    Any new ABS Bleed options out there for 05 and older?

    Last time I looked (August?), there were no simple options besides find someone with a DRB3 scan tool if you wanted to do an ABS bleed on a 05. Has anyone seen anything new? I saw an emulator, but it seemed a little wonky and expensive for what you get and I could see letting the smoke out with it.

    Anyone make there own white and amber over head can lights, or know where to find them for a realistic price?

    Have you checked Amazon? I saw a ton out there and the price seem pretty reasonable to me...

    I didn't want your dumb old bed anyway....

    well, The Good Lord provided me a complete rust free, and I mean zero rust, not even in the wheel arches, bed over the Easter weekend. I went and pulled it today. It's hanging from the gantry I built for the task last Fall in front of my garage. I ordered composite bedsides from EGP last black...

    At least disinfect it.

    Moog or Timken?

    So following up here. I bought my press, and I bought a very expensive press kit for removing and installing the bearings. Got the old bearing out yesterday, the press kit worked great. Put the new Timken bearings in the freezer last night and the steering knuckle on the grill this morning. Used...

    I didn't want your dumb old bed anyway....

    30 years ago I could have talked to the guy behind the counter and he would have hooked me up no problem, but this place has turned into a real walmart of junk yards since then. They would have to move 10 trucks just to get to it. I just assumed they had something with a boom on it for people...

    I didn't want your dumb old bed anyway....

    I've been looking for an 8 foot bed with a good solid inner box since I bought my truck. A 2004 with a good one came in at my local pull and pay. I ordered composite bedsides on Sunday, built a rack out of scrap to hold it in my bed and was all set to go get it today. I aways go on the weekends...

    Varying Knocking/tapping under my truck

    The way that was going down the exhaust pipe I would do the stethoscope test on the manifolds where they bolt to the heads.

    Lifter tick or no?

    Well, that's a no win isn't it. I hope you saved that old oil. If I saw that on the dipstick I think I 'd have called them and said send a tow truck because there is coolant in the oil and the motor is knocking and they need to fix whatever they didn't do right. I hate letting others work on my...

    Bio Diesel. Yes or no?

    Going to resurrect this a little. A gallon of diesel here in Cincinnati is 5.70-5.80 at Kroger. Across the river in northern Kentucky its 5.17 at Kroger, and at the Costco in Florence, Ky they had Diesel with "up to 5 % bio diesel" blend for 4.49 if I remember correctly. My Cincinnati Costco...

    Modifications! Oh Yeah....

    That was before my first rebuild. That experience woke me up.

    Modifications! Oh Yeah....

    I had this crazy dream when I was in high school of having a 68 Charger that I would keep a 318 in for daily driving and then on Friday after work I would have a 426 hemi that I would have ready to swap in using quick disconnects. Come home, swap motors, grab a shower, and go hit the town. Kind...

    Salt is coming soon I fear

    Me too. Tank is full of "Strategic Reserve". Putting it up on blocks right in my front yard! Well, back yard.

    Have done major fixes, but still smell coolant. Help! Details in post.

    Wow. The original post was from February. May want to replace your radiator cap. It's going to vent there first before heading to the reservoir. If the rubber seal isn't great, that may be the source of the fumes.

    Module manual?

    How about this then... When I start the truck, for a short period of time, like 60 seconds (? I haven't timed it), the voltage gauge shows I'm running on battery only. Then the voltage jumps up to 14.8 for the duration of the drive. I know there is a start lock out relay that is supposed to do...

    Module manual?

    Can you point me to the section you are referring to? I've looked but never found what I'm looking for. Granted I have not gone through each section page by page, but what I have found is not at the level of detail I'm looking for.

    instrument cluster noise

    I've been noticing a sort of clock spring sound coming from the cluster while driving. It picks up as speed increases, so I assumed it was the speedo cable/speedometer but there is still a noise while sitting still. Anyone know if the tach has a mechanical drive component to it? Any warnings on...

    Module manual?

    For my old BMW I have a couple Haynes manuals on the Bosch Motronic fuel injection computers. They detail the program that runs and what it does with the inputs and outputs, troubleshooting etc... Is there anything like that for our trucks that talks about the different control modules?

    STUMPED! 03 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi 4wd overheating

    I was going to second the T-Stat direction, and running it with the radiator cap off to watch the flow.

    Toyota is on the ball

    I'm more concerned about the ice age that happens every 150 million years according to that graph.

    Good video of rocker and cab corner replacement.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0aIHYZOnJw This shows replacement of inner and outer rockers and that there is 3 layers, not just 2, which is something I didn't know. Edit: And you can't get the inner most layer so you have to make it yourself.

    2013 Power Wagon - What Would You Do to It?

    I think that's a great price for something in that kind of shape. You could probably make money off it by posting it on Craigslist in eastern cities.

    Toyota is on the ball

    I say we just knock Mars into Venus's orbit, and Venus into Mars's orbit. Venus will cool down, and Mars will warm up, and the closer orbit may even kick start Mars's core and strengthen its magnetic field. In only 5,000-10,000 years we could have two new local planets to move to. Just need to...
