For a stock daily driver I'd have to add tire / gear / or both but my commute is 30 miles of I-95 HWY. My current plan is tow pig / work truck / inboard ski boat hauler. I keep looking at 33's / & 35's ~ but at $100 each the Goodyear 37's are very tempting. Stock shaft knob radio hole...

Solder and shrink sounds like a good idea. Any tips on where to find the proper spade terminals for the 60g's, as I hear they have a wider terminal then what is in there now. Finding a retail store with a good assortment of electrical terminals has always been difficult.

( 8 ) 60g's on the way.

Thanks~ I am still strugelin to wrap my head aroudn it all together. I've read so much in the last 5 days. My original test was with all GP unpluged, I need to do a recheck but feel as though I should replace my 2 dead GP's first. Somewhere 2-3 days ago I read a great piece on glow plugs...

Think I'm gonna pull the Dash + cluster and dive in ~ way to many electrical things that are not right. Looks like Frankenstorm is gonna kill most driveway work this weekend (Misting rain now). On the positive it does look like the batteries took charge.

Thanks! He sold his Diesel 97 4-wd F-350 Crew cab on 35's last December to step back into simpler times. We dug until we found the clean / stock unmolested K-20 Scottsdale. THis one was a contract landscape truck but you couldn't tell if it had 30K or 130K. He has worked hard since March to...

In the rush to get it out of the way and loaded up I may have killed the GP controller. Tested the pink blk and got ground, tested the Lt. Blue and got ground (Key Was off). Then I mistakenly put hot to the lt. blue and heard a PoP inside the cab. :oops: Will learn what damage i cause...
