Your exterior light issues sound like so-so grounds to me. Just enough of a ground for one function but not grounding enough power for all functions. The dash lights are probably burt out bulbs. I had to replace one of mine recently. Took about 15 seconds. Now to the good part. Very nice...

Just drill and tap the cap and call it a day.

Unfortunately no they are not on the surface. Only the light emitting portion of the led is on the surface. Everything that is conductive is buried in epoxy. I simply cannot conceive a good way to remove the epoxy either. It is solid as a rock. I drilled into it a little ways and I just...

Ok guys I dissected the worst of my trucklite omnivolts. The news is good and bad. They are completely sealed in epoxy. This is good because water can't get in. The bad news is I cannot repair them. I would also imagine the trucklite led head lights are built the same way. If someone has a...

I cannot warranty the lights because they came on my truck when I purchased it. So I'm kinda sol on that. But an interesting discovery i have made so far is 4 brand new composite lights shipped costs the same as 1 Trucklite LED fixture. I'm really questioning things here if I'm not so alone...

I am getting power at all of the connectors and after cleaning all grounds I have good continuity between the ground wire and the frame. As I said I hooked up a bad light where the only working light was hooked up and it still didn't work. 3 of my lights are bad. So I went ahead and ordered 4...

Ok guys, here's the deal. My truck came with the trucklite omnivolts all the way around. Sounds great right? It was one of those great little "perks" that came already equiped on my truck......except only one works.aua Now don't get me wrong. I'm happy with my truck other than ironing out a few...

Air tool oil seems to be the standard oil used to lube the airpacks. This is from my research of course. But from the pictures of my airpack (which I intend to upload more) no lube was used on mine for many many years. Air tool oil may not be the best option but it is far better than nothing.

Well everyone, I finally received my new air pack and got it installed in my truck. Brakes finally function. Happy days. Also for anyone who hasn't built a power bleeder yet.....stop putting it off and build it already. Made bleeding the brakes easy as can be. And finally the obligatory...

I wonder what those run $$$$wise?

Huh, I always thought it was the weight of the vehicle that tripped the light.....I came to this conclusion since I ride motorcycles. Learned something new today.

Yes, I would imagine a sprague would engage if the tracks were thick enough. Another option would be front lock-out hubs if you did have a sprague but I honestly wouldn't want all of the front end drive components spinning needlessly. Best left for trucks with selectable front end but thats...

As long as you are on dirt it would be fine. Now engage the front axle on concrete or asphalt and this could be a problem. Dirt/sand allow some slip. Hard surfaces don't.

My IP has some oil seepage around it so I figure it wont be too many more years and I will be replacing/rebuilding my IP. A close friend of mine retired from a shop the rebuilt IP's, injectors, turbos and magnetos for diesel and stationary gas engines. They are a very well known shop here in...

I appreciate the compliment but I would by no means consider myself an expert. But what I do find interesting is the lack of information about this version of the air pack. I know I'm not the first to attempt to rebuild one but there is almost no information out there on it period. Now I...

I agree with you here...except I went from having to spend $165 on a rebuild kit to now spending over $500 on a new air pack. I must say in this case rebuilding was the more sensible option. But as i said there was simply nothing left to rebuild. Though if anyone needs help rebuilding the...

Over the weekend I rebuilt the master cylinder and pulled the air pack apart. The air pack is completely shot. A large puddle of rusty water came out of the air end. I attempted to hone the air end and the pitting was so bad theres simply nothing left to rebuild. So as much as I didn't want...

Ya I read that article. Very informative. I think your confusing what I mean though. My air pack is the newer short style that they appear to be using in the A3's. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information out there about this variant. So I am going to use the rebuild procedure...

Actually Stretch may be on to something. I had an old Quincy air compressor with an I-4 Hercules diesel. It didn't have a fuel guage so I would sometimes forget to fill the diesel tank. Whenever the tank would run dry the engine would almost run away and then die. First I suggest changing...

Thanks again Frank. I have seen that thread, along with a few others. I'm going to base my rebuild on the long version and hopefully the process is pretty similar between the long and short versions. Now if my parts would arrive then I could begin my MC/Air Pak rebuild. The wait is killing me.
