  1. Is that an 'off-shore' drilling platform in the background ? What a great looking truck you have ........ Truck of the Month ??
  2. Just put new rubber on both trucks .... '91.5 W250 ...... BFGoodrich KO2's 265 x 75R-16E ...... seem ok so far '02 2500 4x4 .... Michelin LTX M/S2 ...... 285 x 75R-16E .... smoothest, most quiet tire I've ever run .... mostly pavement miles for this truck.
  3. Sorry for the old thread ..... checked horns, relay and fuse ..... all ok Clockspring is broken. Here's the 'eyeopener' ....... Mopar clockspring $358.44 + 12% tax = $401.45 Mopar partsman sells an aftermarket clockspring $129.50 + 12% tax = $145.04 Any of you fellas had any issues with an aftermarket spring? Kinda' pricey!
  4. It was a Kenwood KDC-MP435U that I removed from my '02 Regular Cab, with a Sony Xplod 600 amp, and a EFX 10" with speaker box ..... The OEM Mopar radios have big buttons, and aren't too complicated ..... perfect for a guy with five thumbs per side! The OEM optional 'RAZ' unit has good sound .... Thanks for the speaker info ..... much appreciated.
  5. me78569 ..... have installed the P04704383 .... It will show the time with the ignition off. Push the volume knob in. Have no idea what the auxiliary input is for, or can do ...... Will probably change out the stock speakers at some time .... replace with a higher quality 'stock replacement' type. Any recommendations ? Weighed the boom box speaker, amp, all wiring, radio - handheld changer, and mounting panel under the amp = 41lbs. It's nice to get the OEM optional radio installed. Now have room behind the seat ..... Thanks for answering my questions .... much appreciated. www.allpar.com .... is a good website concerning these Mopar OEM radios. Lots of info there.
  6. Just an up-date ...... the two pin socket is for steering wheel controls, and won't affect anything if you don't have them. Greg
  7. I would gladly do that, but the radio has two seals on it, and there is no warranty if they've been broken. The auxiliary comes off the front lower right .... The pics of the rear of the radio show the two pin socket. Thanks Greg
  8. Hope these show enough Mike ..... The metal bracket appears to be from the factory, but I don't know. Thanks Mike.
  9. me78569 ...... good info, thank you. I just received my P04704383 in the mail yesterday. It has the auxiliary input installed. On the back of the radio, there are two tabs that appear to be electrical connections, although the tabs are part of the radio chassis. Also, there is a two pin plug beside the black and grey big plugs. My wiring harness suffered some butchery, and that plug is missing. Any idea what it is? Sorry for the simplistic questions .......... Thanks
  10. Hoping someone will know what this plug is for ..... Have an '02 RCLB 5speed There is a plug below the ashtray in my truck. It has a double row of 8 sockets (16) and the sockets are small. It appears to be factory installed, but I just don't know. The wiring is lengthy, and the excess was coiled up behind the kick panel - drivers side. I've been de-installing the boom box sound system, and have a RAZ (optional-non Infinity) radio. It has the auxiliary input ... Any info on the plug would be much appreciated ....
  11. I'll be replacing the Kenwood/Sony-Boombox audio stuff with the OEM optional P04704383 AM/FM CD-Cassette. This OEM unit has been modified with an auxiliary input .... Allpar.com has lots of good Mopar audio info. Would using ArmorAll or some other type 'protective', say a week ahead of the removal, make the plastic less brittle? Anyone tried it?
  12. 3.54 limited slip, 5 speed. Larger pipe-no muffler, BHAF, Edge/Attitude Odd-ball blue .....
  13. Happened to me too ..... mine knocked over my neighbor's fence before I could jump in and hit the clutch. Always wanted to be a fence builder anyway! Greg
  14. Didn't know that this info was available ...... good stuff! Much appreciated.Will be sending a link to friends.In both trucks, the engine noise went down very noticeably ..... more so in the 12valve.ThanksGreg
  15. '91.5 Dodge W250 with 500,000km ....... got a dose of TC-W3 yesterday. Very much quieter at idle. I'll be hauling about 1100lbs. next week. This is an 800km (500mi) trip. The 'torture test' ........Thanks again for the 2 cycle info.Greg$31.15 per U.S. gallon ...... ouch!Will be shopping around for cheaper TC-W3 ....
  16. Question concerning fuel additives .....Is all TC-W3 created equal ?Cheapest that I've found so far ....... $8.23 per litre / 1.057 U.S. quart. This includes the tax.I'm trying it for the first time in my 1st Generation .... '91.5Have used 'Howes Lubricator' for many years. Would you dis-continue using the Howes ?ThanksGreg
  17. Did a search, and was able to see a wiring diagram for an '02 (mine's an '02)...Checked the 20a fuse, and it's good.What would the probable problem be? Where to look?Thank you, Greg
  18. Happy lookin' family .... fun road trips!If I may ask ..... Is that flatdeck set-up new?Is there any major design changes you would like?What would the cost be for a changeover like yours.It suits your truck, and it'll be much more versatile.Thanks, Greg
  19. Thank you JRDidn't know the 'specs' of the Walmart brand, so couldn't cross-reference it with a known brand here.Is 'ashless' a spec for the Two Cycle type lubricants?Will look for something tomorrow.
  20. Super Tech TCW-3 Unavailable / unknown at Walmart stores in British Columbia .....
  21. 'scares me' ? ..... hide under the bed ! The late Marty Feldman ..... English comedian.
  22. Google search ....... SuperTech 2 Cycle oil ... made by Penzoil/Quaker State.Much for/against info on Cummins/Dodge web sites.I'll give TCW-3 a try.
  23. So .... what do ya'll use in your fuel? What are the 'specs' of your additive? Frequency and amount?Canadian availability and different 'specs' may be an issue here.
