I've got remote window operators ,but if those window cranks are like most you can get a tool to remove them or use a short piece of wire with a sharp 90 degree bend to hook the end of the hair pin clip that secures them . Pry the panel away from the panel and you can look in between and see how they are held on.If you lose the clip you can get replacements at any auto parts store.

You asked about the root cellar we had when I was growing up in northern Wi. We had a well pit that was next to our basement.The well pit was concrete lined, and went from ground level and extended down 8 foot below the basement floor .we had an access to the well pit through the basement and a removable plank floor at the basement floor level for access to the bottom of the pit.When we first moved into the house in 1942 we had a hand pump at ground level,but later my dad installed a pump and pressure tank in the bottom of the well pit, and piped the house with running water.The root cellar was in that part of the well pit that we accessed at the basement floor level .It was lined with shelves for all the canned produce. We had earthan crocks for pickles and saurerkraut.We had a big wood door that sealed the root cellar from the basement and it kept really cold in .I remember it always being damp and smelling musty.You picking those blackberries brings back memories.God bless hodag 56 Art

Mike Sure some beautiful country.I was looking on google earth and found a plane crash site on loon lake south of Secesh Meadows with a very interesting bit of history.Have you ever been to it?Sure nice to hear that your mom is able to get around with you,I'm a couple of years younger than her and had to slow down because of a couple of heart attacks.I sure enjoy reading all the posts from all you members on The Lighter Side Of Mopar ,Kinda reminds me of growing up in Northern Wisconsin.We cut and burned wood ,Carried water from a pump outside Had abig garden where we raised all our vegetables, had three apple trees.My mom canned all those fruits and vegetables and we kept them in a root celler.Thanks again for the pictures,makes me feel like I'm there with you.

Thanks for you replies.I've decided to build my own harness,using the schematics from rburks post of 5 jan. 2011.It looks good and everyone seems satisfied that has used it.It woul be very easy to change the sequence of how the ligts operate if iwas't happy with it. Thanks Art

Thanks for your replies .I've decided to build my harness using the diagrams on rburks post.I've a lot of wiring harnesses,and being that someone else has done all the design on it I'd be crazy not to take advantage of it.I' let everybody know how it tuns out.Thanks Art.

I am thinking about the pros and cons of doing this conversion using heavy duty wire and relays.Have any of you done this conversion?There is a lot of information on other forums,I have to do some thing if I am going to do much night driving. I'd appreciate any of you suggestions. Thanks Art

Had the same problem about the mo. ago,The power to the lift pump from the ecm would quit when the temp got over 170.I could jumper the power to the lift pump and it would start right up and run good. Sounds like a bad ecm.The are several articles that I've read an alternate power supply off a keyed ignition source.I had to have my ecm rebuilt ,but it took the one I used in Fl. three times to do it right.Cost me 800 bucks but runs good now.I think you can get a rebuilt one from cummins ,but they aren't cheap maybe someone out their knows of a reputable rebuilder, because you can't get new ones any more.

I just replaced the vp 44 on my 02 with one from Diesel auto power , it has all new electronics,rebuilt by Industial InInjection.They also include a new return valve.They are a very reputable supplier.

Thank you for your prayer. This is a great time to spend with family and friends,but it's also the time to remember what this day is all about,and reflect on what or God did to save us 2000 years ago.My prayers go out to all of you,may God bless you all.hodag56

What local did you retire from? I retired in 1999 from local 741, but they consolidated it with local 469 in Phoenix about 8 years ago.

Maybe if he learned to speak English he could get a real job.

I 'm a retired plumber and like MnTom said you can silver solder solder (silfos) the or braze them.Regardless your going to have some bucks tied up in them.

Welcome from Arizona.These guys are a great help to any diesel owner.

I had to threaten to dispute the charges on my credit card before they fixed it right.If I had it to do over again I would spend the extra bucks and get a rebuilt one from cummins.

Key on engine off,able to clear codes. Thanks

Just hooked up my new scan2 guage.Tried to clear all those codes .Got the no response message,looks like I'm going to have to get dodge to reflash my ecm,unless somebody has some other ideas.

I think this one was made by Dr. Performance.I were ouread some where that they went out of business,but I googled workhorse performance moduals and it seems they are still around.Thanks

Any one out there ever here of a Workhorse ultimate performance modal?I have one that I took of my truck before I replaced my vp44 and had my ecm rebuilt. I don't know if I should put it back on or not.It did give me a little better mileage.This is what the name tag on the modual says. model stage 3 type fuel/boost part no.2009WH Item no.504125 Lot no.4120-2 date of manufacture 12/16/2008 s/n 00/0050

After weighing all the options, I went ahead and bought as scan2 thru amazon.Thanks for all your posts gang.

Thanks I'll check it out.

Thanks for the info mopartecnician, any particular one you woul suggest ,there's a whole bunch of them on amazon.

Just got thru getting my ecm rebuilt. Truck starts and runs good,but still has lots of codes.p1693,ecu codes 0521,0237,1698,0230,0382,03801689,0118.Doesn't have any check engine lite.Do I have to take my truck to dodge to have my ecm reflashed,or can I just get the codes cleared and get it to pass emissions?
