    engine dies when lights are on

    Thanks for the replies. I'll check the headlight harness and steering column after work today. I was thinking that it might be a alternator problem as well. As soon as I turn the main lgihts on the truck stalls even when holding it around 3000 rpms. Weird thing is that the lights work if...

    engine dies when lights are on

    This is stumping me. The engine shuts off when I turn the headlights on, just like if I were to turn it off using the key. This started last night when I turned on the hellas. The truck died, would not idle and seemed to be missing bad. I checked the battery at 12.7x volts when off and...

    Hey Marcus, that may have been me running up to the rally. Our trucks do look similiar according to Jen. Minus the hood black out. Too bad you could'nt make it. It was good time.

    A couple of transmission questions...

    My 97 does not. I just replaced it about 9 months ago due to the light coming on from a faulty sensor.

    2007 Shelby Cobra GT500

    My brother in law just bought a Roush (sp?) R380 stage II convert. and let me test drive it on some back roads. I was really impressed with it. Night and day difference in handling dynamics compared to the 85GT I had when I was younger. The part that impressed me most was the 14" rotors and...

    Rear Sway Bar Damage

    Hey Jen, missed you at the round up. Your sway bar should be ok. Just be careful. It's under tension and can bite you when it comes around.

    Hella 500

    I have a pair of hella 500s that are wired into the factory fog light switch. I used the standard 55w bulbs so I did'nt have any problems with the factory wires. Now, with the lights themselves, I am using the driving lights. I am not very impressed with them at all. The main problem I have...

    what to do for a long road trip (ohio to colorado in january)

    Make sure you have your registration, insurance card, drivers lisence and such just in case of an accident. A disposible camera to leave in the truck is good to have as well. You can also carry a blank accident report sheet so you'll know what information to take down (you can get them at the...

    Towing questions...

    I don't know what its like to drive in winter type conditions or what type of tires you have now, but maybe a set of stock size wheels and winter tires would be enough to make towing those snow mobiles more comfortable.

    How difficult / expensive will it be to make a SE into a SE-7?

    97 SE7s also have a grab handle on the cargo door so you can close the door from the inside. Nice to have when your stuck deep in the muck and water and don't want to get out to hook up the rear strap.

    flying rovers!!

    That D90 is a really sick rig. I don't know if he had any damage after the landing, but that night, he pulled us out of the mud/water many times then walked through it like it was nothing. I like the sticker on the front windshield...."Not for Sale"

    Whining noise from serpentine belt...

    Try spraying belt dressing on the belt and pully grooves and see if the noise stops or changes. Most auto shops carry it for a few bucks and may be worth a shot. I don't think its a good permanent fix but at least you'll be able to rule out belt noise. I had a similair problem with my truck...

    Stereo IDIOT = ME

    Hey Bruce, I used the factory speaker wires in my truck and connected them to the harness that came with the cd player. The wires are a bit small but will work fine. I did'nt want to go through the hassle of running all new wires to every speaker. If you want to keep your A pillar...
