Thank you both for the thought and explanation, I appreciate it. It's gonna take a bit of time and work to try to get familiar with all of that to see if I think I could try to diagnose and fix this myself. In the meantime though, do you have any thoughts on why they would only stop working...
Do you mind if I ask for more detail on the theory here? The aux lights are the ones not having problems - is your thought that they are taking some of the electrical draw away from the low beams?
Alright, so electrical gremlins are way above my pay grade. I've been having an issue where occasionally my low beams won't work. The high beams still work, as do a set of auxiliary driving lights which are wired to the low beams (they have their own switch inside, but they only work if the...
Hit up Northwest OHV Park in Bridgeport Texas, and took my buddy the professional photographer along. I wish we had more good action shots, but he was enjoying the ride from inside so much, I didn't want to tell him to get out for more trail shots!
Met a bunch of cool people and saw some great...
Thanks, JonHeld, much appreciated.
For posterity, and as an explainer for anyone looking for this information in the future... You have to remove the dead pedal (single bolt at the base, visible), and then pull the entire kick plate trim off the left side of the driver's side footwell, which...
Reviving this thread to ask, where is the flasher relay located to swap out? I just replaced front turn signals with LEDs, and they are both hyperflashing now, though interestingly they flash at normal speed when used as hazard lights. So I guess two questions: (1) where is the turn signal...
North Dallas (Coppell), if anyone’s interested. It didn’t seem from the various threads on CO2 mounts that there was a generally agreed upon good way of doing this in metal. But if someone wants to engineer this in metal with me for less than $50, I guess I’m game to try…
My bad! I saw the Powertank logo on the strap and made an assumption. If you fabricated that from scratch then I am duly impressed!
I don’t have those skills or tools, so still looking for input on my sketched solution, but thanks for chiming in, and no need to delete anything, others might...
I really don't mean to be rude, but it appears that this is a PowerTank using a name brand PowerTank mount of some sort, and that's... not really what I'm asking here. I'm trying to do a cheap and effective, easily removable approach, and to get input on the specific idea that I posted. Don't...
So I just put together a DIY PowerTank with stuff off Amazon for a little over $200. Should be all that I need, aside from the actual CO2.
I had intended to put it on my roof rack with Quick Fist Super mounts, but I'm starting to get a bit nervous about whether it's sturdy enough for that much...
The tires are almost brand new, they went on just a couple of weeks before I took the rig into the shop. But the death wobble was happening before they were replaced (and the new tires were road force balanced when installed). I'm considering going to another shop and asking them to take a...
Last time I was off road, when I got back I went a little too crazy with the power washer, including in the engine bay. I'd avoided problems while being careful and lulled myself into a false sense of security. Ended up dealing with misfires in a couple of cylinders for a short while...
Alright, so... Sigh. The truck just spent a month in the shop. It took them pretty much all of that time just to give me a "diagnosis", and about one day to do the actual work. After all that time, they just took the spacers off the truck to fix the death wobble, and then told me that while...
Hey now. I paused it while he was doing his impression of death wobble, and the joints made it a whole 22.5K miles, apparently. So given that I have about 215K on the LX, I guess I'm doing about 10x better! :p
In case anyone was waiting on updates, I'm going to have to get the truck to a...
So in the pictures from the initial post, is that the tie rod going behind the axle? If so, is the disparity between the boots and the bad angle of the tie rod probably a f*** up by the shop that did the tie rods?
also, if hitting the radius arms is a thing, would that explain a click from the...
Well, I’d be more inclined after I work out the registration issues on my E46 M3 (yeah, I’ve got my dream stable with just these two vehicles) and have another DD ready… that’ll be a few weeks though, at which point I’ll be more able to do things like disassemble front steering and suspension...
Again, want to shout out to Mud. You guys are awesome, and an amazing resource for someone who is interested in all of this but has almost no baseline knowledge to work from. Great community!
