If I do this, it might be next spring. I have to find a bed and frame. Question, does the frame have to be an ...

For thoses of you, that are using the steering wheel controls with aftermarket radios - which wire (from the truck) are you tapping the translate module into. My module is the PESWIAKJC from Peripheral Eletronics. Mine was working, but now it is hit or miss.

Is it easier to get at the middle spark plug, on the drivers side, with a body lift? I noticed how difficult that plug is, due to it being behind the steering shaft.
