    Trailer Brake Controller

    Bogus Link This like is referenced all over the place....is there another "authoritative" writeup that documents what is needed to know to install a controller?

    Factory "Sat"

    Yup. But seriously (rim shot) I doubt I'll do that -- its one more thing to steal, and my hearing is shot. So it really doesn't mater that much. There was some one else in the thread asking about this, it was easy. Just put the key into accessory position, press the eject and button along...

    Factory "Sat"

    I found in the manual how to retrieve the EIN -- page 201 -- got that, went online and was activated in about 10 minutes. Guess I don't trust other people to read the manual while I'm fiddling with the radio :) Its interesting that they aren't blasting a 'demo' channel to sell the features of...

    Factory "Sat"

    Sound Thanks for the opinion, but big daddy G can't hear for |>~€,+}£ anyway, so OEM probably exceeds my ability to differentiate. Besides that I like 1940s, and talk - and the recordings aren't that good :)

    Factory "Sat"

    Dave, I did a little searching and found that Sirius needs to known the ESN and the radio type to active ate. It looks like ESN can be gotten by holding the cd eject button while the key is in accessory or some crazy sequence like that, but I have no idea what model radio it is. Do you...

    Factory "Sat"

    Manuals Yeh, once you've had satellite radio its pretty addictive. I love music that you just can't get on the radio, also on long road trips its great to be able to listen to syndicated radio programs without having to go on the great channel search ever hundred miles or so. I do have...

    Factory "Sat"

    My 06 is factory from a radio perspective. If I push the "mode" button I can select 'sat' but it appears this used vehicle isn't equipped with a 'sat' module. It does have what appears to be a 'sat' antenna back by the rear hatch. How do I add this functionality? I really want Sirius or...

    Turbo Timer for CRD

    Amazing After all that chatter of wether or not a timer is necessary no on actually even asked the right questions...it just turned into a urinating match. I want a turbo timer in my CRD too -- I don't care if I spend $.05 of diesel fuel unnecessarily. It would be worth it in peace of mind...

    HAM Radio

    Installation I've got an Icom 2800H -- large color display from about 3 or 4 years ago. Its replacement will likely be the 2700. I want the 'head' that is separate from the main unit to be the only thing visible. I think I've got a mount that will go in near the map lights. The radio...

    HAM Radio

    Radio / Mount / Antenna What radio do you have? Where did you mount the radio, and/or the 'face' How about your antenna? I fabricated a bracket over the week end -- I'll post photos as soon as I have a minute for my 'face' but I'm still not sure where I want to mount the radio...

    Turbo Timer for CRD

    I love my CRD -- I really do. The only thing I have determined that I absolutely hate is turbo cooling. I found a turbo timer at spdiesel.com, and am I am curious if anyone has installed it. If not, does anyone here have a wiring diagram -- I will need to find the color codes for various...

    HOW TO: Install an EVIC or OTIS (overhead computer)

    CRD Are the mod instructions here valid on the CRD model as well? I know I can 'test' it before I cut the headliner, but I'd hate to buy a part only not to be able to use it...

    HAM Radio

    I'm going to be using 2m ad 440 -- I'm curious what problems the fuel pump would have there....I've also got a CRD, so the design is different completely. Do you by chance have any photos of the Diamond mount -- or at least a description of the model you were using? I've not seen one that...

    HAM Radio

    Antenna But where the heck can you mount an antenna on this thing? I've seen wranger mounts that go 'behind' the tail light assemblies...has anyone seen simular approaches for the liberties? BTW, I like the Alinco solution -- that helps me a lot. I've been trying to figure where to mount...
