They were in there a little longer than I intended. Roughly 60k. I try to swap them out between 30 to 50 depending on how it's running, and it's been running great.

That's actually really good..... I should prolly have a look at mine.... see how they are faring.... I don't think they have been in there even 10K yet though.

Default Multifunction switch Issue

Hey all, I have an 01 2500 cummins and I’m having some issues with my dash/multifunction switch.
My high beams are stuck on, but the blue indicator light on the dash is not lit up. When I turn on my right blinker the blinker itself works but the dash indicator light does not come on. My wipers only work on LO mode, and the fluid pump doesn’t activate when I hit the button.

I believe it’s a switch problem but if anyone can help I’d appreciate it

If you have tilt wheel, pull the covers off the column, and check the connectors to the switch. If that doesn't solve it, start NEW thread in the Tech section.

Default Headlight replacement

Swapped out the headlight assemblies. The second set was yellowing and had multiple cracks so I swapped back to a new factory style set up and LED bulbs. HUGE improvement in visibility at night.

Now I need to trouble shoot my horn not working. Quickly ruled out fuse and relay by swapping around but found a big birds nest with hard boiled eggs and all when I went to look at the horns themselves and thinking they may be toast.

When I found this ASI pro performance branded blem on sale on ebay for $100 and still had the same warranty I finally caved and ordered one.

Only problem I could see was a few bent fins that went straightt in 30 seconds with the needle nose pliers. No need for the trans cooler in my case but who cares. 100 bucks, man

I doubt my efans will ever come on again.The thing is 2.75" thick at the fins.

Says made in China right on it. At least there no molded plastic pieces bonded to the metal anywhere.

I'm stoked!

Default This is what I did....

Got my passenger side reverse light working again, all it needed was a scraping on the terminal and a new bulb and she was all good to go. Secondly I just ordered some new fog lights as well so I'm waiting to throw those on. Next on the list is LED bulbs and auxillary reverse lights. Also before today, earlier in the month I reinforced the passenger side of the frame with some corner stock so I hope she lasts a little longer. More to come soon!

Default Front brakes

Replaced pads rotors and calipers in my front brakes. Old caliper was seized on the driver side and ate the inside pad. Cleaned up a lot of rust on the frame inside the wheel well and hit with POR15 while I had wheels off.

Just finished stripping the foam off my headliner board. I 3D printed new clips for my overhead console so I can get rid of the ugly self tapper that held it up previously. Now I'm shopping for epoxy resin so I can fiberglass the passenger side of my dash, because I keep finding new hairline cracks in that area 😔 replaced the dash top earlier this year and it looked factory for about a week, now the core keeps cracking by the vents!

Default Hyper extended my hood because I forgot to close it fully

Forgot to latch my hood down so it flew up while driving. Pushed it down no it won’t open completely. I think I broke the hinges and need to fix this somehow.
