i see alot of the horse people here in kentucky using the ford's to pull their horse trailers...a few GM"S,, and no dodges!!! most of the horse farms use ford's...and a few of them swear by them.....if this helps!!

top_sgt

ok......will let ya'll know how it turns out!!

top_sgt

so.......after an hour or so of trying to find an image of this centerlink......i assume it is different from the stock one on the crewcabs??!!??

top_sgt

ok all you GM experts!!! i'm an old foreign car mechanic,, and this GM stuff messes with me from time to time...like now! :? how do you "install" the steering damper on our crew cabs?? i see where it bolts to the "frame"/cross member!! where does it bolt on the steering?? do i need a different drag ...

top_sgt

i'll probably leave it with the stock fronts,,,,,and my added on rears!!

top_sgt

noooooooooooo...GM wouldn't do that!!!

just look at the stocks,, ball joints,,............

top_sgt

in response to my earlier post here!! the rear parts for the gap guards work fine!!

however....the fronts did not work well..

....and i'll have to find something else to work.. thought i'd let ya know!!

top_sgt

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...now that looks interesting!!!

top_sgt

(old guy thinking here) thought "billets" were like military barracks??!!

just kidding!!

being fairly new to "mods"......... what makes billets so much more pricey???
is it the material?? how they are made???? you all help me out here??!!

top_sgt

WOW!!

didn't realize the price of gas doors!!!!

top_sgt

yes.... check ythe wires at the rear bumper.....i pinched the ground back there..

and yes,......there is a ground wire/strap below the battery....shouldn't have anything to do with the lights though!!
and yes again..................tires!!!!

top_sgt

yes..............the darker windows look good with the dark blue!!!!!

top_sgt

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...mine did look like that!!

top_sgt

top_sgt

like the puter mount too!!!!!

top_sgt

top_sgt

top_sgt

top_sgt

top_sgt

hitchfinder.com!!!!!

top_sgt

yes...run wider spacers on the back.......as foe the 31's.........others will have to respond on that one.

top_sgt

i have 2" BL with stock rims with 30x9.5 tires...running 1.25 spacers on the back only.......no rubbing at all!!!! :D i got my spacers at wheeladapters.com....talked to fred. they came with the lugs pressed in...and with the same size lugs and nuts that are stock. i have seen some on ebay..... don't...

top_sgt

does it make the noise when turning,, or going straight,, or all the time???

top_sgt

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................

top_sgt

definately.........take it back and let the dealer look at it!!!!

top_sgt

maybe it's his dodge,,,and not the tires!!!

top_sgt

like the idea of the rock slider!!!

top_sgt

well.........glad we got everyone looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

top_sgt

that might work reed....i see what you are talking about.......depending on where you can mount the lines. mine are ok the way they are. in fact,, i could probably pull mine down to reach the nylon bracket,, there is plenty of play in the coiled part coming off the master cylinder. his lines were to...

top_sgt

checked my lines tonight......no signs of rubbing the shock mount.... i could get my fingers between the lines and the mount.. :) you might try pulling on the lines some to move them away from the mounts. i would not use anything like a pry bar to move them for fear of kinking the line. you should b...

top_sgt

since i just did my BL,,, i;ll check the lines on mine tonight and let you know what i find out...if my lines are rubbing or not!!!

top_sgt

you might try putting a small drill bit or pin into the nozzle tip and moving it up,down or the side....depending on the aim!!!! this has worked for me with GM vehicles and some foreign ones!!!

top_sgt

henryj...what sort of improvement do you realize with your air box mod??? better mileage?? performance??? mine is still under waranty...debating wether to cut on the box or not????

top_sgt

you say "chaffing"...you mean rubbing??? if they are rubbing you can "move them a little with a little nudge. wouldn't try to bend them out of the way or anything like that!!!!

top_sgt

yes....let us know when you start selling stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

top_sgt

yep!!! those lines!!

top_sgt

jeff.... on the bolt to the cooler lines by the oil pan.... if you removed the bolt, i can see where it would be a pain to restart!! fortunately.... i got the lines loose from the bracket and did not remove the bolt!! i did take the clamp off the wiring harness and left it hanging....do not see a pr...

top_sgt

also...... both sets of instructions say to drill holes to reposition the differential actuator and the positive wiring box......NOT>>>> both boxes fit back into the original locations without difficulty. :) :) and come to think of it......i did hear reed yelling while he was outside "smoking" once!...

top_sgt

OK!!!! you want details........i'll give ya details!!!! :) first off..... thanks the the forum gods for moving my post to the "right" section. i appreciate it(i'm not the best of computer geeks) total time was about 8 hours, maybe a little less.. i did spend some time friday night removing the bumpe...

top_sgt

top_sgt

my dealer said they could recalibrate my speedo when i put on "real" tires!!! they didn't say what the charge would be!!!!!!but from the impression i got , it shouldn't be much.

top_sgt

oohhhhhhh goodie..goodie..goodie!!!!!!! more toys for my truck!!!

having worked at a dealership several years ago.... general motors IS about taking care of the customer. regretfully some dealerships "like" to make money. if a dealer says your vehicle is not covered,,,and it is under waranty... call gm's 1-800 number. i have had to do this before for myself,,, and...

top_sgt

like jimmy's idea!!

top_sgt

and i was thinking(i know......it can be dangerous!!) if you do the quad mod.....shouldn't the fogs stay on with the low beams????

top_sgt

is there a way to reroute the wiring to tie the fog lights into the parking lights??? have done this with aftermarkets.....haven't seen a wiring diagram for the factory lights.

top_sgt

they are metric heads....7mm.....

top_sgt
