The truck when...

    New turn signal issue tonight

    I still need to find a surplus trailer, some people on this form have swapped the rear axle out, or have coverted the tongue with a hydraulic actuator. Ill cross that bridge when i get there. Probably will get into more than i can chew but have to learn somehow.

    New turn signal issue tonight

    Im thinking of doing that. They are fairly new being 2019 autocraft golds with a 3 year warranty. The only reason i think there's a draw is because it fired up fine the night before and the only thing i noticed when the truck was wouldnt turn over was the service switch to be in the one position.
