Thanks, The rust Bullet on the frame and the durabak as undercoating are working well. The OD green durabak has lost its shine which is good, but gets stained with mud. After you wash it off there is a ghost image left over. I'm happy with it but may try something different on the exterior of...

State farm hassled me over the VIN initially and then when I applied for antique plates in PA and got them, SF corporate said the truck didn't meet their definition of antique. That matter is now settled but it took time and a few threats of going elsewhere to get them to wise up. Keep at it...

I've used multiple paint over rust paints in the past and have settled on Rust Bullet as my favorite. They have a UV stable version. The black shell is very durable, It does dry to a glossy mirror like coating however. There are other places online, but I've been ordering it through summit...

Very nice work

Tplane this sounds like a cool project, can't wait to see what you come up with. If anyone has a photo of that Dodge Dually running 6 HMMWV rims please post it, I'd like to see how that looks from the rear.

I had good results with Power Service with every fill up, but I now use Opti-lube in both of my trucks with even better results. Having to order online is the only inconvenience.

Those sound like the pair I bought for my fourwheeler, $60 27w, round with aluminum finned back. I too was impressed with the light output and will probably order more.

Not quite sure how it caused my problem, but I traced my wiring back to a faulty headlight switch, I'll replace it tomorrow and see if it was the culprit.

Agreed on the ground issue, still looking. And yes I'm using a meter. Also a power probe master kit, cool tool by the way.

The contacts were loose and the wiring directly coming out of the socket was brittle, replaced about 8" of wiring with the new sockets. The bulbs fit better but same situation, LED's and filament bulbs both work fine with headlights off. Turn headlights on and LED's stop flashing, all "marker"...

replacing the sockets as we speak, thanks again. I'll update with results.

Subscribed, I'm in a simular situation. looking forward to your solution.

So I feel stupid. I did the 12v conversion years ago and vaguely remember reading about the need to retain the GEN lights. fast forward to my latest rebuild where I installed aftermarket gauges in the dash and eliminated the lights. I've been trying to figure out why my alternator won't excite...

Good idea about the groove, will check when I get home. haven't been on CK5 in years, about the same time my K5 broke and I started the conversion.

Thankyou, I will recheck grounds and plugs. The part that has me confused is if I switch back and forth from using LED's and Filament bulbs in the front marker lights is that the filaments work fine, The LED's don't when the headlights are on. Headlights off both work fine. I would think the...

I have an electronic flasher, The LED's only stop working when the headlights are turned on, otherwise they flash correctly. Thanks again.

My turn signals work fine with incandescents, I purchased LED bulbs for any bulb that signaled. Rear lights work fine. When I replace the front bulbs with LED's the side marker/signal lights wouldn't work at all. So I put the filament bulbs back in the side marker/signal lights. Then the...

35" on all corners, must be the angle, bad cellphone pic

Finally got some time to work on it again, getting closer to "done for now"

I am very happy with the Hella's from Summit. currently running H4's I believe. The light pattern is very focused with a distinct cuttoff line on low beam. If more light is needed you could even upgrade to a HID system from DDM tuning for H4 replacements for about $40 more. (I have not done...
