no cruise,abs, and the speedo keeps rhythm to my left signal light
I'm pretty sure it isn't the plug itself as I just cleaned it up and it looks good. but I haven't followed the wires all the way up to the cab yet. guess I'll try that, maybe two wires are rubbed through somewhere. to answer the question about the DRL s. Its just a little 4"x 4" module you plug...- bushpig7

no cruise,abs, and the speedo keeps rhythm to my left signal light
Take a truck out of California (even though it was built in Ontario originally) and introduce it to cold, salt and rough roads and it will show you all its flaws directly. Not only does the speedo keep rhythm to the signal but it also dances at any speed over 35mph. When I turn the...- bushpig7

does anybody know about welding on a chassis?
That's a relief! I had been told some time ago not to weld on a chassis ever and I thought I might encounter certification problems up here in Canada. that would've kinda sucked . I just wasn't sure. I talked to a few people up here too and they all agree with you guys. "if it cracks, then it's...- bushpig7

Hello oilburners I got crawling around under the loooong truck that just came from Towcats lair in california and I noticed that the plate that holds the goose ball has been welded to the frame. I don't know a lot, but I thought that you weren't supposed to weld on a channel-type...- bushpig7

burnt clutch smell or brakes
does it make any kind of sound? I rebuilt my C6 tranny and after a little while of driving (about two months) I needed to readjust 2nd gear. after that it was fine and I have towed some huge loads with it. You should notice a little bit of slippage and a sound that sounds a bit like a pump...- bushpig7

Camarogenius, at this time of the year we don't have parades we have carnivals and I'm so sick of snow that a little rain would be welcome. at least I wouldn't have to shovel it. I know its...- bushpig7

how do you get a crewcab dually from CA to NY
It's definately an option I'v thought about getting it fixed and driving it (what you cant see in the pic is that it is missing a bumper and grill as well) . It's a little intimidating to a northerner to travel 3000 miles to work on a truck in a different country in a city that I don't know etc...- bushpig7

maybe more work than I have time for. Your truck doesn't look bad either its just that I don't know whether I would yank all the body off it and drop it on my frame or try to put my transfercase and 4x4 goodies under it. if I were to buy it, that is.- bushpig7
