Time for the ORD brace kit?

It happened several rides after replacing the taillight socket, and all the markers appear to still be working. And the issue occurs with the parking light setting, where the headlights are off, and with the headlights on. But yeah, I'll check the mentioned grounds, and any more I can find.

To be honest guys, I'm not sure what I would be looking for in the TM to try to figure this one out. The 09 sat for a few weeks since I last had to move it, and when I went to take her out last night, the right turn signal indicator was half-lit as soon as I turn on the park/headlights...

And Geico will do you better? AmFam was more than cool with it, when I said it's just a K5 with stiffer springs and a diesel. Offered to send pics and they didn't even care. But I have a pretty chill agent.

This also reminds me of my wondering why cars don't have trunk battery posts for jumping. Or amp hookup :p

Ah, good to know. Well, like I said, now I use it for pressure reading, so at least in my truck's case it's not just sitting there going to waste.

That looks like the part near where I tapped for my oil pressure sensor. Driver's side of the radiator right? Might be for bleeding though? Either way, I made sure it was tight while I was messing with it. I don't expect mine to go any time soon.

There's a specific 12v feed for the stock lighter somewhere? I just tapped a random always-on 12v port on the fuse block. My fuse block is getting a little dangerous anyway, I need to make some more reliable always on/ignition/accessory wiring blocks.

This is why my next upgrade now that the radio is installed is an electric fuel pump, along with a fuel pressure sensor (gauge already installed, see my previous post above).

Would have done it long ago if i'd known the shaft style cutouts were actually just behind that cover plate.

Finally finished my RetroSound radio install before the float I just went on over the weekend, had tunes the whole way for the first time ever. Used LMC speakers in the dash in the factory locations (I think) to get 4 channels of sound. Got my dash all buttoned up and all my bulbs working...

Never got around to this myself, ended up fabbing a mount using the included winch base.

And GPs are easy to test with a multimeter too, if you know how to use one to test resistance.

Fixed a leaky yoke! Couldn't believe that was the problem. Put on a replacement yoke, but in the meantime I've used NAPA ultra black silicone sealant on the original one, and it seems to be holding, so now I have a spare.

Tankie, you got any tips on the front swaybar bushing job? State inspector said mine are about to fall apart. Are they at least referred to by that name in the TM?

:(

Finally sat down to build my custom trailer wiring adapter. Instead of using the T-One connectors (that require two spliced together on CUCVs, unlike civvy trucks) I made a weatherpack inline adapter. You can have both your civvy plug and NATO plug wired up all the time. Going to get a mounting...

I think forklift door was a dealer installed option.

Herewego, I was reading a long Pirate4x4 thread about the TH400 sending unit, apparently that's a pressure test port. They think there's not normally fluid flowing past that spot in park, so I'd keep that in mind when reading your gauge. It seems there's a lot of debate on the optimal spot...

Herewego: Just looked and saw it for myself now. That's awesome. Do you know what the threading was that your unit s then? I'm guessing it's an NPT. I bought another Autometer Autogage 2355 to use as a transmission temp indicator, it comes with 1/8 NPT, 3/8 NPT and 1/2 NPT, hoping one of...
