VP-44 Cooler?
So I had seen where a member had in his sig VP Blower and Heat-sink. Does this work? I know the hardest on a vp is after shut down when the fuel stops moving and the heat of the motor hits it. Just looking at ways to save the vp.

White night rear lighting system
I ran to wires from the relay one to each light. I see no reason to run to relays. Its going to be running off the same power anyways. You can ground to the frame if you want. I grounded to the trailer wire ground and ran it to each light. Just how I am also I had a ton of wire. That relay should work great!.

White night rear lighting system
The lights have a NAPA number Ill find it in a sec. The holders are normal par 54 rubber supports. On the relay you will want a head light relay. rated for 40 amp or more. Most auto stores have them just tell them they are for work lights. 5 or 6 bucks IIRC. - - - Updated - - - Bulbs are $15 to $18 bucks. NAPA# 4509. As for the power the trailer +12 volt will only be hot when the key is turned on. So keyed power to keep from drains and leaving the relay on with no power. Any more questions feel free to ask!

[ATTACH]4163[/ATTACH] - - - Updated - - - The pic might help but yes you will run a +12 volt to the switch as a control. That will go in to the relay as the control. When you have the switch on it feeds +12 to the relay to switch the relay over so that the 12+ from the trailer wireing will power the lights. I know the feeling I learned all this bit by bit Im good at it now.

Yes you would need a switch. One pole will go to the battery of a fuse, the other will go to the relay to trigger the relay. You need a relay because you do not want that much power going through small wires and a switch. In Mike's set up you pull power from the trailer wiring harness. That is a thick wire (not sure on gauge) but it is also switch so it will only be hot when the key is on. The point is you wire the lights to the trailer harness +12 Volts. The relay is used to turn the lights on and off. If not the lights would be on 24/7 when the key is on. Also the trailer wiring is on its own fuse and relay in the main power panel under the hood. - - - Updated - - - Check this out. The only thing I did after that post is water proof the connections. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/threads/5309-Mopar-Man-s-Reverse-Lights!-PICS!

A/C pressures
Im glad I saw this thread. My problem is that the system will run cool then stop. Mostly in stop and go it will go hot. So Im guessing its from high pressure. A orifice tube and drier could be my problem? I mean when the fan blower works (got a new one on order) It will get cold but only for a bit then will run hot cold hot cold. --- Update to the previous post... Also to replace both these parts I will have to discharge my AC system. Ive seen flush kits that use shop air and flush it out. Is that a good idea or should I get a shop to take out the freon and put it back in.

Tires
Tires are stupid Pricey. I went ahead and got a set of Treadwrights on sale for $400. (Best deal for a broke college student like I) IICR It was a 2 year warranty on anything. They last around 60-70K. Ive had mine for 15K no problems work great and grip like crazy. Will buy again. https://treadwright.com/

vents not moving
Same thing happend on my cummins. Check all the vac lines. One goes to the driver battery for the cruse. Another to the 4X4 if you have it and one more to the AC. That one will go up to the Vac T and over the motor to the pass side fire wall.
