    Leaving fuse 51 out

    Going to post my fix for the parasitic draw. Most of the time on these forums you never see someones solution so maybe this will help someone. My 80ma draw was coming from my key switch. Apparently I was turning it back to accessory and pulling the key out. For some reason my radio would turn...

    Leaving fuse 51 out

    Got a parasitic battery drain on fuse 51 cluster/radio. I've installed 2 brand new batteries and over a few days both went dead. I have a 80ma draw from fuse 51. For the last week I have been taking it out when getting home to keep it from drawing the battery down. The last couple days I have...

    Power windows work with ignition off and door open

    Thats a good ideal. I will look at that switch. I have not had the truck but a few months. The radio goes off as soon as I turn the switch off and I thought it would stay on till I open my door but it doesn't. Is that normal?

    Power windows work with ignition off and door open

    80 mA. They say anything over 50 mA is excessive. I did have alot larger draw but it was the light staying on in the glove box and I fixed that.

    Rear differential whine at 43-50mph

    When I dumped it out at 500 miles fluid was clean with no shavings. I checked the backlash again and it was still .007 where I set it. I'll change it again in a few hundred miles to see if anything shows up. The wear marks on the ring gear looked good.

    Rear differential whine at 43-50mph

    I bought this truck used and it had a roar in the rear differential. It turned out to be a pinion bearing and race was bad. I bought all new components for the rear differential. New bearings, new carrier, new spider gears, new axle gears, new ring gear and pinion. My problem is with all the...

I also seem to have a drain on the battery. I've replaced the battery twice in the last 3 months. What would cause this and what can I...
