    3 positions keyed switch question

    No no one. I will do it if it allows me to use a keyed switch safely. It still looks stock with the key in the original switch but gives me piece of mind.

    3 positions keyed switch question

    I did have the same issues prior to adding the key switch so if theESS is bad it was bad for another reason in this case. Curios to know your thoughts on why a keyed switch would be my different. If appropriately rated, what difference could it make?

    Optima battery install questions

    I ended up using the rubber hold down from the kit shown below and made J bolds for passenger side hold down. Didn’t have to use the adapter or wood. Used rubber spacer instead. Thanks for all the responses.

    Optima battery install questions

    Guys, pre researched prior to posting but still have questions. When installing the optima batteries they are shorter than the holes for the hold down bracket (J-rod holes) and if terminals are left to right, rather than front to back, the posts are really close to the aluminum bracket. I...

    Heater hoses

    Hi all, can you tell me if there is a kit for all of the heater hoses? Mine are all in bad shape. Are you using the OEM hoses or something different when you have to replace. Not sure exactly what I need or where to get it. Thanks in advance.

    Looking for a new parking brake (handle). I am seeing a bunch for sale for the M998 but they have the button release. Mine does not have that. Are these compatible for replacement? If not, anyone know where I can find a parking brake for my truck? (Without button)
