The one i have crapped on half the running lights, one side works only. Turn signals and brakes work np and i got it for free. Also somehow condensation got in there. I pulled it apart to see if i could get it to work, try to jump some wires tonight. If not, im buying a new one tomorrrow. I want one with reverse, amazon has three pages of these. Any one good brand wise or ones to stay away from? thanks

Plasmaglow either go with the Fire & Ice or go with the Original that doesn't have the Ice part which is backup lights, I have seen em at Pep Boys and the brand I saw there is Bully, not saying there products are bad but when it comes in 3 pieces that you have to put together it just doesn't fit well with me as it has a higher possibility of falling apart unlike a one piece design.

I bought the "Fire & Ice" LED light bar w/ reverse lights from Stylin' Trucks. Have not has any problems and I understand from reading the their reviews that they have a good guarantee.

That is where I bought mine(stylin concepts), well all of my accessories for that matter, but yes they have a good guarantee, i had one that worked but then was a dud, sent it back and got a new one in 2 days after it was returned, then had the new one and started to have an issue with it not flashing bright enough so I contact plasmaglow and they send me a connector that changed that and it works perfectly now, some trucks have that issue of it not flashing bright enough, so if anyone is having that issue where the parking lights are really bright but when you use ur flashers or turn signals and you can't tell the difference call plasmaglow and they will hook you up, just explain the issue.

I have the recon and it is holding up very well with no issues.

 

I recommend either Recon or Plasmaglow, both awsome companies with awsome products, its just a matter of preference and what your willing to pay for them.

I got the RECON White Lightning (reverse lights also). It was an easy install (hardwired) and I have no problems so far. Would definitely recommend

I have an Altec Line of Fire. They were the original makers of LED light bars. I bought one in 2002 for my old Avalanche and reinstalled in on my new truck. 6 years later and still works perfectly. I highly recommend this to anyone! I will never buy another brand. downfall is that it doesnt include reverse lights....

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?

      side view camera

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.

      Blazer is all put back together. Another hard-won battle. The 4.3 is not easy to work on in such an archaic and narrow chassis originally designed for an inline 4.   My baffle issue is solved. I returned to the OG junkyard but was ready for a fight. The Blazer I had picked from was stacked on another vehicle so I had no idea how the heck I was going to get myself to working height to pull the front end apart. I had seen an S10 pickup on the ground so I was hoping the part would be the same, AND, I couldn't remember if the S10 still had a front end or not. But I didn't need to worry because it turned out to be my lucky day. The yard had just taken in a '98 Blazer, sitting right up front, on the ground, with room to work around it, and the front end hadn't been hit. The baffle and all the clips were factory perfect. I also scored another good handful of odds/ends and the whole shebang only cost me $20.   Got everything back together and it fired right off, sounds good, runs good. I've got a little coolant drip from a lower water pump bolt (D'OH!!). I did the right thing and snugged it down a little bit, and of course that didn't fix it. Yet again, I will have to soak everything in coolant to drain it down to the water pump, remove the bolt, and attempt to re-seal it. Nothing is easy on this truck. Nothing. But now all the radiator plastics are correct, snug, and fully functional. No more rubbing on the cooling fan. It runs, drives (took it for a 30 mile drive last night), no Check Engine lights, EGR is working, no vacuum leaks. We're getting closer...   The replacement wiper motor arrived yesterday. The tailgate was already disassembled and waiting, so I threw that in. It works! Sort of. Two new issues on the list. While the motor is strong enough and the gears aren't stripped, the wiper is hanging up on the bottom of the rear glass. This is the old style where the lower half folds down like a truck tailgate, and the glass swings up, and they meet in the middle when closed. The glass isn't sitting flush with the tailgate, now that I look at it. No rubber bumpers that I can see for adjusting, so I'll have to look at the hinge adjustment to see if I can correct it. Also, the washer/squirter just dumps fluid underneath the truck. The lines actually run inside on the floor so I'm guessing the tailgate is soaked at the rear trim and the line is disconnected. There's also a drain there....probably for this reason.   The leaky water pump bolt was really disappointing. JUST STOP LEAKING...OMG!!   Replacing the window motor and a rear door speaker are still to do, and then everything will work. I want this to feel like a "good" vehicle worthy of dropping $600 for new tires before I do. That means no leaking first. I hurt, and I'm kind of cranky, so I'll probably take a day of rest and do the water pump again tomorrow.
