    Need Help With Wiring Truck Topper Interior Lighting

    Thanks for the info Mean Green. I'm pretty sure my truck didn't have the factory tow wiring as all I have now is a 4 pin flat hanging down that the PO must've installed. I hate that it hangs down like that and will remedy that situation at the same time I wire up the topper lights. I'll have...

    Need Help With Wiring Truck Topper Interior Lighting

    Hey guys. I got a camper shell for hunting season and am trying to wire some interior lighting without running cabling from the battery. My Chilton doesn't have any info about a 12v constant at the tail lights. Can anyone tell me 1. if there is a constant in the back I can tap into? or 2...

    Hey no problem. I had to find out the hard way. Some of the wiring on these trucks makes no sense to me. (my cig lighter still doesn't work either!)

    I know it sounds stupid, but check the fuse that controls your cig. lighter. Guaranteed fix.

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    *UPDATE* - Well I am officially an idiot. I overlooked the most obvious cause to my problem. The whole thing ended up being a failed booster! Duh. I should have known better, so lesson learned and the truck stops as it should. Thanks again all for the help along the way.

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    Hey here's a thought. Since I ran the MC dry, do you guys think I need to take it somewhere to get the air out of the ABS junk even though I've bled all four corners about six times? BTW, my pedal is now stiff as hell but still doesn't engage at first press for about a half second if I have to...

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    No worries RH. I don't know if this plays into the equation at all, but I noticed yesterday that my good pedal feel (minus the delay if I panic stop) doesn't feel so good if I have the air conditioner on. I've NEVER encountered this before. I'm really stumped and if it wasn't for the time...

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    I apologize for not making my thoughts clear guys. The ABS hasn't worked since I've owned the truck and I've locked them up on occasion out of necessity. Tires cost to much to do it for "fun". I guess the point I was trying to make is that I was "testing" the brake job to make sure I could...

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    *UPDATE* I hope everyone had a good, safe 4th! Well I've got a good pedal feel now. I had a lot of air in the front driver. She stops "almost" as well as when I got her. The only time there seems to be hesitation between pushing the pedal and the brakes engaging now is when I try to do a...

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    Thanks for the quick replies fellas! Yeah I cheaped out and bled the old fashioned way because by the time I was done fighting that old line and bending the new one I was wiped out. So it looks like I'm breaking out the Mity-Vac this weekend! I really thought it was bled well enough just by...

    Rotted rear brake line along frame rail now soft pedal after bleed?

    It was a normal day picking up the babies after work when "pop", I lost a brake line along the frame rail. After replacing the line and bleeding the system, my pedal is super soft and takes a considerable amount of pedal travel and even then a delayed start in the brakes actually grabbing. I...

    Stupid front lift question

    Thanks for the reply Butch! I actually like the height of the rear but cannot safely crank any more. the LCA is almost touching and going over bumps sounds as if my whole front end is coming off. I just wasn't sure if there was a relatively inexpensive way to raise just the front to match the...

    Stupid front lift question

    I recently wanted to get some extra lift out of the truck so I cranked the bars a little. Well that left me with a little cali lean so I added 3" blocks in the back. Now the truck has too much rake. I checked the "stupid lift questions" thread but couldn't find what I was looking for. How...

    Rear shock question

    Thanks for the replies fellas! Do you think then that the Rancho RS5000 shocks would be a decent shock choice? I'm on a limited budget and they seem reasonably priced? I know the truck came with Bilsteins from the factory but they are more than I "want" to spend. The only reason I was asking...

    Rear shock question

    Hi all! This is my first post so please forgive the noobness. I have a 1998 Z71 4X4 with a 3" BL and I'm getting ready to install my 3" blocks in the rear but am unsure if i will need to get new shocks or not. I know it's a stupid question and i was looking at the Monroe sensa-tracs just for...
