  1. if yours is a Bosch, they have parts for those as well.
  2. The rectifier is the diode pack and the rebuild kit comes with the brushes, bearings, and a few other goodies. Through that site you can buy just about any parts or pieces for the alternator.
  3. This is where I bought the parts to rebuild mine. This is for a Denso. Rebuild Kit: $42.82 http://www.aspwholesale.com/repair-kit-nd-er/if-136a-p6046.html (comes with brushes and bearings.) Rectifier: $32.38 http://www.aspwholesale.com/rectifier-nd-p1375.html This is a pretty good video that can walk you through the rebuild. It all worked out well for me and fixed the AC noise that I had.
  4. That's a pretty sweet set up. The coolers that you installed come in a pair correct? Is it just one of them that is tapped for a drain plug or a probe like you had it at first or do they both have that? The way you have it set up now you don't use that plug/probe fitting now?
  5. I would have your alternator test for AC voltage. Also, go over and check all of your battery cables. What scanner are you using to check for codes?
  6. I have the fuel boss as well and I have never had any issues with it. It works great.
  7. Thanks for all of your post and pictures. How high is the fluid level in the transmission in relation to the temp probe?
  8. I have a pretty good compass with this. It is pretty nice, but I can't say I've had to use it much in the dark.
  9. Here's a 2001 for $20,000. I guess if people will pay this much... http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/3030991?ad_cid=19
  10. I put these on my truck several months ago. I agree, they added a much larger view. I still wonder why they would have put those smaller mirrors like the ones you took off on duallys. The rear fenders blocked most of the view in those smaller mirrors.
  11. I can take a picture for you when I get home this afternoon.
  12. I have this resonator on my truck. I used band clamps. I am a big fan of those. I mounted mine as close as I could to the downpipe.
  13. Nope, I don't have a B&W set up in my truck. I googled this companion hitch and it is more then twice what I paid for the Andersen; over $800!
  14. How much oil is required for the sample and how do you collect it without making a huge mess? Also, during this period did you change the oil filter?
  15. I used the Andersen Ultimate Hitch with mine. I was a big fan, it worked like a charm and doesn't add the stress that others do. I would certainly recommend it, but I would suggest making sure you have chains as well...in case you get pulled over and inspected. I didn't want to add 5th wheel rails in my bed. I already had the gooseneck ball so I figured I would use that.
  16. Just a few that made it in the news. http://www.kiro7.com/news/police-search-carjacker-who-stole-mustang-manual-t/43431525 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/would-be-carjackers-foiled-in-seattle-couldnt-drive-stick/ http://www.9news.com/news/crime/attempted-carjacker-couldnt-drive-a-stick-shift/266593143 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/carjacker-ditches-vehicle-drive-stick-shift-article-1.2116880 http://www.sltrib.com/home/3468879-155/carjacking-ends-because-would-be-thief-cant
  17. These days having a manual might be a pretty good deterrent to have your vehicle stolen.
  18. @Mopar1973Man do you dump yours in a septic tank? I assume you aren't on a city sewer system. I assumed that the chemicals in RV toilets will mess with the septic's bacteria.
  19. Just bustin' your chops. You may very well fill up your grey tank, especially with kids that tank can fill up fast if you don't manage your water use. Black tank probably won't fill up, unless you load up on taco bell before going out. You can fill it with a hose at the dump station to help flush it. I use to dump my water jug down it on my way home. The ice help break things up.
  20. Does true camping also involve the ability to watch movies?
  21. Filling the grey and black tanks is the easy part! Dumping them is pretty simple. If you camp in a spot with full hook ups don't leave your dump valves open. You'll end up with a tank full of solids that will be difficult to flush out. Wait until they are fairly full before dumping. Dump the black (sewer) first and then the grey (sinks, tub/shower). Many places that rent RVs have a spot to dump your tanks. Leveling the trailer isn't to bad. Hopefully the trailer has some type of level indication. I liked to take a couple 2x6's and a shovel to help me get it level.
  22. You didn't leave a rag anywhere inside the intake did you? I assume you used something to keep things covered while you changed your IP.
  23. Good to hear you got it figured out. Which injectors did you go with?
  24. My wife and I went that route a time or two. It is not a bad deal if you only go out a couple of times a year. One big con is the packing and unpacking that you have to do each trip as you can't store stuff in the trailer. Because of having to take all of your stuff out each time you are going to forget to put essentials back in on another trip. It will be the small thing that you won't notice until you need it...like matches, toilet paper, or soap. If that is the route I was going to use I would keep all those things in a Rubbermaid container so that I could easily put it back in the next rental for the next trip. The nice thing about renting is that you are not making payments on something that sits in your yard for the majority of the time and you don't have to worry about repairs.
