man, how do you find out about these things? haha. i think my truck needs a repainting before i show it off..

If the truck feels fine, id wait until youd test everything before you start worrying, it may be the gauge. Where was this trail ride? im interested. Havnt meet anyone else on the island yet with another cucv

thanks to wikipedia, i now have a basic understanding of what your talking about. Those ir filters with the gen one stuff sounds pretty badass, but i have way too much light around here to be able to use it or enjoy it

what do you mean by generation? i dont know much about that stuff, haha..

wait IR filters and nightvision? do tell.. haha

Just wondering, i use mine when im warming it up a night for the hell of it, or when im offroading and theres other vehicles around or im near the borders of the property to avoid attracting attention. Or just a stealth mode while messing with friends, (as steathly as i could be with a deisel)...

im not much of an electrical guy either. whats the significance of using half the amps?

you're awesome. Thank you!

damn guess i missed it. Anyone know the autozone or general light number or such? The guy at the counter told me it was the same as my sidemarker one (which by feeling the contact was dead wrong, it feels like it has a cylinder base on the bulb, not the thin glass with 2 contacts on it)

Whats the part number for the courtosy light? Thanks

nice, just curious, why did you swap it out?

Yeah im gonna bring it to my mechanic. Can a short be caused by a fried starter. Traced it there but im hearing it cant

Is it hard to take it appart, dont wanna mess with it if the shops gonna give me issues and i cant deal with it myself..

The wha is missing? ill check the tm for what that is/where its suppose to be. This is the first time i had the starter down, but i looked at it before, looks the same, says 24v on the side. Only took him a day or 2 to have it rebuilt by his "starter guy". Im worried he just didnt touch it and...

Yeah, i went out today and basically removed the starter cable from the bracket, and tried to start her and i got the click under the dash and thats it, no short no nothing. I do have my accesory power now though (my wiring was poor, fixed that) So, i put the starter cable back on the end of the...

Andddd im even closer to the problem. I got all my accesories working, but she just would click alot and melt the terminals when i went to crank it. So i disconnected the wire to the starter, went to start and just a click from the relay. I put the wire back on the edge of the bolt its mounted...

Okay well, i think im getting closer to the problem... I go out tonight to test the ground off the front battery and it checked out. I figure i may as well test the connection from the battery to the firewall connection on the drivers side (dist block? i already replaced the fusible link there...

Well, i replaced the busted cable end, put it on and still no go. No start, no lights, no nothing, still dead as a doornail. The battery system is working now. 24v across both. Im not good with electrical and i replaced the fusible links i saw blow. I have a voltmeter now. My question is, what...

and the solution.... So, im outside with the voltmeter i finally found and i got two very odd results, the oppposite of what i expected. When i crossed both batteries, i got 0, should have been getting 24v. When i put the voltmeter on the neg of the rear battery and poss of the front battery i...

i mean if i cant get the jumper cables to spark when i have em running across both batteries i highly suspect the wire between the two batteries. It looks intact with no marks, i mean is it possible the wire is compromised without looking like it? I also tried to run the jumpers from the neg...
