So heres a vid of what happens when a reverse bulb is unplugged. However this only happens when the trailer tow harness is connected. If I completely unplug the trailer harness and just plug in the main harness it doesnt do this.

This also only happens on the drivers side. Now... when I turn the parking lights on thry come on, but as soon as I hit the brakes, the drivers side goes completely out. But again only when the trailer harness it plugged in. So im thinking it has to do with the tail light wiring after tje trailer harness (socket side)

Thoughts?

 

hmmm ya know what.... are the sockets side oriented? im wondering if the socket harness on the drivers side, is supposed to be on the passenger side, and vice versa?!?!

 

^there ya go. I know both sides use the same connectors

 

It's been a busy couple of days, I got the rear 60 installed. But I failed at getting the new leaf-springs installed at the same time, the two lower shackle bolts that were free last fall are seized solid in the bushings. So the new shackles will be here in the am from Dodge part # 5203947AA @$40 each. New 14mm bolts are on order (not from the dealer @$40 each). So I took it for a short drive and the brakes while work are lacking. Did some part number cross referencing and found that the 8800 gvwr brakes take a bigger master cyld so off to get one of those in the am as well. When I bought these diff's I thought they were the 7500 brakes and they turned out to be 8800 brakes so I have been caught off guard on a few things/parts. The truck has also gotten about 1.25-1.5 inches taller, some from going to a 8.5" wide wheel from a 10" wide wheel (making the tire taller).

Edit: It's weird driving the truck without Dl's under it, drives much different.

 

Congratz Merc like the new set-up? How much lift did yo u end up with out of curiousity?

 

Covered the entire bed and frame in ATF.

 

^wtf...

 

Watch your email.

 

I am still working out some bugs, steers much better that's for sure, 4.10 suck for gear ratio. How much lift? I have no idea anymore, I never bothered taking before and after measurements, I do know its taller as I am hearing it from the wife about getting in and out. After I get the rear leafs in I will post some numbers.

Installed the new 2500 8800 gvwr master cyld today, its getting better need to bleed them one more time still just a bit soft in the peddle.

 

I wish my engine bay would stay that clean
