Hey all, I'm having some issues with my car, a 1991 Camaro RS convertible, with the setting up a trailer wiring harness. My trailer has a 4 flat and the car needs to be a 5 wire because it has stand alone turn signals. I wired the car up with a 5 to 4 pin harness (Hopkins #48915), and using my...

I've been looking at ball mount drop hitches and trying to decide between a steel one or an aluminum one. I know the steel will probably last longer, but the aluminum one entices me because of the anti-rust advantage. And doggone it, the aluminum one looks so shiny! So really wondering if anyone...

Copied this write up off my Craigslist ad so apologies for the over explanation of some things listed. Interested?, let me know, price negotiable. 1998 Chevrolet C3500 Crew Cab Longbed Diesel in great condition and low mileage is ready for a new home. It has the Cheyenne trim level with the...

My FRC-10 gave up the ghost and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement that isn't special order with a long lead time. Does anybody know of a place? I don't run the truck alot so not real keen on spending a bunch of money on an entire new(insert brand here) setup.

Hi all, My brother is looking at the 3.0 ecoDiesel Dodge trucks and has seen fuel economy numbers that are varied. In particular, a 2015 two tone Laramie and the 2015 SLT have the same engine, transmission and differential, yet the mileage is 17/21 and 19/27 respectively. Is this from the...

Hey all, got a good question. I'm trying to put tires on a diesel pusher and so far have been told it needs 19 ply tires put on it as it is a 40' single axle duals set up. I believe 12-14 ply is norm for tractor trailer combos so why in the world would I need more than that. Heavy haul trucks...

My Dad has a Ford 3000 3 cylinder engine tractor that was running fine when he parked it. It sat for almost two years outside and now the motor won't turn over. He's tried to break it free by dragging the tractor around and engaging the clutch to no avail. He wants to put some type of oil/fuel...

So this Friday I'm loading up the family, hooking on to the fiver, and heading to the Black Hills for a week of "relaxation". If, God forbid, the 'ol 6.5 decides to throw a tantrum, do any of you have the name, address, number, of any 6.5 friendly repair shops along the way? I'll be going west...

Ok... to start off I don't know if my brake lights were working before I started what I'm about to describe below. Bought a new to me car trailer and redid all the lights and made it a seven blade plug. I had a old bumper plug on the truck that was a six wired into a 4 flat that was plugged...

I broke my screen on my TV-- ok, I know its not technically a computer, but it is a smart TV so it has a processor and this was the best place to post, I think. Anyway, does anyone know of a good ( read cheap here) place to get repacement screens. I have a 55" LG 3D and the corresponding...

Finally got around to getting my old OE lift pump out, which was dead, and put in the Walbro 10 and pre-filter kit, all sourced from Leroy at the only place to get all your 6.5 parts, leroydiesel.com. I only put 3-4k a year on the truck so it doesn't get placed high on the priority list. I...

Hey Leroy, I ordered up a fuel filter, bypass fittings, and OPS extension. Going to finally get my Walbro installed I bought from you about a year ago. Anyway, I wanted to let you know after I checked out through Paypal it would not allow me back to you site; it said the page did not exist and...

Hello, all. I put a new fuel filter in the truck today, which was long overdue, and cracked the bleeder valve on top of the FFM with key on and got no fuel coming out. Shut valve, started it up, let it run for awhile, then cracked the valve open with it runnning and it almost immediately...

Finally got my act together and swapped out my fan clutch with a Hayden severe duty, my OEM 9 blade 20" fan with a Dmax composite, and new AC Delco stats. First, I have a side by side comparison of the swapped parts: Then the old on top of the new. Not much of a difference, but I had...

Alright, so I'm in the process of putting a new fan clutch and Dmax fan on the '98 in my signature and am planning on changing out the thermostat(s). First, I think I got the two thermostat set-up; I've tried to post a pic, but am ready to throw computer out of the window trying to make the file...

Well, well, I can no longer feel superior or maybe, more appropiately, luckier than the average 6.5 owner. I still had the PMD on the injection pump and, until this week and last, had had no issues with it. Towed hot and heavy and no issues. I would read the posts of PMD issues and feel...

Had my Annual Training this week with the National Guard, and much to my surprise, I had a brand spankin' new rebuilt Hummer(M1097) sitting in the parking lot for my command vehicle. Went to South Dakota and, to make a long story short, at 1477 miles it threw a rod. I'm pretty sure it had a...

Got these sweet KC HIDs, but requires 24V. Is there a way to still make these work? Some folks have said to just change the relay to a 12V, but does that address the 24V source on the switch? Do I need to change something in the ballasts? I'm pretty incompetent with wiring/electrical, so spell...

OK, here's my deal; I'm trying to post a wiring schematic that I scanned onto my computer which saved it in a PDF format. When I try to upload it to Photobucket, it doesn't recognize it as a photo format and therefore wll not show it as available to upload. How do I convert this PDF to a gif...

Does anyone have a good source for golf cart wheels/tires? I'm looking at some combos on Egay and am wondering if anybody has a better(cheaper) source.
