    Is this a shift interlock solenoid? I replaced my brake stop switch and may have been a bit frustrated and aggressive getting it out of park. EDITED: After further assessment, I didnt read the chinengrish installation instructions for the brake stop (brake light @ pedal) switch properly...

    MTX Thunderform - any AMP recommendations?

    I have used jl slash series 250/1 and 300/4. The 500.1 also shares the same dimension as the 300/4. From v2 on they should have rbp remote capability.

    NEED HELP - Amp and Sub settings...

    I second not switching to kicker (sub anyway, amps tend to be ok). If anything, type R would be a step up. On paper, your amp slightly out powers the sub, but it's a boss and probably won't do rated, so you are good there. You should be fine wired at 2 ohm. DOA amp?

    All this 360/5.9 reliability.... No, um, the voltage regulator being built into the PCM, wind noise, and the brittle wiring with my rear driver door not power unlocking and my driver door not power locking.

    For the black plastic, I had great results with krylon fusion spray paint. I used it on the grille of my previous chevy. I don't recall having any issues, even after florida love bug season.

    Any reason my antenna reception sucks

    Are you running any class d amplifiers? Some, typically more compact amps are known to cause interference due to the switching circuitry they use, a modern example would be the kicker dx 1000.1

    best speaker box ? advise please !

    I have read good things about down firing center console boxes for our truck. My thought was that increased wattage was needed to compensate for lack of box space. I took the rear under seat mtx thunderform that I had, ditched the low end speakers, cut out the speaker holes about a half inch to...

    DIY: Rear Seat Flip Down Mod

    Before the ram, I had a silverado, the chevys have welded hooks too, the mod I did on that truck required that 1/2" be cut off of the hooks coming off the back of the seat, this allows the seat to lift free in the same way. There is a risk of taking too much off of the hooks, but if you are...

    Questions about tail lights wiring

    I recently had the same issue. I removed the led panel from my lights (lenses not sealed), I then cut the jumper from the first led panel to the next led panel. The jumpers are wired With a yellow hot instead of red, which is should be connected to the blinker hot. How you get the connector is...

    Issues with freshly installed sub

    I would consider the possibility that the excursion of the sub at high volume may be causing it to come into contact with the floor? I once had a PPI sub that, when pushed hard, would start to short out the copper wires going from the connectors on the speaker to the inside of the speaker. Good...

    steering rack?

    Thanks for your responses guys. I didn't think it was related, but I had a check engine light come on last week. I scanned the ODB 2 and had 2 evap codes, as well as a thermostat fault code. I was hoping the thermostat code showed up with change of weather as I have a non stock thermostat. The...

    steering rack?

    OK, siphoned some of the power steering fluid, it was hard to tell at first, but it was mostly at +4. I added some new. I need to mention I recently moved to VA from FL. I sprayed lithium grease on my ball joints which quieted the problem temporarily. It is now mostly when I turn right. The...
