Hey guys. Thought I'd dig this old thread up. Playing with my lights today, I was trying to reinstall the quad beams and have them work in conjunction with with piaa fog/driving lights. The wire I was using to trigger the piaa lights was the same yellow wire used for the quad beams going to contact ...

fallvitals

Yeah, they lasted a while though. I bough some Phillip 9011s on amazon tonight, and some PIAA wiper blades. In all honesty if we weren't about to add an addition to the house, which I think will be more tha our budget so don't know how that'll work out, I'd trade up for a newer truck. But I'll keep ...

fallvitals

Checked fuses. Good. Relay under hood, replaced it, didn't solve the problem. Didn't see how the multifunction could be the problem if the relay was working. Pulled both bulbs. Both blown. 0_o I guess one blew, and maybe it overloaded the other and fried it? But luckily it was simple. I can see the ...

fallvitals

Yeah, I'll give the fuses a better going over tomorrow in the daylight. Check the bulbs. I feel it has to be a relay or something since that high beam light is constantly on... But who knows. Fog lights won't come on either, but that's o be expected if the system thinks the high beams are on.... Won...

fallvitals

Is there any way to test the multifunction switch? I'd like to know if it is bad before I drop $100 on one :/

fallvitals

I did the quad light mod, but removed it when I added pia dual beam fog/driving lights. They actually stops working a while ago and I never looked into it. They just tap into the stock wiring (soldered) and have their own relays. I'll check that Reed. I checked some fuses but saw nothing... Disconne...

fallvitals

Here's a crazy one. Pulling into the alley I hit my high beams, they both are on for a second or two, then they both die. I flip them off, the high beam indicator is still on, but luckily the low beams still work. Flip back to high beams, nothing, back to low and those work, high beam indicator cons...

I was gonna reply days ago but was having issues with tapatalk. Any way, thanks for the great info as always Brule. I feel silly now having asked, I looked again, and don't know how I missed it before, but I found the culprit.... The inline tee. I installed from my prestone flush kit, there's a very...

Another thread , for the last few weeks I have had a bad antifreeze smell in the truck and more so outside. So bad coworkers have noticed it. I think... It maybe originating outside and the smell traveling into the cab?? Coolant levels are steady. I have never seen a leak, popped the hood and never ...

I still lurk here, I just don't have the time I once did to be active on forums. But, the sidewall of one of my BFG ATs cracked. They no longer make the 33x9.5-15..... (MML installed) I don't want to go wider, so I guess my next option is perhaps 31x10.5-15? If I recall, those shouldn't rub? So just...

fallvitals

One of my BFG ATs cracked in the sidewall. I'm not sure if I want to keep my crew much longer or upgrade to a 2014 silverado in the spring... Maybe just keep the crew, but I don't want to put a set of new tires on if I upgrade. Can't find any used tires in 33 9.5 15 online, wondering if someone has ...

Her-he'd

He'd use the compression fitting***

fallvitals

Interesting. My buddy had the tools to flare it, but napa guy gave options of the compression fitting or steel stuff (plus flaring it), said her to compression fitting. Hm hm hm.

fallvitals

fallvitals

Talked to a buddy of mine, with his knowledge, some of his tools and a trip to napa we cut out the bad part, used a compression fitting (not sure if that was the best option but that's what we did), and replaced. Bled the lines. Pretty simple job, I was impressed. I'll post a couple pics in a reply ...

been a while since i posted here, just have no time these days... anyways, coming home from work tonight I blew a brake line. it is the metal line that comes from the front of the truck along the from rail, behind the driver rear tire, ad connects to the flex hoes that goes to the differential. It f...

fallvitals

Good info. I went to advance looking for a tool weeks ago, they looked at me like a deer in headlights. Said they didn't have that.

I got some some hose clamps, but the locking/screw part rubbed against the boot, and would wore into after a while.

fallvitals

lol, that's pretty much what I gave been googling, but what I found was really pricey. Just thought there may be a more generic name as to not exploit as much moneys from my wallet, lol.

fallvitals

I don't doubt ya. I did manage to find a video of some one doing a cv clamp with the same style of tool like I posted, and it looked like a breeze. I may have to try that one.

Here's a really dumb question? Do those bands have a particular name? I can't seen to find just the bands..

fallvitals

Thanks for the replies. I think the bands you are talking about jav are like Yamaha use. I really don't see how that kd 3955 tool would work any better than a pair of pliers or wire cutters? Even if it did, I don't see how it would get tight? Seems like this took is what I really need? http://img.ta...

fallvitals

I had to replace a rear inner cv boot on my Atv. I couldn't get the supplied bands to work, then i tried hose clamp and saw those wouldn't work, so I the tried metal zip ties and those wouldn't get tight enough. So what tool can I buy, that will clamp those boots on tight, no questions asked?

No, didn't do that. It truly wasn't an adrenaline/excitement thing. I don't like that part of it. But I will need to try it on paper.

Hey fellas. I figure Reed might have an answer for me. I got a Rock River Arms AR15, aim point M3 red dot with larue removable mount.

Plus, my grizzly doesn't have a back up pull start, like my buddy's king quads. I did get a set of jumpe...

fallvitals

It all depends... I don't think I would have done it hindsight... Mainly because I never did offroad it bad, then I got a Atv and that's what I use. Our front ends are weak, mine pops and cracks all the time since I did the torsion bars. It always scared me about wheeling and breaking down my daily ...

I'd say you are correct. It's also hard to justify, since I have yet to really need it, but that's why it's there, just in case. I have done the math, I should get like 65 miles to a tank, I haven't been on a trip over 50 miles yet. But again, we could get out, tuned around at the limit of gas, and ...

Also, googling that site I found a code for 15%, better than the 10% I found!

Might have to make two posts out of this. Hard to multi task on the phone. I don't believe a larger tank is a option on my grizzly. Not sure about fuel bladder... I'll research that though.

fallvitals

Thanks for that link! I figured that would be something you couldn't get or pay a insane amount for. Although I went to order it online from autozone and it said I didn't enter enough (quantity) or something like that... Only need one boys!

fallvitals

Still not over! When I rolled out there was a kinda metal dragging sound from the drivers rear brake. My buddy had a hard time removing the pad and accidentally bent that little sheet metal piece in the caliper. I thought the sound went away, but it's back and worst. So guess I need to tear back int...

fallvitals

Buddy of mine helped me dig into it this weekend. We went for a ride and discovered its not the rear passenger, but the front passenger making all the noise. We tore into it, and quickly discovered the pads (highly suspected before this) were gone. I had new rears, but needed to get the fronts, we d...

fallvitals

Glad it worked for you! lol, no luck when I did it! Hope I can fix my brakes this weekend though.

fallvitals

I adjusted my torsion bars when lifting. Not too long after they started popping and cracking constantly, and every condition. I lubed mine before, I never noticed an improvement. But if I am correct, you take some white lithium grease in a spray can, and spray it into where the torsion bars go into...

fallvitals

Hmm. I'll check that. The marks on the disc are like C shaped. All over the disc, no just one spot incase it's warped. So it seems to me (doesn't mean much) the pads or dragging so something with the caliper must be amiss. Idk, I'll have dad look too, hes more knowledgable.

fallvitals

Last few weeks my truck has been making a bad on and off Squeel. I tracked it down to my rear passenger brake. You can see "chatter" marks on the disc. I guess the pads or caliper is flawed now. I never done anything to brakes beside change pads. Any ideas what I should look at when I take the tire ...

They even talk of the new chargers with tranny issues. But the biggest thing that has scared me is t...

That's interesting info on the tranny. I'm not sure what his is geared out, I wanna think he got something like 3.76??? Not sure, I do recall him saying he didn't want 4.10 gear.
