    Pushing my buttons

    A DAC button that works Ok so I checked with the meter and the top 2 pins go together and the bottom 2 go together. I crimped the fittings I already had and slid them on the top 2 pins. On a side note I now have a DAC button that does something. It turns off my DRLs! My other one worked last...

    Pushing my buttons

    Yeah I can see where to wire it up clearly. I'm wondering which 2 go to on/off and which 2 go to the indicator light. I have a meter so I could check it and I could test mine with the button on. I guess it wouldn't matter theoretically as long as I have one hot and one ground. I confess I have...

    Pushing my buttons

    I picked up a center console with 12v outlet, a DAC button, a Diff lock button, and 4 blanks this weekend at a junk yard. I was wanting to use the DAC for my DRL mod button. Right now I'm using an EL Cheapo. On the back of the button it has 4 pins from top to bottom. I'm assuming it is a hot and...

    Lost trailer hitch key

    For what it is worth I picked up one of those locks that you can match to your ignition key and it works great. After you cut it off you could replace it with one of those and feel like you got an upgrade.

    Need to step harder on the pedal to brake after tire change

    I'm no mechanic so I would get it checked if you are unsure but here's a thought to look in to. If you are experiencing sticking calipers your breaks may have a much stiffer pedal and when they are free it can get much softer but still stop just fine. I didn't notice mine pulling much bc both...

    CV axle concern

    I'm not sure of what it will hurt but you do not want that axle shaft to blow out or break. I think the general description there would be grenading the front end. Are you absolutely sure it is the cv shaft making the wheel not turn? These 4th gens have issues with calipers that will keep your...

    Decision to keep or switch vehicles

    You could add the things you are missing fairly cheap compared to trading vehicles (excluding horse power). I would say pay it off at least. Big vehicles with high hp are cool but not as cool as no payment. Drive this one and save up and by the bigger suv like a boss, with cash. Or get a land...

    Flare question

    So some bozo hit my 4runner and drove off without telling me. He hit the front right flare which the previous owner had replaced with an aftermarket and painted after a scuff. If a rock or tree had done this it would be a badge of honor but now it is just an irritating reminder. So an oem...

    3D Printed Cup-holder Insert

    I have used a little bit of everything but right now I teach Inventor so most everything I work on currently is in Inventor. I have a Dimesnion 1200es and 4 cube pro trios in the lab. We just picked up a 1/10th scale poison spyder rock racer to start working on some scale projects. The cool...

    Remanufactured cv axles from Detroit Axle

    My experience I ordered one of these for my driver's side. When it came in it was only about half way assembled and missing the rest of the parts. You have to send it back before they refund. After 9 or 10 calls over about 3 weeks they refunded my money. The customer service folks were nice but...

    Anyone switch from a more efficient car?

    How much is getting home worth? My last trade was from a 99 protege at 30 mpg to a 2005 V6 4x4 4 runner at 20 mpg. I drive about 70 miles a day. I live on the VA TN line and the weather changes quick. When the snow was falling (we got 2ft), the floods were washing out roads, or when it started...

    3D Printed Rostra Round Switch Plates

    The ridges you are seeing come from the layering process. It works much like an inkjet printer but lays down a bead of plastic. You can sand and paint for a smooth finish. There is also a process where you steam it with acetone in a wok that will make it smoother and stronger but that would be...
