You guys know I have been struggling with an intermittent functionality with my hi beams for about 2 years now. I think I have replaced everything in the whole system except the DRL Module and the diode assembly under the dash. It was so hard for me to explain to people exactly what made it...

Well, like the title states, I'm getting ready to replace the multi-switch on the D. Has anyone done this already that could offer any tips or tricks etc? Thanks in advance for your consideration, Pete

Gents, I hope you can help me with the official name of the switch/switching items in my turn signal lever. My wipers work at odd intervals, operate by themselves at times... my turn signals blink fast and then slow at the next corner.. Sometimes when it really acts up , I swear I smell a...

Hey guys, its been a while. My problem is with (I think) the turn signal assembly. To turn on my brights, I pull the turn signal wand towards me. I'm not feeling the "click" and the brights don't operate at all. Is the problem with the turn signal wand, or in the steering column? Where can I...

Hey, I just had the most embarassing thing happen. I said to the CEO of our company that I would give him a ride into Milwaukee proper to pick up his new BMW. We got about 3 blocks from work and *poof* fuel pump pooped out. Totally dead. wouldnt restart or anything. Cops showed up, middle...

Hey guys, Purely for conversation/research purposes, I have been thinking of engine upgrades, as my stocker approaches 125K or so.. It functions fine etc.. but one day it will die, and I want to be ready. I looked at superchargers etc for my engine now, and 3 friends say that building a new...

Ok, sometimes a dude just needs to fabricate a problem to see if theres a better way to do things. ..so, I saw this drip of coolant. :D My radiator is failing, was installed march of '07. not worth repairing cause its the end seal etc blah blah.. so yeah. I can do this repair myself...

Some of you engine detailers may find this useful. I tried the mini buffer today with some Dico green Buff-It pads, and got these results on the A/C hoses and such. took about 5 minutes. No chemicals, no rubbing.

Hey dudes. Its slow at work, and I cant think of anything I want to do to the truck today... so I was kicking around some non-performance-adding engine bling. I saw Hamburger covers, but they dont seem to fit my application... and I kind of dont want some 'just chrome' stuff from...

Ok. I have to remove my wiper arm from the hood area. It's all crappy, chipped, and needs some lovin' and some paint. I cant get the release to work. Im assuming that indeed there is a release mechanism. I believe that I have it pictured below. I CANT GET IT TO RELEASE. whats the secret...

Nothing remarkable here, just finally got the MSD installed, thanks to everyone for their help and reference photos (JP422). everything was super easy except the coil install itself, I had to drill out the fasteners to install that properly. PITA.

Hey dudes. I cant remember if I asked this already in this forum. I got these chrome 20s. some friends installed them for me one day. and then while I was driving down the road, one fell off. anyway. I got some new wheels because the mechanic at the shop I took it to said that the wheel...

A quick story and then a question. by 'quick' I mean 'wordy' if you dont feel like reading, skip to last paragraph. one day, the CEO of my company called and asked me to come give him a jump at his underground parking garage below his apartment. ( he lives in florida and commutes here to work...
