no 4x4 light
I have checked my transfer case and the 4x4 works fine, however no light when put in 4 wheel drive. So it's probably the swtch and not a short correct?

Title
Ok, here is the deal.
If the truck is older than 10yrs then in Vermont you ONLY need a bill of sale to get a reg. and tags. They do not only give out the reg. which is the SAME as a title in "TITLE" states they also give you tags at the same time. So...title states like Maryland will...

Worked for me last week. Very easy no issue with VT DMV. told them I was out of state, sent my reg. and tags to my home address. Everything straight up. [thumbzup]

I just used the Vermont DMV to get a title for one of my trucks. I am in Maryland and just sent in a bill of sale and the VT paperwork off their internet DMV site along with a P.O. money order for the taxes and fees. They sent me a VT reg. and tags in about 1 week!!!

Vermont Title
I just used the Vermont DMV to get a title for a truck of mine. Great service from a DMV, all I had to do was mail in a MO for the taxes/ reg. fees and a bill of sale. They sent a reg. and tags to me in Maryland no problem. So if you need a title this is the way to go!!!

Paint
Yep, sometimes I lay it on too good (flat) and it gets a little shiny. Also, better to get back off the body and let it overspray on the paint to add texture.

Ramesh's truck
Hi Mike, yep Ramesh's truck. I painted the bumpers and grill black today it really looks good now.
Tips on painting:
1. Watch your mixing ratio vs the air temp. Follow the mixing directions on the can. It's better a little thicker than thin.
2. Let it dry overnight BEFORE...
no gloss
C- no gloss but the Rapco 383 green does have a little more gloss than the CARC type paint. However, I have found that it holds up better to scratches because of this.

Sealer
No need to seal the top because I dont go down to the bare fiberglass, I just sand the paint smooth then prime and paint. So I did use a red oxide primer.

Self inflicted wound
Ok, I found out the issue...ME!!!
Joe, is the master and correct on the last post.
The story: ( I almost did not re-post due to the embarrassing nature of the idiot behind the wheel) I am preparing to paint this truck and in the process installed a new manual GP...
relay
Hey Joe, I did check that wire and it has 24.9 in the off position. The wire is in tact and the fuse is not broke as far as I can tell. I am pretty sure it was the resistors as the smoke was rolling out from behind the resistor shield. I will check again.
GP
Correction!~ I had the meter set wrong.....the top pos of the GP relay is 24.9 off and the wire at the block is 24.9...so that good.
The problem happens when I go to start the truck, the truck starts great but then the resistor starts to smoke, and the pos wire from the front battery to...
