I got new marker lights, but they are black. Anyone have pictures of a tan truck with black marker lights? How does it look? I'm debating whether to go through all the hassle of painting them.

Just saw a new style of marker light show up on eBay, but a bit expensive ($350/10).

Not in like a year. I primarily use standalone GPS. They are ~47".

I still need one tire, if anyone around here is ordering several.

Is your speedometer an Ametek? All those I have are Medallion.

What I'm talking about with Little/Big Endian is which way the digits go. Take the normal number 750. That's Big Endian. 700 + 50 + 0. Biggest (most significant) digit is on the left. Little Endian would be if we flipped the digits around... 057. It still means 750, but the biggest digit...

It isn't clear that it's that easy. In my post previously, I describe the process of how to adjust it through trial and error. The least significant changes happen with the left switches (lowest numbered switches), and the most significant changes happen with the right switches (highest...

That's a good question. I hadn't even thought about whether different doors had the marker light or not until you mentioned it. I just knew that mine did, and the wire guards were broken and the wires were getting munched and mangled.

My doors, which I assume are from an A1 but I guess I have no way to prove, have the side-opening handles and the marker lights.

I'm confused about what you're saying. I've actually put A1 doors on mine, so my A1 doors have the marker light just like my A0 doors did.

Do your door wires not have the plastic guard tubes on them? I'm curious how many people's are broke and gone. They all should have had them. One of mine was gone, and the other was broken and slid down the wire to hide it inside the dash.

No, those are on the A0 door wiring harness (the picture is from the A0 manual).

After a couple revisions, I finished up a version that works really well. The plastic wire guides come in two halves, so you can install them right over the wires without needing to feed them over the connectors, and are clipped together with external snap rings. The original wire guides are...

There are no other switches that are exposed. I've never tried taking it apart to see what's inside. Make sure to do your tests over longer distances and average. Doing it over only one mile is too easy to introduce error. I'm not sure why it would be different, but it just seems to not be a...

This is one of the things I wonder about in the discussions about fuel mileage. I have a suspicion that the LMTV odometer system (meaning it could be the fault of the odometer, the sender, or other parts in the system) is fairly inaccurate. People report mileage numbers that are just not...

In most places, it will cost $1-2 to run the heater all night. I found that you only need to plug it in for 30 minutes or so to get a pretty easy start, and plugging it in longer doesn't get you any other operating benefits (e.g. warm air from the heater). But maybe if someone wants to just...

I can't tell if you are joking. Regardless of what their marketing says, no, you are only heating the coolant and block. The oil almost completely drains into the pan after the engine is shut down, and there are no significant paths for heat to take into the oil (e.g. just the thin walls of...

I put my hand against the block after leaving the heater running all night, and it still felt ice cold. It started ok, so something inside was warm, but it's losing a ton of heat to the environment. It didn't seem to warm up any faster (and by that I mean that the gauge bottoms out at like...

Huh? A freeze plug heater doesn't heat the oil at all. The oil is sitting in the pan, and not touching the engine block, so it's basically at outdoor temp.

Why do all that? You just take the percent change of the diameter and that will be your percent change in speed too. Stock tires are 46.4" tall. If you get 48" tires, divide 48" / 46.4" = 103.4%. So when your speedometer reads 58MPH, you'll actually be doing 58MPH * 103.4% = 60MPH Probably...
