    Need Help!

    If you want to DIM LED's for backlighting, you can either make your own pulse circuit (not easy), play with resistors (not to hard but it's easy to shorten the lifespan of your LED's if you're not careful), or buy a module... Autometer part number 9114 is a gauge LED dimmer for up to 7 gauges.

    Farm Shop

    I was about to say... are those cabinets made out of fiber cement lap siding? That stuff is hard as hell to nail, but pretty rugged!!!

    Single Stick twin Shifter

    Homemade Grip Strut Running Boards

    That's the plan. If possible, I'm looking to get one 11' long rectangle of stainless steel to wrap from the front mudflap to the rear mudflap and act as a kickplate.

    Leaking Rear Axle Seals

    Is this what wastes the parking brakes?

    Keeping Locks From Freezing

    I've had good luck with the GM superlube (part no. 12346241, about $7 a can online); haven't had a single lock freeze yet (as cold as -10*F in Rochester). They definitely do get very sluggish, but I haven't ever not been able to get in...

    Homemade Grip Strut Running Boards

    Just finished a set of running boards/steps for my truck. I've been looking for a while (the short girls always complain about having to jump up) for some decent running boards, but I've never been able to find anything to my liking... So I designed these myself. I can post more details (and...

    Water Wetter - LEGIT?

    I've had great luck (contrary to some people's opinion) with the regular GM Dex-Cool... never ever had a problem with overheating, flushed it and replaced t-stats at 175k, heat's always hot in the winter and the fan barely kicks on in the summer unless I'm in traffic (even when its 90-100+)...

    What does your truck weigh?

    My CCSB with me in it and a couple hundred pounds of random tools weighs around 8000-8100lbs (according to the truck pull scales this fall). Probably due to the H2's+315's, misc. interior stuff, air compressor, linex, all the lights, inverter, computer, a hundred pounds for the subwoofers...

    Did anyone ever use AMSOIL Diesel Concentrate Cold Flow Improver?

    To a certain point you can just overdose whatever additive you're using. When it get's real cold you may have to start cutting it with kerosene.

    Massive steering failure... With Cognito braces

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the brace kit at all; I wouldn't be suprised if it was just a flaw in my pitman arm. In addition, I'm running some big tires and I do beat on my truck pretty hard; I know that's what the kit's designed for, but frankly I'm happy it held up as long as it...

    LSD Diesel Still Around

    A couple quarts of two stroke oil in each tank helps a lot with the problems created by ULSD; it makes a huge difference. I usually just dump in a gallon on Walmart "power tech" or whatever brand marine 2 stroke oil; costs $7.97 a gallon, I use one every couple tanks. Better mileage by...

    Fuel filter with about 5-7k on it...

    Don't know exactly how many miles this has on it, but I know it's less than 7,000... pretty nasty looking. Also, clearly some water in the fuel! Truck was just starting to bog down a little if I punched it hard...

    Noise

    Meh; may be nothing wrong at all. My 4x4 has had a bit of a growl since day 1. Could be a bad CV; mine's had a split boot and no grease (and been packed with dirt, mud, and water) for about 2 years and 50,000mi now with no adverse affects... yet.

    Stupid BFG KM2's!

    Very odd... I've never heard anything really bad about BFG's; it's pretty rare for a tire to come apart that bad obviously. My Cooper Discoverers are in pretty rough shape (separated belts, chunks missing from being cut up on rocks and scraps offroad, bulges in the sidewall/tread, countless plugs).

    Has anyone ever tried....

    Seems similar to the Cognito UCA kit, which I can say from personal experience is awesome!

    Counterweight or Ballast in the Winter

    What (if any) do you use? I used to put about 600lbs of sandbags in the back, but they always become such a mess by the end of the winter. This year I got some steel suitcase weights though my work (cheaper than scrap steel, believe it or not); have 16 40lb blocks for 640lbs that doesn't...
