Did the whole runaround thing and got my old kelsey brake controller tested at the same place were i bought my ball and...- olivera149

towing question
yeah tom i have a ball that is rated at 12k along with a new ball mount that is also rated at 12k, and the things alone probably weigh 50lbs. It is just one of those things were you have to use what you got to make things work on a budget, and have to get done. I will feel alot more safer...- olivera149

3.08 or 3.55
the way i see these trucks are most equivalent to the mastercard commercials, we may spend $80 on GPs, $300 on a IP, and staying on the road PRICELESS! To add on to the "priceless" is way better than more costly parts, and far less expensive vehicle to drive all around than todays modern...- olivera149

funky guages ?s
thanks for the respsonses guys, i have the pyro mounted(Autometer Sport Comp) at the top and the trans temp mounted middle and now i have the bottom one open until my oil pressure guage comes in.

GP controller?
how can one go about doing a resistance test? Electricity has never really sparked my interest into learning more about it, but do i run it pretty much like a continuity test where i run off the positive-positive lead and touch the ground lead to the GP?- olivera149

Cold starts in the morning are a pain, my WTS light stays on for about 12-14 seconds and it is getting to the upper 40s here at night and i just tested all of my GPs with a test light for continuity and all checked ok. I think i have the proper burn time, but after the WTS light goes off there...- olivera149
