Good stuff Pat. Your truck is super clean. I need to look at the cooler on mine and do a delete. Where'd you get the replacement adapter to put in place and what lower hose do you run after the delete's done? Curious what donor rig you pulled the 3G alternator from... Taurus? Those headers...

I would check the sockets on your bulbs. I know it sounds "out there", but I had a comanche that did the same thing.... whenever you turned the blinker switch on, the lights on the dash would light up solid, or not come on at all, depending on what type of flasher relay was installed. After...

In cab only at this point... though a GOOD wireless controller (one that works every time you press the button and doesn't have a delay to it) would be pretty sweet for re-spooling the cable and such. [EDIT]: For clarification as to the original question... I would do both. In-cab controls are...

Just out of curiosity, what has been your mixed results on the t-case ebrake? I'm pondering WTF to do on my rig... YJ, 14 bolt with discs, Atlas II, etc... I guess my idea at this point for something reliable, safe and hassle free would be the AA t-case brake setup for the Atlas, even though...

Can they be operated in cold weather without using pliers? :redneck:

Good idea. Been thinking about doing the same myself. Anything special you had to do, or just T into the sewer piping somewhere and put a cap on it?

wire up a toggle switch to the dash light and turn it on whenever you shift the t-case into 4wd. :redneck:

Yes, but isn't the one pictured the switch for the dash light? Maybe I'm totally off, it's been a long time since my YJ had any of that stuff, lol.

I forget how the t-case indicator works, but on a YJ it would've been tied in with the vac disconnect on the front axle... and of course on your rig, that's long gone.

Windshield washer nozzles. It's either the one that runs to the back that would have hooked to a wiper on a hard top rear window, or the one that hooks to your nozzles that spray the windshield... I can't remember for sure, but I know that's what it is cause mine is cut right at the firewall...

I know I should probably keep my mouth shut without having at least tried what's been built, and this topic has of course been thrashed to death... but... I think all the pictures I've seen of 'new' Reiter tell me what I need to know. If they (DNR or whoever is building these trails) can drive...

There's two OEM 6.0 ones on there right now if you search under "6.0 transmission cooler", one for 190.00 "buy-it-now" and one for 150.00 with 0 bids. Shipping might be a little steep, but it's still gonna be cheaper than buying a new one.

I've seen it shoot up to 205 towing slow up a steep dirt road, otherwise it usually sticks around 180 or so unloaded in hot weather. This is on the Edge CTS which pulls from the factory trans temp sensor on my 02, with the factory 02 cooler. I've been told that the OEM Ford (not aftermarket)...

After driving rigs with campers tied down with both styles, I have to say... I find the straddle/saddle bed mount style downright dangerous compared to frame tiedowns. With saddle style bed mounts, the camper and bed sways around a LOT. Frame tie-downs eliminate most if not ALL of the sway and...

What he said. Plus if you are only running at 35, you won't be breaking a lot of 8.8 shafts on a trail rig/DD. The slightly narrower width will only be an issue if you plan on running large tires and stock offset wheels. You can buy 1.25" spacers from Spidertrax or plenty of other places if...
