  1. so the vanity mirror lights work.. bulb is good, guess that leaves ground potentially or a connection issue with the pink wire going to the dome light itself.
  2. my radio works fine, you know what I can't recall if the mirror lights work in the visor, the map lights could have their own isolated problems I suppose, maybe it is just a dome light issue...... I will run out to the truck in a few minutes to check and report back. fuse 17, and it is good
  3. in the famous words of my children, "huh?"
  4. fuse #12 in the drivers side dash panel is good. Not certain if any other fuse applies.
  5. Alright, I guess if I am going to spend some time on the truck this weekend maybe I should open this can of worms.. None of the courtesy lights in the truck work. When I acquired the truck the previous owner said they were all fine until Best Buy put in the stereo. Something they did screwed up the lights. Is this something anyone has heard of, or has an idea of where to start? Thank You
  6. Thank you, might have to do it twice :-)
  7. Well I wouldn’t touch that pot an arm, it’s disgusting.. and I have intermittent power steering, hmmmmmm... weather is supposed to be good this weekend, might be time for a grease cleansing. thank you for the info
  8. I will teach my son how to do it. :-) it only drips a drop here or there, but it gets my wife fired up when the driveway is a mess. :-)
  9. I don't like it all over my driveway, so hoping for a solution, I would rather drain and clean a catch can every couple months, than scrub my driveway all the time.
  10. That would be oil though, correct? It definitely wasn't oil on the driveway yesterday. I have been noticing more oil drips from my Moparman ccv mod though, anyone run a catch can on these?
  11. My drip was pretty far forward.
  12. It has the correct fluid in it, seems like for it to be able to drop right straight down to the driveway that it may be the steering box leaking.
  13. My oil is black, this fluid was yellowish like the ps fluid, I will get it in the garage tonight where it’s level ground and check the ps fluid level.
  14. I think what I thought was an oil leak may be at least partly ps fluid. Truck parked nose down on my sloped driveway has a nice clean puddle under it, not black like normal. Looks like ps fluid.. where to start digging?..
  15. I didn’t realize NAPA GAVE 20% discount to AAA members will these fit? I don’t like amazon but have a gift card I need to use up.
  16. Have a part# for the flasher?
  17. Don’t do this in California state
  18. Mike, I wish I was your neighbor, I would love to cut wood, work on Cummins, focus on free energy, etc. together. I sense you are a little burned out on your situation, but I doubt if we sat down and discussed it that you would want to trade with me. I sense you are frustrated, and I am sure your personal health issue didn’t help. BUT, take care of your mom, she birthed you, just going to give up and let her die???? I doubt it... i get it it that you are currently frustrated with your position, but it could be a lot worse, try to keep the positive mindset on the forefront. We all have our problems, but that is called LIFE. I am proud to support someone like you that lives how you do, take that for what it’s worth to you. Brian
  19. I think the 3% processing fee would be cheap in comparison? no?
  20. Mike, we are all driven at some level to want better for ourselves. I have learned over the years that balance is the key to life. Life is built on our experiences, and I generally find we want to experience what we haven’t yet experienced. I have a great wife and three kids at home. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything, but working a 12+ hour a day Groundhog Day makes me want to experience your quiet free life. See my path here? “Grass isn’t always greener” but the “grass may be different” on the other side. If my mom needed the care that you provide for your mother, something else in my life will suffer. I am happy to be a part of your life (this computer screen) which you provide some space for me to escape the chaos. I don’t know what’s best or worst circumstance, but I do know it all requires some balance. ULTIMATELY I want to say thank you for the time you spend at that computer monitor which provides some balance for me. Please let me know if I can help provide some balance for you.
  21. You will know if you find one that “Gets it” if if you can’t find that one, single is better in my opinion Mike. I apologize if it is lonely, but it’s better than the drama that potentially comes with it,
  22. How much inverter do you need to run that?
  23. Batteries, cheap, inverters, not cheap ? well except I have only played in the marine world where NOTHING IS CHEAP...
  24. yes, but this requires an inverter to run, correct?
  25. can you get LED lighting easily in 24V?
