    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    And I have been using dielectric grease on dc connections for many years and never had one issue with any of them ever. I also use deoxit when needed. Great product. That mostly on old amplifiers and such.

    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    The female contacts in the socket was sloppy. Time for a new socket. 2 minute job if you buy a good one.

    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    And BTW. The passenger tail light socket looked bad and was bad. Wiggle the bulb and it would go on and off. Dielectric grease MAY have fixed it but i never tried it.

    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    Was at nappa to get center bulb. Picked up nappas chinese socket. Replace auto zones china socket with nappas china socket and all errors are gone. So yes. Cheap sockets can cause errors. I cant imagine why, but it is a fact.

    Replaced 3rd brake bulb. Still have brake light error and parking light error. Maybe it will resolve itself?

    Tail light socket now parking light out.

    2016 1500 incandescent tail lights. I had a passenger rear signal light go out. I had been getting warnings for months but it had always worked. Pulled the bulb and it was in fact the socket going bad. Looked kind of burned/smoked as well. Picked up a new (probably Chinese) socket and put some...

    How To: 4 Ohm Resistor Upgrade For Aftermarket Dash Speakers

    With my standard 6 speaker arrangement in my 16 express I AM TOLD that the dash speakers and front door speakers are joined. The factory put 8 ohm speakers in the dash so that the dash speakers would not overpower the door speakers due to their placement (in your face). I used 3 way JBL 6x9's in...

    Looking for tire recommendations....

    I was going to get michelin defenders but got brand new take off SRA's for next to nothing. Mine have always worked great. Plus they came mounted on stock 20" wheels. So I sold my 17's.

    17 to 20. What happens?

    Well I had a tire shop install the Ebay OEM sensors. They popped on in only a few miles. All good. I ran AlphaOBD and changed the tire size as well. Indicated speed matches GPS now. Hmm whats next..

    AlfaOBD windows or Android? And questions

    I got AlfaOBD for windows. Had to add a bluetooth USB device. Connects kind of flakey. I also got a Nexus 7 tablet which connects to the OBDlink+ easily. So, I wonder which is the preferred platform. I need to change my tire size and I would prefer it go smoothly the first time. Also wondering...

    I just ordered a set of new OEM sensors. 45 bucks shipped.

    17 to 20. What happens?

    I am leaving the old ones in the old wheels/tires. Not worth it to me to pay the shop to remove them and no way I am wrestling the things out of there. To old for that nonsense. I can get new OEM sensors on ebay for under 50 bucks. Or maybe the tire shop has some..have not talked to them yet.

    Aftermarket wheels no tpms

    My old tires pressures showed on the dash for about 10 or 12 miles before the light popped on and the numbers went to dashes. I would like it if they magically worked again! I have no sensors in the new wheels.

    17 to 20. What happens?

    To be honest (and vain) I did it for looks. And it does look better to me. But the factory 17's worked well, wore dead even, and rode real nice. I never had a problem in rain snow or dry. So 245/75 huh? How tall is that tire?

    17 to 20. What happens?

    And that's what happened. I just wish he would have mentioned it. Full disclosure is a lost art! Had I known I would have dropped them off when they were still loose and had them installed. Oh well, easy enough to fix. Have gotten used to the firmer ride. All is well and they seem to have...

    17 to 20. What happens?

    Ran over a toilet bowl on my way to work on Rt 95 at about 75mph. It fell out of a garbage truck, hit an accord which busted it up some, then I ran the whole mess over. Lots of noise but don't see any damage on the outside. Tire still have air, but not sure how much because I HAVE NO TPMS YET. I...

    17 to 20. What happens?

    No not in the bed. I went for about a 12 mile ride and the tpms was reading steady. Not going up with the heat. Then about 11 miles in it went blank and the tpms warning message started and then the light started flashing. Maybe it will fix itself tomorrow. AlfaOBD cant fix tpms if the sensors...
