Based on my quick read of your issue it probably isn't the feasible links. However, any electrical issue that is the very first thing I replace / check out on an 80.

Looks good, I have two of my doors sounded. It is a pretty labor-intensive process isn't it. I prepped the inside of my doors with isopropyl alcohol to make sure I had really good adhesion with the material.Sound deadened both front doors today in perp of upgrading front speakers. Passenger door took several hours as I really didn’t know what the heck I was doing. Driver’s door took considerably less time…
I took safety precautions with gloves and welders sleeves. Kept cuts and scrapes to a minimum

I'm looking for upgraded speakers as well, have you chosen a brand and model that will work?

Never thought I would consider the snorkel as needed for water crossing in the Sierras, I thought for sure my snorkel was for intake air temperatures and dust.
Really, really glad I had it.
Also super happy with the IAT and this refreshed 1fz is thankful.

Nice I’m planning to do the same on my 97 Lc CDL , can you dis engaged the CDL while you moving ? or you still have to stop to engage / dis engage.

I tried to work on that this weekend. People say you *can* change out that EGR VSV without removing the manifold but honestly, and I have tiny hands, forget it. LOL

Made it out to Big Bear / Arrowhead area this weekend. Took Burns Canyon down into Pioneer Town for lunch. Gorgeous weekend!
That overlook is where people launch hang gliders! We didn’t see anyone in the air though.

You can turn on/off the CDL while moving fast/slow.
However, the truck is more stable on slick roads with it off.
If there is 6" snow on the road, then turn it on.
And you don't need the expensive switch. A very slightly modified and inexpensive hazard switch will work. That's what I used.
Washed it to take a few posser shots.
Haven't done much to the Adventure Rig lately, it's been on daily duty.
I did manage to repaint the faded bead rings, it took two months to complete all four though.
I also relocated the steering cooler from my winch plate to the normal spot most mount it.
Then I rotated back my winch control back 90* degrees to allow more air to the radiator.
Next job will be some tweaks to the front bumper & maybe color match paint in the flavor of Champane ??? Or should I go with the cladding color?
Now Lexy is just sitting all lonesome like in her parking spot wait for me to get off the night shift to take me home.

I think our weekend was very similar. I decided to install front and rear speakers with sound deadening. I also replaced the door checks on all four doors. Was surprised when I pulled one and it was missing the actual stopper. Weird what a small difference they make.
The install took a long time since I opted to install the speakers using rivnuts / nutserts since none of the speakers were a direct fit. It also took a while to get the door cleaned and prepped, and even longer for the exterior of the door after cutting and trimming out around all of the hardware, wiring, and moving door parts. After the extra time it took to measure, prep, cut out all of the door speaker locations, install appropriate hardware, and wait for more sound-deadening material to get delivered; I only managed to get the front PS door done. The rest will have to wait.
In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out an alternative for the door panel/ door cards. It was obvious that they had been removed several other times before my ownership as well as water damaged from window belting and window seals that failed many years ago. Wondering if anyone has ever pursued an alternative?

Fitted a much needed fuse box . Sits nice and snug by brake booster.
Perfect Doggie Trip to INYO Forest with fellows 80s
Visited it in the tow yard after hitting some 86-year-old doofus who was driving at a 90-degree angle to I-40 eastbound traffic outside of Albuquerque.

Very nice.. How do you like the polks? Any issues with fit? They have the same depth as the Kickers I am eyeing.. Did you run new speaker cable? What amplification are you using? Thanks dg
You really called it @BILT4ME . It turns out that if you mess with wiring like you stated above, they are, in fact related.
The shop that installed my alarm and the HuddExpo kill switch tapped the kill switch into the 30a DIFF fuse. When it blew it took out the kill switch. Cheap and easy to fix but still a pain in the ass.
Probably because he head gasket is going.
