    dash repair question

    Only put on the edge and around openings such as vent and speak. I glued mine on with the dash out and used clamps with wood between. Make sure you clean the old dash good and sand down any breaks that stick up.

    Has anyone built an electric or manual throttle lock?

    My 01 Dodge cummins will if not pluged in, will idle up to 1200Rpm when cold. If still too cold it will shut down three cylinders. Sounds like engine is throwing a rod but will warm engine fast.

    I just put that piece on my truck and used a rubber mallet to tap the strip into place. Start at one end and work across. Worked like a charm, window is hard to roll up. Take care to not strip out the handle. :beer:
