    Help Needed With Fog Light Wiring!!!

    Using a Voltmeter or a Multimeter will help tremendously!!!! I would suggest using that rather that scratching cables against the metal. ..................just a thought...............

    Should I sell?

    My 2 cents is that I also wondered what if i sell my trucks, but then I take a look out the window and realize that i know them in and out and down the line they are dependable gas guzzlers. I rather lose on gas than lose on repairs or worse, bad accident that i cant walk away from. I know for...

    so, in other words, it would be a better idea to tow it on a trailer rather than flat out.

    Towing 2nd Gen with Tow Bars? Possible?

    I will need to have a talk with my agent and see what they say. As for towing, Just over the weekend i got to see f150 dragging another f150. Same did the Ram 1500. thats where i got the idea from.

    Towing 2nd Gen with Tow Bars? Possible?

    I was wondering what would it take for me to tow my X behind my Mounty with Tow Bars? (Just like those RVs do) Would i need to install Manual Hubs on the X not to mess up my TC & Tranny? i would imagine towing in Neutral would kill my tranny in no time, and 1k miles is a long trip! Any...

    4.0 SOHC Faster than 5.0HO??????

    Well, When i first got the 5-Oh:eek: i thought i had a bad first to second valve. But come to find out this is how these trucks run. It takes its sweet time to shift, which pisses me off.
