Could have shipped you mine

That's the best way I could put it in words. the lens blackens from the inside and looks like chrome on the outside. lamp produces very little light even if filament is still good. Let me try and take a picture up close.

 

 

Ahh ok. I misread. For some reason I was thinking that you had said the LED bulbs had blackened out. The license plate bulbs like to do that chrome black thing as well. I replaced mine with Philips LEDs, but sadly one of the 2 has already failed with less than 8 months on it. Phooey.

11:00 Replaced all motors in a cluster I had already repaired 4 months ago. Told him then he should get all the motors replaced because it was just a matter of time before they failed since it was a 2003. And one by one they started to fail, first it was the oil pressure, said he could live without it, then Speedometer, said he could live without it since Tach still worked but when the fuel gauge pinned itself right around he knew it was time. Didn't charge him full price since I already got $60 from him 4 months ago and I was in a good mood. Waiting on a 2005 H2 to show up for a cluster repair.

Drove mine to my parents place last night to check the oil level in the front differential. It's been over two years since I replaced the fluid, and I thought it was leaking, but if it is then it's not leaking very much because it didn't take much fluid to top it off. When I was leaving I noticed my light bar wasn't working, but it was raining so I didn't mess with it. Fixed it today, somehow water got into the inline fuse under the hood, corroded the connection and blew the fuse.

Dielectric grease will stop water from getting in....

 

 

It was laying in a small puddle where water was laying, I just moved it away from there. I'll add some grease next time I'm in the garage if I remember.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
