Got my 2010 PPV

[A123]

I will try and explain this is best as possible.

The CAN/BUS module with the XTRONs HU/wiring harness made it a super easy install.

The yellow Audio cable from the HU to the Camera had a red + power wire coming off it at both ends.

1) The Yellow Audio cable will plug into the HU, the red + wire I tapped into the Yellow power wire going into the HU, super easy.

2) after mounting the camera in your desired position on the truck, the cable from the camera with go to intermediate harness. That intermediate harness has a Black wire - (unneed) and a Red + wire. That red + will attach to the Red + wire on the Yellow Audio cable.

I will try and get some pictures, it was a super easy. I spent more time running and tucking cables then actually connecting/wiring.

The camera I used:

Congrats! Very nice. What dealer? I bought mine with 78k. 2011 in Black, K-9 kennel and electronics, full unmarked light configuration intact, etc. Very complete and ready for service, just needs com and updated laptop.

My transmission went around 85k miles. Converter wouldn't hookup so out it came. Replaced with a fully upgraded Jasper that has been behaving very well for 20k miles.

I have a vibration that I've had a helluva time diagnosing. I've replaced tires, factory wheels were checked for runout/straightening, new shocks, springs, , front control arms, etc. Can't go over 75 mph without a significant and increasing vibration. Next up is checking the runout of the hubs, though the wheels are original and undamaged. How did yours drive?

I also bought mine from a 'dealer in Chicago.' They were fine to deal with. I didn't press them too hard because the truck had everything I wanted intact for a very specific use.

Saw somewhere a methodology for aligning driveshaft to rear can eliminate vibration

Of note too, the driveshafts in the PPV are heavy duty and balanced from the factory

Muffler install pics.

I can MiG weld, but no stainless wire at the shop. So I had a buddy at another shop TiG up for me.

Zuryfabrication if you live in the Annapolis/Baltimore areas in Maryland

Almost identical to mine except I have the MF clone of that muffler. I welded mine in with regular steel wire and the splice piece to make up the length difference was regular 3" aluminized steel exhaust tubing. Wire wheeled it clean, coated it with cold galvanizing compound and "aluminum" colored spray paint and it still looks fresh today, minus the dirt. Road salt isn't a factor here, though.

Give it a couple hundred miles and it'll get a little louder and more aggressive tone to it.

Hopefully not to much louder
