    Used motor oil as undercoating

    This is what I use. Works great, creeps into the little nooks and cavities and will last the winter. I am about to re-coat the underside, inside doors and tailgate and anywhere else that road salt crap can sit.

    headlight and horn, M1009 advice needed

    ​​OK, Got to fixing the truck on Sunday. Here is what I got to. Addressing the passenger side headlight being out/dim: Before I started, I checked to see if the passenger side headlight was a bright light. No joy, headlight was 100% out. All other lights were functioning as they should. Did...

    headlight and horn, M1009 advice needed

    Thanks wrench turner. I checked a lot of the grounds and still have the headlight issue. I need to find the time to pull the headlight harness and check for shorts. Otherwise, what could be causing the headlight to blow (4th light since I got the truck). Now I need to find out why the horn...

    Stuck Headlight Switch Operating Rod

    LOL ! Saw that video long before I even bought the switch. **** thing is jammed or something, as pushing on that button does nothing. Rick, I checked the bulb socket, disassembled and cleaned it. Checked the ground, nothing out of whack there either.

    Stuck Headlight Switch Operating Rod

    OK, headlights are giving me an issue. Drivers side is 100%, passenger comes on 70% of the time at about 20%. Very dim. Sometimes, if a fiddle with the headlight switch, it comes up to 100%. So, being the genius that I am, I go out and buy a new headlight switch. Heck, I even read up on how...

    Brake line, Fuel Filter Base, Transmission Rear Seal and Radiator Leak

    Thanks for the info on the trans seal Rick. I didn't think it was that tough a job, but I wanted to make sure. And yes, I know your thoughts on the fuel filter, that is why I am on the fence about the swap out. I'll PM my office number to you. Give me a call in the AM. I am usually there by...

    Brake line, Fuel Filter Base, Transmission Rear Seal and Radiator Leak

    Ok, the truck was sitting for two weeks and I noticed three (OK, four, but I knew about one) very separate puddles under her. First I found that the brake line "block" on top of the rear diff was leaking..a lot. A quick and careful turn of the wrench looks to have fixed that. Funny how that...
