    Recovered my stolen truck, but not my keys.

    I did report it to the police. I called my town police, they came out and wrote up a report. Just afterwards, I went out for a drive in my wife's car.. Realized I was looking for a needle in a hay stack, so started to head home. Then remembered I had my airpods in the truck. I checked the...

    Recovered my stolen truck, but not my keys.

    Friday night around 9 o'clock my truck was stolen right out of my driveway. I was backed in and had been working in my garage; in and out of the truck, tailgate down until 720 (I could see on my Ring camera), so naturally my keys and wallet were still in the center console. My camera did not get...

    Thanks for all the help everyone! I contacted Putco and they said that it seems to be a short in the control module. Covered under warranty and a new one should be shipped out Monday or Tuesday most likely

    Tailgate light bar hyper flashing

    Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my tailgate light bar that is driving me crazy! I hope someone will take a look at the video and be able to direct me how to fix this or at least have a suggestion. It worked perfectly for a long time, then I noticed it was flashing. I re-wired the thing...

    Got bored

    Sweet! I hate the chrome trim. Did the piece around the center console awhile back because the sun would reflect into my eyes and have wanted to do the rest ever since.

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    Wow! You're the man! I had all the polarities the same way but backwards, so the lights all came on with my wiring backwards. Now that I switched them around, they come on with the green with to the positive and the black to the negative. I am 1000% certain these with work tapped into F79 now...

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    Is it possible that the wiring harness itself could be backwards? My truck doesn't have the red shroud over the + battery terminal. I'm seeing another truck that is making me to believe the only way I was getting the lights on was by putting my green lead and fused wire to the - terminal and...

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    I've used a multi meter on the 15 amp fuse in F79 by itself and while having the tap wired in, all good both ways. However, with the tap in place the 5 amp fuse has no power.. But if I put the wires on the + and - terminals of the battery (power going through the tap) the lights come on

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    F79 is hot when the headlights are on. My fuse tap has 5 amp fuse, and I put the original 15 amp in the bottom slot. Aside from not tapping into the harness down the A pillar like on 2500/3500, I believe the fuse tap in F79 is what most have done. My question is what am i doing wrong? Maybe a...

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    Thanks for the info and insight from you experience! Checking down the A pillar was the first thing I did, no harness in there, but the little trap door on the passenger side of the dash has a harness. There aren't any open wire ports nor did i check a diagram for it. Haven't started any of...

    Installing cab clearance lights on my 1500

    I'm getting ready to install some mopar cab lights on my 1500. Gonna have to run my power wire down to the fuse box and use a fuse tap. The location is F79 and is occupied by a 15 amp fuse. Am I going to need to add a fuse to the tap (meaning it would have 2 fuses) and if so, what amp fuse do...

    Brake line and hose kit?

    Honestly, I don't have an answer as to why, just thought it's what I should do.. There is a leak somewhere in brake lines, so the brakes don't work. And the rotors calipers and pads are all rusted. The truck is an 07 in good shape with 100k+ miles but hasn't been driven because its got no brakes...
