    Replacing the running lights in the bumpers

    I got the conversion lights from hella, they are way better than the cheap conversions you can get in the auto parts store, I paid $130 for the glass and I am also running 90w/120w bulbs with a headlight brightening kit(its a auxillary harness that draws power directly from the battery, the...

    Replacing the running lights in the bumpers

    you wouldnt be able to use the same power source for the lights themselves, but could use it for triggering the relay. you will need to splice in a second power connection , since the factory setup for the lights is that all the power runs through the bo/service switch and then to the bo switch.

    Replacing the running lights in the bumpers

    you could do that for sure, i wouldn't use the original switch though, unless you use a relay to operate the lights.

    reverse in the transmissions of most trucks (someone confirm this) are straight cut, so you have stronger gears but loud at speed.

    24v CUCV Starter

    thats a great price. If i didnt have a spare already..... underdog, get a ford starter relay, then trigger it to send juice to the starter solinoid. that way you can get a cheap switch and never have issues with it again.

    Trip from MI to WI and back

    yup, a month too late for the ferry, darn there goes that idea. I'll just drive through the outskirts of chicago, since he's in madison, it would add a lot of driving to go north considering that i am near the southern end of michigan.

    Starter and Flexplate/Flywheel question

    check to be sure that the machined surface that the starter mounts to on the block is square to the flywheel. also be sure you have the correct bolts, there is a commone bolt that you can get at the auto parts store that kinda fits. the issue is that this bolt is too long and will bottom out in...

    correct Bilstein shock size for m1009

    did he pull them for a diesel blazer? I know that the front shocks on my truck are short compared to the rears. Do your front springs have a negative arc? (meaning the center is the highest point of the spring) If not then you have a mild lift on your truck.

    Whats the best 3/4 ton 4" lift on the market

    the front springs can be narrower on the 1/2 tons. the one ton runs a wider spring up front. measure it and be sure you get one with the same width springs.
