Picked up four factories for winter wheels. 1 tire kinda needs to be replaced. Got them for $400. My truck was on 24's when purchased.

The almost completely sure that if I ever meet the previous owner, I will punch him/her RIGHT in the throat upon contact. I don't how this truck has not caught fire yet. The amp wire was shorting and making the truck do weird stuff, but it would still run, but never blow fuses. Go back to page 3 or so to see the mess I encountered with the 2 amps that were installed whem purchased. 1 of those, the dealer did not know about.

I believe that I have sorted all the wiring issues now. Jesus.

Now to find a 100a/200a relay to run all the stuff that was using the ignition as a 12v switch source. The 30a installed by the P.O. is getting too hot, so I unplugged it.

Well, figured out my no power at all, no start issue! Drum roll please! LOOSE GROUND BATTERY TERMINAL!

MAN, let me tell you this shit has been running me crazy for the past week! Get to to the truck, no power. Slam the driver door a few times, power! So I thought it was in the fuse panel/ BCM area since i was just all in there last week. I started checking fuses and went to the main fuse by the battery to see if voltage was going across. Then I seen a spark from the negative terminal. When I tell you I could have fit in a ants ass I felt so stupid. Shit.

It should be solved now. I'll know tomorrow. Atleast I found a bunch and fixed a bunch of future shit looking for the issue. Maybe that was the point all along!

Fixed pass side rear door tweeter. Wasn't even hooked up. Now it's working.

And replaced bottom engine cover. Old was was hard, brittle and cracked, holding on by 2 of the 4 15mm bolts. New one is flexible and nice looking. $24ish in ebay.


A breeze to install.

I figured out how important ground issues where when i did not re-connect the head ground strap after installing the manifold clamp. Truck acted some kinda terrible. Hooked up the ground, BOOM! Normal again. Im going to do the BIG 3 and run 1 or 2 extra 0awg grounds.

Finally pulled the DRL fuses. Also installed the street scene hitch cover. Getting the hitch pin in is a PITA. Also worked on the Rampage XTe and got my Proline Badlands MX43's installed. Now this joker pulls the front wheels up once the punch kits in!
