Went to the tire shop and then hole ended up being to big to plug so I guess I'm getting some new tires. Also going to debadge and detrim the truck in the morning.

Well I tried using the members ride page but it would not let me post on my stuff. Also I like hearing opinions about my truck so Ill make a blog here and just copy what Ive done to here from cummins form then keep it up to date! --- Update to the previous post... Well its been a month or so Ive not been on DB. Been to busy with finals and work. But I thought instead of a bunch of posts about what all I did to the truck Ill just make one super giant post. First off I finally got my sound system installed to the truck. A sony Headunit with usb and aux inputs 6X9 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the doors 6.5 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the back doors (I bit to big but I made the speaker opening bigger with a saw zaw.) 2 MTx 10's in a thunderform box and a 1000 watt alpine class D amp Next I replaced the interior lights with LED's. Also found a write up on cummins forum on fixing the map light switch so I did that to. Its soooo much brighter I can now see the floorboards at night. --- Update to the previous post... Lastly I plasti-diped my wheels. This stuff is great. Super easy to put on stands up to anything and if you don't like it it will pull off like tape. Also got my 300,000 mile badge :tu: Going to black out the bumpers grill and running boards next. Ill be posting that to here. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/dc8806de.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/2fe7e583.jpg --- Update to the previous post... Well I got the grill sprayed its not the best but I plan on keeping it till I run up on a new grill to put on thats not all burned from the heat gun http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/8f6ce7dc.jpg --- Update to the previous post... Painted the back bumper http://img.tapatalk.com/4b5b9ff4-caec-84a5.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/4b5b9ff4-cb02-5228.jpg --- Update to the previous post... Heres the bumper now.... http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/16aab6eb.jpg --- Update to the previous post... So to add to my list of things to do this weekend I picked up a high idle box. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/DSC03646.jpg It's incredibly handy in the winter for faster warmup or even the summer time for cold AC. The left switch is the IAT switch, the center is the 3/6 cylinder selector, and the right switch is the ECT switch to force high idle a warm engine. I should have a bit of fun with it. --- Update to the previous post... Painted the front bumper. http://img.tapatalk.com/48ac3918-00d5-155f.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/48ac3918-00e5-c7be.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/48ac3918-00f6-ac66.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/48ac3918-0104-0830.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/48ac3918-0110-1732.jpg Sent from my iPhone --- Update to the previous post... So This weekend I installed my projector fog light housings. They have a 6000k HID and white halo ring. Matches better than the stock lights also wont burn up like the stock lights. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/199e2513.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/1758e8b1.jpg --- Update to the previous post... Well After several weekends I FINELY got these suckers hooked up! Been waiting on time and parts. So I got 2 of the 100 watt spots and mounted them to the axle with 2 pipe bands each. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/a0421182.jpg Took a while to find out what wires went where in this mess that some one made for me. There are wires coming and going everywhere! http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/ec362b43.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/6e9e9a04.jpg Put the relay on the inside of the frame after I did a waterproof job with some tape and got it up out of the way. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/5c61f8e0.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/5c61f8e0.jpg Next I ran my switched power and a ground to the lights. I ran a ground just to play it safe and have a ton of wire on hand. Ran the wires in that plastic wire covering, through the frame rails and down to the axle. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/2361ad17.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/f14f7fe6.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/b0fafb8c.jpg Lastly I ran the wires to each light zip tieing the wire to the axle. And man them suckers are bright. Cant wait to try them out later! http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/5d66bd1d.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/4b066b2a.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/465ce71e.jpg Shot of headlights. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/50ea3320.jpg --- Update to the previous post... So this week 2/20/2012 Ive just done some here and there stuff to the truck. Got a flat on the way to college ended up being late but good news I can change a flat in 7 minutes "flat". http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/f78bba03.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/65b59963.jpg Rewired my fog halo's had a wire loose. Also coated the connections in waterproofing. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/724fb554.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/9b4d198e.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/28c3fd7b.jpg Lastly I fixed my cup holder my friend broke. Ive been kidding with her that the cables have a 300 pound breaking point. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n634/baconbitsforu/54d82f87.jpg

Well I got a can of that electric tape sealer stuff for .25 cents (Got to love haveing a friend who works at a hardware store DISCOUNTS!!!) so Ill coat what ever I find down there with the stuff that should work fine.

So My trucks starting is hit and miss. It will crank on a key bump sometimes then others it sounds like I have dead battery's and barely turns over. I'm guessing its the contacts but I figure this starter is at most 309,000 miles on it. So I guess my question is do I need to just get the contact and plunger kit or the whole easy rebuild for 20 bucks more... Going to clean my contacts this weekend on the battery and look at the ones on the starter.

I have a 2 Honda atvs. I'm best guess is because of the environment there used for. I mean a goldwing is not going to ride in a river, a mud hole, or dusty off road trails. Sent from my iPhone

Yea What would you suggest I use in place of the scotch locks? I was going to just coat the whole thing in liquid elec tape... And the wires that are just hanging there. Im in Texas so no problems with it not working. Also The hack job some one did before me was on there 300,000 miles so far.

Yea I'm going to fix that problem tonight. My main problem of not being able to find the +12 volt. Turns out that the breaker in the PDC was missing. So I took the blower one off and put it in the trailer spot and all systems go! Sent from my iPhone

Well tax return time is coming around the bend so Im going to get a new lift pump. So I was thinking its between the Raptor or the Air dog. I priced the raptor at 350 and airdog around 600. It it worth the extra coin for the airdog? My plans are Little bit bigger injectors 75 max and be able to turn up the smary. Thanks guys.

I'm really glad I got the smarty over the edge Sent from my iPhone

Ok... got the wiring plan done... wire and lamps acquired. My last question is where does one get the rubber tractor mounts. I can find them all day with a bulb in them already. I really don't want to pay 15+ a light just to have a bulb I cant use. So you have a place I might be able to find these?

So I going to try to start a blog on my truck. I have them spread around different forms but I'm going to bring it all down to one forum here. Have a bunch of Pictures just need to get it in order. So This weekend I installed my projector fog light housings. They have a 6000k HID and white halo ring. Matches better than the stock lights also wont burn up like the stock lights.

You dont have to be a sponge if you done want. Talked about trucks, time zones, jobs, fire fighting, stupid dash cracks. Its kinda what ever you want to chat about.

I use an older powerpc at work and it works just fine. I would uninstall flash and reinstall. also it might help to clear the pram and nvram. You can do this my Shutting down the computer unplug for 60 sec. Then plug back in and hold the command+option+p+r before the start screen dont let go of these keys untill it restarts and sounds the mac sound twice.
