    Here's a loaded question--baby seats

    Here's a loaded question--baby seats

    RE: Here All the time!!!! Now.... that said, I have never been happy with a seat install. Granted, I am sure they are perfectly safe, and probably meet standards, but I am pretty anal about how tight I make them when I install. From what i have found, so far, the best spot is most likely...

    Alternate spare tire stowage/mount suggestions?

    You could also put a 'pipe socket' on the side of the tire rack, so that when the tailgate is down flat, the socket points to the ground on a 45° angle, and toward the sky on that same angle when the tailgate is up. Then when its down, you could put a 3-4' pipe in, to use for lifting it. by...

    M1009 tinted windows

    What I had thought migth work nicely, is to tint the windows kinda like a city bus 'wrap'. That would camo the window over, matching the body paint, but still let you see out through them.

    Alternate spare tire stowage/mount suggestions?

    Patrick, what I had considered doing (since I cant use the mount in its originaly location do to my dump PTO) was to mount the tire crane to the tailgate. Mounting, such that tail gate is flipped down, and tire is cranked up and attached. Flip tailgate/tire up together. I know it might be hard...

    Turnbuttons for soft top, need replacement

    McMaster-Carr carries some, although the ones I bought had the wrong size stud on them. I do believe they might carry the right ones.

    Involuntary starter run

    RE: Re: #1 Alternator A disconnect on the neg terminal of the front battery should cover you totally. This will cut out ALL 12v and 24v power.

    Involuntary starter run

    Re: #1 Alternator Based off of this information, you are probably right. Either that, or you burned the wire between the alternators. By cutting the connection you did, it left a path of voltage through the alternator wiring still.

    Involuntary starter run

    RE: The way my truck is wired Kenny what he describes sounds right. Al, I would follow all the wires leading to the drives side alternator. Make sure they are all intact. Use a volt meter to see if the 'red' (I think) wire on the back of the alternator has 12v with respect to ground. Also...
