I brought a 2005 100 serried to keep at the house we are building on John’s Island and to pull my skiff. Stereo only plays on low volume in the left speakers. Added a TYT Bluetooth to it a few years ago and checked connections and nothing seems loose. Anyone around Charleston that knows there...

Took mine wheeling and shot some grouse!

Made it! Truck now safely in storage locker for a year. Experienced a higher pitched squeak around 70 mph, intermittent. Trying to push north of 75 and it was more constant. Will gave it checked out before I drive it to FL to pick up a new skiff next year.

My wife sold her in interest in the family home in MA to her brother and now we are relocating all our stuff to Charleston, SC where we are building a house for escaping the bad months in Colorado. I purchased a 2005 LC in Albuquerque with 225K a few years back and will be loading it up...

Finally got dash torn up again and sure enough, the flasher plug was the culprit. Thanks for the KISS remedy before I tore into the wiring. Will try and diagnose the center differential indicator this weekend. Looked at the 30amp fuse in the panel and that was not it. Thanks! Todd

Everything seemed to be fine yesterday. Pulled the center instrument panel out and added a blue seas switch for rapid charge USB. Buttoned it all back up and suddenly the turn signals and emergency flashers don’t work? Checked the 7.5a fuse for turn signals and it was fine? Start checking...

Thanks for letting me know about that channel. Was considering adding a CDL switch and think it looks easy enough for me. Not sure about cutting the power to the auto antenna, as the manual switch does not work now. Would hate to cut the power feed from the radio and have it become non...

Had a Yaesu HAM and a basic alpine receiver installed in my 1995 80 yesterday and found that the power antenna comes up regardless of the input I am getting music from( tuner, Bluetooth, USB). The previous install only had the antenna come up during use with AM/FM. The installer said the only...

Wound up choosing the blue driver plug in for the OBD-2 port. I already keep an iPhone 8 in the car with 8K songs on it, which will be what I use to display the selected data. The old iPhone does not have a SIM card anymore, so will only be able to do updates when connected to Wi-Fi. Should...

That makes a lot of sense to me. I have an old iPhone with 8,000 songs that I Bluetooth to the stereo and it would make a great monitor. I like the idea of less clutter, so it might be a better option for me than a scangauge. Probably larger text too.

The 80 has 293k on the original head gasket and I have been told to watch the engine temps for a sign of things going south. Since I have an old iPhone onboard for tunes, is the blue driver and Bluetooth dongle a better way to monitor operating data than a Scangauge? My truck is a later 1995...

Went to cartoys yesterday to see what they might suggest and found a wired camera that connects to a screen that covers the rear view mirror. Also has a forward facing camera on back of unit. Having it installed next weekend and will report back on performance. Seemed like a good solution as...

That looks like a good option. I bought one of the cheap license plate ones from China and will try it out and see how it works. Have gotten used to the camera in my 100, so would be nice to have in the 80.

I have a single din pioneer radio in my 80 that sounds decent. Not sure if I want to spend the money for a double din alpine unit with back up camera. Anyone have success with a wireless camera that would hook up to an iPhone? Seems like I could pull power from the license plate light and...
