Hmmm, I'm having a strange issue with my collector... Replaced the Doughnut Gask.(ring) yesterday,.......drove around, but it's still ticking on occasion. Also, it doesn't look plum, ....almost as if they welded the CAT on at a TINY angle, causing it to secure down on the top, every time, before the bottom.

Anyway, .....glad you got that fixed, I JUST HATE exhaust leaks, big time! lol.

How's life, otherwise, Ian?

hey mark! i'm doing just swell. the truck seems a lot happier now that the exhaust leak is fixed. the problem with it before was i think it got loose and slid on me.

1000 points for the first person to (correctly) guess what this is:



(if you say "towel" or "blanket", you fail)

I see a diode and two capacitors and a relay. Stab in the dark and say for your dimming headlights at idle?

i don't have them, and probably won't. i like not having to have a key in to roll them up. and if i did something in the door area, it would be for power locks (maybe sometime in the future)

don't worry, i won't drag this out like brian did. with his free car

Ian, I don't need my key in for my windows!! Rewired them hot, per 4crawler instructions.

For 1000points:
Is it related to project 'dual fuel'?

yeah, but i can roll it up/down faster than any actuator i've seen

that, and if it shorts out, i could get my head stuck in the window

nope. that's the next clue: it's not related to project dual-fuel
