Bummer. Happy 4th everyone! I'll post some pics later today.

Anyone?

I'm going again this year. Who's going to join me? Pic from last year and link to parade application. http://cityofbethany.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Parade_Application-2016.pdf

This help?

Wait now, OP says manual transmission. He's either wrong or the trucks been modified (even possible?). If he's wrong about the trans he might be wrong about the model year. Crappy pic but I don't see any CTIS either...

Magnetic cup holders, genius!

Nah, the inside of most vehicles are full of projectiles anyway; cooler, tools, chains, whatnot. Thanks! No, didn't think about HF for the magnets, wish I had! They are 25#er's from Amazon.

So I decided to outfit my truck with a 5lb fire extinguisher. Not sure if/where it would have been mounted when in service so I decided to improvise. I devised a simple mount made of wood and magnets. Best part is there lots of different places to mount it on an all metal truck. Hope you like...

How about a small triangle file? Try recutting it by hand? Or just grind off the bad thread until you get to good thread? You only need 7 good threads for max holding power anyway.

Also, removing the battery and start switches from the dash make it a lot easier to maneuver the panel.

Great description, thank you! So $50 for a rotor, $25 for a pulley, I'm half way to a new clone setup right there and that doesn't count resistors or anything else that's gone wrong. Smart money says go clone, along with almost every member here. I'm thrifty but not stupid, so I'll go clone...

Point me to this?

Attended a Memorial Day car show. About 200 kids and parents climbed in and out and took pics. Wife brought the dogs up and we had lunch together mid way thru. Had a blast!

She might not be charging I appreciate the input so far guys. So I finally got around to testing my alternator output and it's low. 24.4v, 22.1v with the lights on as the TM says. The TM says to remove the hex plug and turn the adjusting screw ccw to increase the output volts to 27.8 to 28.2v...
