Doubletrouble

All led lights will do this to a point. They just don't put out enough heat to melt the snow and ice.

Have you changed tires for track day? Mine tripped the lights because the wheel rpm did not match the tire size entered into the ecm. It was out of range for that tire size and set the lights. Once a buddy hooked his scanner to it we found the axle ratio was entered wrong, tire size was wrong as well. Once entered correctly all has been well for 2 years now. Long story short, if you changed tire size to much for track day it may throw the lights on.

Me too!

Oh no!

I like to update this. I installed the dipstick today. On @Genos Garage website it states that you need to just swap the handle of the dipstick (if your replacing it because of the broken handle). I broke the handle of mine by leaning on it. OOPS. I ordered from Genos, received my new dipstick and swapped handles today. Super simple to do. I believe the new one will not work due to it not having the spiral towards the end. It gets hung up in the curve of the dipstick tube. To swap the handles you simply drive out the small roll pin, remove the handles and install the new handle on your original stick. Done.

Have you checked all the ground wires? Make sure everything is grounding properly. You said you checked fuses, did you check in both fuse panels? There is one under the hood and the other on the driver's side of the dash.

I'm not sure if the wiring is under mine, I just figured I would run new wire from my switch in the cab to the lights and then a ground wire of course.

@Andyba20, my truck didn't come with them from factory. I considered getting a factory switch with the fog light combo but I already have some empty switches to use thats all. Your right though, should be very little draw and nearly plug and play. @IBMobile, yes they also have them on Amazon, I would prefer to get them there also. I just happened to have the screen shot from ebay.

Just curious if anyone has tried these. They're similar in appearance and design to the Harley Davidson day maker headlight. I have one on my bike and it's very bright. I would not be powering these through the factory headlight switch, rather use one of the switches in my switch panel. They also have the halo if you want to hook that up. May just power both the halo and light on dame switch. Not sure yet. Haven't ordered them yet, still debating.

As the title states, I tried some LED headlights. I did a little research on what kind of LED will work in a housing designed for halogen bulbs. Long story short these are the type of bulb to use. According to what I read and the videos I watched the placement of the LED chips is important. I bought these bulbs off of Amazon for $39/pair. They're plug and play. Simple as changing a headlight bulb.lol So far I am happy with the results. I only had the opportunity to drive the truck to work at 3am to test. I believe I need to adjust them down. I didn't get flashed but there were only a few other cars on the road. Pic is a bit fuzzy but you can see how bright they are. I also tried the high beams and they were definitely aimed to high. I will play with the adjustment when I get a chance. I am happy with the amount of light they put out, way more than the plain Jane 9004's that were in there. Also gives it a bit more modern look as well. For $39 I feel I got my money's worth. If anyone is interested in the bulbs or the videos I watched to lead me to this purchase I will post links soon.

That was a good video. I think it's very important for safety sake and for not breaking your truck in half to load things correctly.

My cousin Vinny! Great flick!

Until the technology is much much better and reliability issues sorted along with all the problems involved with the production of EV's I will stick with what I know, the internal combustion engine. Whether it be diesel or gasoline its tried and true. Gas milage has come a long way in the past 20+ years with both. Reliability and power have increased as well. I realize that one day in the future the IC engine will most likely be obsolete but in my lifetime I don't see that being the case. As they introduce and improve new EV's and other alternatives along with them they will become more common place with the upcoming generations and gain more of a following I'm sure. We have seem this with other advancements through our lifetime. From encyclopedias to Google, carbs to fuel injection, land lines to mobile phones and so on. As for me, my old school, non politically correct, set in my ways, stubborn, unwilling to accept radical change generation X ***, I will keep my oil/gas burners. I'm still salty that we never got the jetpack to fly around town like they said we'd have by now.

More voodoo! Like that hand held lava wand Mike posted up! How much water would a vehicle have to carry on board to provide a reasonable milage range? Would one have to pull a trailer with a water tank on it to drive say 300 miles?

What kind of black magic voodoo is that?! A mechanics magic wand to turn steel to lava!

I don't remember when I ordered it but it showed up today already along with the little extras Genos likes to toss in there for ya. Always enjoy the little things they send! Thanks once again @Genos Garage for the prompt service and for having what I needed. You guys rock!

I don't think that truck ever leaves the garage! It's super clean! I must ask @W-T, not to hi-jack this thread but, what's the purpose of 2 fuel lines going into the vp44? It's early and the coffee has not kicked in yet.

Ordered the new dipstick from Genos Garage. I'll have to swap the handles but not a big deal. At least it will be fixed and I know it to be accurate.

That's pretty good.

I have the same issue, I think it's some sort of dark magic...lol

@AH64ID, I guess your right, it is a long bed. Looking at it now on my laptop I see it. Didn't notice it on my phone. My fault. Still, after looking at it on a larger screen, I dont think the camper itself is very well balanced plus the motorcycle on the rear adds weight way behind the axle. I also believe the frame may be partly at fault, I would expect it to be a little better built.

@Mopar1973Man, bike is fuel injected. I did unhook the battery. Stabil in the tank and ran it for a few minutes to work it through.

Thanks @IBMobile, I think I was having a moment of laziness. Seem most have the "new" part number which is shorter. May just order from Genos and swap the handle to insure accuracy. @Tractorman, there is more to add to that but I will keep it clean here on the site.

I'm in need of a new dipstick. I leaned on mine and broke the handle off. I was able to get the remainder out of the tube. The tube itself is fine. Just need a new dipstick. I checked @Genos Garage but the one they have says tou have to pull the handle off the new one and put it on the oem metal part.

I will be hitting the scale with my 5th wheel come spring just as a precaution. I believe I'm well within the limits but just for piece if mind. At least my 5th wheel hitch rests just ahead if the rear axle per installation instructions from e-trailer. That guy had some serious leverage going on there, plus it is a short bed which would shorten the back half of the frame exaggerating the issue.
