    Voltmeter bulb

    I am getting ready to order new LEDs for my dashlights and need a little help, I am going through superbrightled.com and had no problem finding the 168/194 style bulb for everything. The problem is the -20p tm lists the voltmeter bulb as 1445 and I see no replacement for it. Is there another...

    1ton, thats a good idea, I never thought of that but I think if I tinker with this a little more I have the potential for a little more RPM outa this than going your way

    reflective tape removal

    JH1, I tried the razor blade and it just breakes off in small pieces, There was also lettering on the doors and it came right off with a razor blade, no problem, this stuff is tough! WB1895 thanks for the idea, I did not know there was such a thing, if heat does not work, I try that next.

    Lighting relays/suggestions.

    I agree with this, energize the relay with 12v and run the 24v through the switch portion, as long as you dont exceed the amperage of the relay, you should be fine.

    Another "Whats this??"

    This is attached to the throttle assembly under the dash. It looks like a small rehostat or something. I didnt know if maybe it has something to do with the tranny kickdown or something but you have to be WAY into the throttle before it moves. I also didnt know if these trannys had any type of...

    reflective tape removal

    My truck was used by a fire dept and as you can see in the pics they put reflective tape down the sides of it. I cannot get this stuff off! I have tried glue gone, brake cleaner, contact cleaner and no luck. In the last pic you can see how the stuff just breaks off when you try and peel it. I...

    Fair radio order, not impressed...

    I got my AB-15 base and mast sections in today from fair radio and I am not impressed at all. The base is packed with mud and the mast stub is so rusted above the rubber sleeve that its flaking off in chunks, the ground strap and clamp are so rusted as to probably not be salvagable. The mast...
