    Grinding brake sound

    Why would I only hear it during braking and only sometimes then?

    Grinding brake sound

    I was getting that grinding sounds like when you go too long on a set of pads and you have metal on metal. Changed the front and rear pads and rotors. Still getting that same sound. Four new rotors, eight new pads. Brakes seem to be working fine, but getting that intermittent grinding. I notice...

    Bakflip bed cover question

    I just purchased a used Bakflip. Not sure of the age, but I think the guy said it was on his son's truck for about four years. Hasn't rained much since I got it, so I can't speak to the waterproofy-ness of it, but based on the look of the seals, I wouldn't put any delicate electronics back...

    Rear seat folding dog platform.

    Wait, do 2008s not have this option standard? I have one in my 2004.

    CB Ceiling Mount?

    So the MDF was between the headliner and the roof, and the bolts went into that? Was it just the headliner holding onto the CB then?

    CB Ceiling Mount?

    I don't want to do it for show, but for convenience. I don't want to lose my cup holders, center seat (that's where my sweetheart sits!), or console space, and I want it to be easily accessible when I want to use it. The mic cord hanging down was the the main thing that concerned me. I was...

    CB Ceiling Mount?

    Has anyone tried mounting a CB radio (or anything else, for that matter) to the ceiling of their truck? I've seen it done on Jeeps, and it worked well. Is there anything to mount braces to above the headliner? Would the headliner be stout enough to mount it to directly? ETA: Sorry if this is...

    Googlifying my truck

    Great write-up, and something I'm definitely interested in doing. I am going to be installing an aftermarket head unit that I'd like to run my video feed to, though the mirror you are using looks like a pretty good one. Sirwankel, how do you plan to get your fwd facing camera to come on...

    DIY: Heater Core Bypass

    Your write-up inspired me to do this mod. Just finished. This will take care of one of my biggest pet-peeves about vehicle air systems. Sometimes I just want air from outside, inside. Thanks for the help!

    Why does this happen to me?!?!?!

    Go find the best body shop in town. Tell his insurance company that's where you want the work done. Source: Been rear ended twice in the last year in my other vehicle. I went to the dealer and asked where they have their bodywork done. Told my insurance that's where I wanted to go, and it...

    Crutchfield Double Din Kit?

    Just got off a chat with a Crutchfield advisor. I have been trying to find a head unit to replace the aftermarket one that was in my truck when I bought it a few months ago. I've combed over the single din HUs on Crutchfield's website. Resigned myself to going with Single because I didn't...

    Hello... New guy from Indiana, remote start question?

    Update: I took it back in to BB, and he couldn't replicate the problem once he put in a new 20A fuse on the A/C wire. It would burn out when the A/C was on high if he put in a 10A fuse. He put in a 25A, which was the highest the Viper system allows apparently, and told me to keep the A/C fan...
