Black shows more bodywork imperfections than any other color

Can anyone take a pic of where the adjuster bolt is for the steering box? I wanted to try this out...i looked all over my pump and i may be blind but im not seeing it...i only see the bolts that hold it to the frame and the lines...other than that its just a hunk of iron...dont see any adjuster....ive read its on the top but i dont see anything...just the lines are at the top theres nothing else

Well this week i dont want to spend money on it so im going to do free stuff....one being im going to pull the transfer case and reseal it...when i changed it i put rtv on it and had the bench press the transfer case in while layin on the concrete..so rtv dried before i could finish bolt it so she leaks alittle..easy fix on that...

Also i m going to remove my plastic bedliner and cut a hole in the bed right above the fuel pump so i wont have to drop the tank if i need to change pump....also pull out the tank strap that broke...

Like i stated before i want to try to adjust the gear box....lastly if i do buy anything this week it will be a control arm...so im thinking of pulling my bad one...


Plenty of stuff to keep me busy without having to spend money

Ugh...a minor problem..i hope..has come about....my windows....now ive never had a problem with them before...well i had the passenger window down because i primed the truck and didnt want paint on window...

Well rain came in quick today and i went to roll up window on drivers side and pass. Window wont go up....i went to pass. Side and that switch rolled up window and now drivers window doesnt go up or down and i have a new window motor on drivers side from about 8 months ago...


To sum it up drivers side switches for windows dont work at all but the pass. Switch will roll passenger window up and down....so how is this possible i thought drivers side was main circuit....ive searched how to clean connector in diy and it didnt work...no fuses blown....so do i need a new circuit piece for drivers side? This has got me stumped....is there any way to "jump" the drivers side motor to see if it still works? Dont want to get parts i dont need

Mine did the same thing. I replaced the switch panel on the passenger side and then the driver's side started acting up. Tried cleaning it, checked for loose connections, fuses etc. and nothing worked for me. The only thing that seems to work is to hit the door panel next to the switch to get it to go down. Getting it up isn't a problem. BTW both switch panels have to be plugged in, working or not, for them either window to go up or down.
The passenger side cost me about $30 something at O'Reilly's and they had it in stock at the time.

Ive hit it to no avail...sucks cuz my buddy has a ram but its all manual options so i cant take a part from his truck and test it on mine like i usually do....

Im going through the wires tomorrow to see if anythings corroded or pinched because i did get tboned right at drivers door by a new chevy 2500 so the impact was pretty good...luckily my interior is gutted so it should be easy to trace the wires back
