just breathe clean filtered air because of all the manufacturing and cheap goods. USA is so crazy about making vehicle less efficient. Go figure...

Like I learned from another member here might not get brake fade but just the heat of long downhills is enough to heat up the grease in the unit bearing and make them fail premature. Unit bearings are not cheap. At least in Idaho. We've got a few that as steep or more.

My MPG up being its expensive to travel 1,000 miles a week. I did like you Chevy DieseFuture just not a good daily driver that is for sure. It would kill me to drive that back and forth to Ontario. Out in the back country I bet that thing is a blast.

Funny you bring that one up. I've got my buddy in New Meadows that owns a V10 Dodge and parked it because it cost too much to drive. Loves the power but its a fuel hog. His is a 1 ton truck and more tires and does about the same for MPG's. Told him he should trade that for a Cummins or at least swap a Cummins into the frame.

Awesome Chevy @Dieselfuture. Still that is a lot of rolling resistance and drag. Takes a lot power to keep slinging those huge tires around even with good gearing.

Not really. When you figure like @JAG1 a set of units bearing in the front, rotors, calipers, and brake pads. Once you run a steep grade and you overheat the brakes most everything will need to be replaced for safety. JAG1 found out that the heat from the rotors cooked the grease out the unit bearings, warped the rotors, burnt the brake pads, and possibly doing seal damage to the calipers. Only takes one steep grade to do damage. Even better yet he wasn't towing. Just carrying his camper in the bed of the truck. $1,000 only covers maybe 2 sets of everything.

No, not really. Being you need the PCM to start the CCD network. You need the ABS computer for road speed signal. Without the PCM you can't read any error codes from the OBDII port. Without the PCM the speedometer won't work and the grid heater won't cancel for road speed. These are common issues with retro fitting 24V ISB Cummins. Once you isolate the ECM its a dumb computer and lots of other mods end up happening. Best to fix the existing problems that moding around the problem.
