yes, i did

sounds like either a short up front, or a possible failure in the turn signal switch assembly.

Worth your time, just listening to him. frogalicious

did you have to drill? Do you have any pics/video? I know how you like to document

3rd gear clutch-dump at idle

Sweet! I saw one on there for $249 on there, but it was a different part number..

dont happen to have a kit # do ya?

thanks! Yeah, I'm so 'on the fence'.. The fronts, I can see me ending up with Timbrens, as the only additional weight I see up front is the plow in the winters. however, I tend to carry varying load weights/trailers at random times, so an adjustability in load support is crucial.Whatever happened to the 200-250$ air bag setups? LOL Now they're like 300+..ISX, are there pics of your air bags on here, installed?

I'm late to the party, but that's the same thing I did, awhile back

I built mine for $16, and works like a champ, but thanks!

Thanks, guys, for your opinions. And jwelding, I fully understand the different answers I will get, depending on who/where one asks. As a welder, I can see that Timbrens are the better option, as your load-out weight rarely changes. Since I mainly tow on weekends, and my load weight changes (at least the tongue weight), I'm not sure which way is best to go.. I see that Timbrens are the less-expensive option, and the longevity/maintenance seems to be much better of an option.

Ok, I am revisiting this, as it is my current topic of interest.Cliff Notes:I got pulled over because I had a lens missing on my trailer, allowing "white light" to be visible. Upon further inspection, he deemed a number of other issues that 'need attention'...so, my trailer is 25' enclosed. Front has one marker light on each upper corner (forward facing) and one on each lower corner (side facing); no center lights on upper forward-facing panel.Rear has three upper-center lights but no outer upper corner lights (rear-facing.) One red each on rear lower side corners.Truck has no cab clearance lighting."Since you're in excess of 10000 lb gross weight, you need proper clearance lighting (5 on front-top-forward, 5 on rear-top-forward) and cab lighting." Cab lighting??"Additionally, your trailer is extremely tongue-heavy, and you need to either rearrange the loading, or take corrective measures in your tow vehicle's suspension to support the tongue weight."Thank goodness he didn't weigh my overweight trailer! LOLAs for the lighting, that's simple enough. As for the tongue weight, I can't really rearrange the load; the load-out is what it is.So moving on to the truck's obvious 'riding low' in the back, it's dropping the bumper about 3+" when the trailer is hooked up. I am seriously considering adding air bags (roughly $300), rather than separating the spring packs to add leaves or whatever. I'll be adding Timbrens to the front end, to carry the added snow plow weight this winter, but the rear suspension capabilities need addressed now.. Thoughts/comparisons/opinions on this Timbren vs Air Bag debate? Discuss.

DOH :doh:First year DC2

'97?

hellzyeah. Me and stodg73 play about every evening.. you'd better be good, or he'll make you look stupid.. Believe me, I know.. ;)

I'm wondering if my 6-hole handshaker truck has an issue with the APPS, or TPS (whatever) as it seems to 'hunt' or 'surge' a little at steady speed. It's only really noticeable when the ambient temps drop below 70*F..Colder it gets, the more noticeable it is/worse it gets...

Mike? :)I don't have a factory or OE keyfob. Not even sure if my SLT has the OE alarm. But if it does, I'd like to tap into the door locks and see if I can tap the OE arm/disarm with my aftermarket Viper KE system.Just one of my random thoughts..

There are trees in Dallas area?? LOL That aren't Cedar? :)I miss home...

I'd put an external voltage regulator at the alternator output and call it a day, for the spiking.

thanks. It's the Flip UltraHD 2hr 720p DVR. Target has them on clearance. The 1hr version is like 45$

thanks, dave. Ive actually picked up a junkyard solenoid (N/O) for free, that I'll be using for this project.. I just need time to do it now

I got a Flip camera yesterday. So, on my way to work this morning, I decided to try it out.. not too bad for a 70$ camera. I need to get a mount, though... THis is about a 4-5% grade climb, and I'm probably 25-30mph max..

they definitely need an ole-fashioned turd-floater to roll through and spend a couple days hanging over, with a steady rain.. A good 5 day soaker would do wonders..

My mom and sister, both, have lake houses at Whitney. Mom sent me a picture of the lake and it looks absolutely terrible, how low it is (-16ft.) Sis said Lake Travis (in Austin) is even worse looking.. Lake Travis: Level is 47.63 feet below full pool of 681.00

Mike - how you guys get those 500+lb cross-sections into the truck, let alone, stacked that high?
