LED lighting - Exterior lighting
There are two 100w spotlights on the rear axles. Eventually, get changed out for LED's as well. Might look at. That what you see on my truck. http://www.piaa.com/store/p/147-LP-530-Driving-LED-Light-Kit.aspx

CACA Bluetooth Stereo
There is a separate power lead. Black and red wire. Hook those up to the reverse lights. The red pigtails on the video RCA cable does nothing.

Big change in my life...
Not really I've been talking to folks trying to move into Ontario area and there is nothing affordable or available. This isn't an option. Being I could never get Mom to move down there she won't do it. Neither will I. This comes back around to find a person to do the training. The dialysis training is FREE it cost nothing but takes 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week for 2 months to complete. If you have a medical background this can be shortened. I've come close 4 times now. Sad the best one out of all them live right here in New Meadows, ID she is a retired EMT and plenty of medical knowledge but the day we were going to start training she found out she had cancer. Dang... I found the second one in Riggins, ID that was a nurse for the clinic and she did her husbands dialysis for over 7 years. The day we suppose to start training she informs me that she's moving to the south. Crap! Had the third one in Council, ID that works at McCall hospital. She opted for it but couldn't do the training without losing her job. If I could find the right girlfriend possibly I could get this filled in...

Speedometer Issues
Pull the speed sensor back out of the differential and using a mirror and flashlight look in the hole for the tone wheel. Is the tone wheel centered in the hole or off to one side? When the axles are turned is the tone wheel all there no missing chunks or missing teeth? Now you need to check the wiring from the sensor to the ABS module. With the plug pull on the sensor make a jumper wire between the two pins. Make sure the ignition is OFF. Now unplug the ABS module plugs and ohm out the rear sensor pins it should be 0 ohms but no more than 5 ohms. If all this checks out then you be sending your module off the ABS to someone to rebuild. There is Module Masters in Moscow, ID.

Exterior Article - LED Lighting - Taillights and marker lights
LED Lighting Parts List LED marker light LED Taillight Heavy duty LED flasher As for installing it just simple change of parts. The flasher is found in your driver side of the dash. If the flasher been there a while then it might be difficult to remove. Just take your time and work the flasher it will come out. Pull the stock flasher out and plug in the new flasher. As for the taillights you need a T25 screwdriver. There are 2 screws holding each taillight in place. The outside edge is a set of pins into the body. Need to be firm but careful and pull the light straight out. Top bulbs are your tail lights simply twist the socket and it should come out. Simply change the bulbs out. Leave the bulb out of the taillight for testing. Front marker lights for stock marker there is a Phillips screw holding the light in place on the bottom. Then just pull forward. Twist the socket and remove. Now change out the bulb. Again leave the bulb out for testing. Aftermarket headlight you might have a unit like my own which the marker light is part of the headlight. This you'll need to remove the 3 10mm bolts and pull the headlight forward to gain access to the marker lights. After that, it is just like the stock marker light. Twist the socket to remove and change the bulb out. Now testing you want to simply turn on the parking lamps and see if the front marker lights are both white and the rear taillights are dim red. Now you can hit the hazards and check and see if the front marker lights turn amber and the rear taillight flash bright red. If any of the bulbs are backward pull them out and turn then 180 and resocket the bulb. This should fix this problem. As for the bulbs listed above, I'm using a switchback bulb in the front marker lights. This bulb will be white light on parking lamps and when a turn signal or hazards turn on the bulb automatically switches from white to amber. A member brought up laws might be in effect for white marker lamps in front. Might want to check with local laws on this. View full Cummins article

Big change in my life...
Won't happen. You guys can keep your big cities. I've got plenty of jobs up here I can do but just need the time. Even Mom refuses to move down there because of its horrid and city crime is way high. I've talked to enough people down in the Ontario area and the cost of living is nearly double. Those are my bills. Give up the house so I double my bills... Not a good plan. Power (sharply reduced in the summer - hydro/solar power) Phone / Internet Insurance I've already got an idea on cost of living down there which is nearly double what the cost is here even with the travel of going back and forth. What I NEED is a company that is willing to do her dialysis at home (In home health care). Insurance will pay for everything and already been authorized. Just need someone to do the training and then Mom would have dialysis at home and I can go back to work that simple. I found one in Grangeville but I'm having doubts on them coming through again. I've been authorized for the machine and all the equipment and supplies. Just need the body to do the job. The stupid part is DaVita has a clinic in Ontario, OR. So the built a new one. The new clinic is just across the river in Fruitland, ID. How fricken stupid. There is many people up here in this area that travel for dialysis. I know of one in Council, ID. I know of a few in McCall, ID. Still we can't get DaVita to build a clinic in McCall, ID how stupid! Jeff is another guy I know down at DaVita and he's got to drive an hour or more from Brogan, OR for treatment every other day.

Nv4500 atf+4??
Because I'm always talking about Ontario, OR which I down there 3 days a week. I'm in Central Idaho north of New Meadows, ID. Use to own a 1973 Dodge Charger SE. Yeah, I remember those times rather well.
-
Nv4500 atf+4??
I personally think there is way too much hype on spec for transmission lubricants being that Dodge Dealer's dropped the original Castrol and Texaco fluids for both transmissions and then changed over to ATF +4. Even the G56 in the 3rd gens stated at ATF +4 fluid as well even though most find out that it spec'ed for GL-4 fluid as well. Even back not long ago the GetRag 360 was 10w-30 engine oil in the 1st gen trucks.

Nv4500 atf+4??
You not locked to name brands either. You can use 50 SAE transmission fluid which I've been running now for the last 120k miles. Same stuff used in big Eaton Fuller transmissions.

24v Adrenaline discuss
Diesel Auto Power (Jacob Kidd) bought the Quadzilla Power Company. The abilities of timing and fuel management. Compared to Smarty or TST you have a much better range of timing and fuel control to the point that most of us have smoke free tunes that make serious power.

Hence why the thread was started... I'll give you this one. I started digging the syncros are different. But I'm not sure what they are made of yet. Still digging.

Big change in my life...
I would be thrilled to death to be like most people. At least most people get paid for the 40 hours a week. I get ZERO. Nothing for my 40 hours and attempt to survive on mere 8k a year. There is a huge difference. I've got no problem working 60 or 80 hours. Been there done that. To work and not get paid is horrid. I would love like hell to go back to working 40 hours a week and having a paycheck. I figure somewhere down the line there is a balance the Good Lord will provide. I've got to take care of MoparMom she is the only family I've got left and she took care of me for all those years its only right to take care of her in the time of need. I even took care of my Dad when he died of cancer back in 2004. Then toss in my medical and her medical this is getting rather tough. Like I'm hoping today I can get a project done on a 2010 Ram truck and get it running for the owner since a local gent managed to delete it and leave the truck in a state of non-running. Nickle and dime my way...

AirDog Toggle Switch hardware
Yeah... That's the problem you need distance from your last snubber to allow the remaining pulses to fade out.

Nv4500 atf+4??
Might check your local Dodge dealer. As of lately, they are loading both NV4500 and NV5600 transmission with ATF+4 now. Must not be very different.

Maybe you should tell those pup's out there rolling massive coal down the highway. They are not legal tunes when crap like that happening. Anything that produces tunes that produce excessive smoke is illegal. Yes anything that modifies the fuel and creates smoke is illegal. Even changing out for larger injectors.

I got Eric at Vulcan Performance to make it for me. Its just a piece of angle iron with 2 holes that are tight fitting to the double female NPT fittings. Eric lightly tack welded the fitting and just screwed it to the fender.

Big change in my life...
Heck if I was to heed every single law might as well just close up shop and not do anything. Just the fact of this website and promoting high power diesels and tuning is illegal in all states. Any form of altering the ECM software is illegal. What we are doing is a federal offense for modifying the stock tune on the ECM. Do we still do illegal tuning? Of course. Just changing to BHAF is illegal. Heck lets just bring out the fact that I'm smoking herb too. That illegal in the state of Idaho. Doing it for medical reasons. Do I worry about that legal problem? Not really. Heck, even my high idle kit is illegal. Because it alters the ECM sensors and its ability to control the engine.

Glow shift are poor quality from the get go. Then you never want to install a sensor at the tap point. You want at least 5 foot of tubing between the last snubber to the sensor. This stops the water hammer from beating the sensor to death.
