Original poster here. Wow I thought this thread was dead, I first posted this over two years ago. Sorry to hear you're having similar issues Jamierunner. Yeah mine never ran right from the day the ebay guy dropped her off. I should have returned it right then & there but I liked the truck so...

3.slo

There's some sweet setups in this thread. Mine is pretty basic in comparison. I use a heavy-duty cargo net bag that I snagged from my sister's Astro Van. The loops on the bag just happen to fit perfectly between the headrests & the wheel-well tie-downs.

Your thermostat might be stuck open. This will make the truck take forever to warm up. The O/D will not work until the motor reaches its normal operating temperature. I can't comment about the check engine light or the error codes. Might be a separate issue *shrug*. Good luck.

Oops yeah I guess I forgot to add fuses to my schematic but not to the actual installation. I have fuses all over the place, especially between the battery & relay as you suggested. Fuses are our friends.

A couple of people have asked how I ran the wiring to the roof lights. Short answer is through the third brake light cover. There's already a hole in the roof there, no need to drill another.

Project Complete Well I'm finally done installing my off-road lights. Here's some photos... Lights 3 x Bosch 55w halogen 8" x 4" 2 x Pilot Automotive PL-1055C Driving Light Kit 2 x Pilot Automotive PL-1074B Fog Light Kit Thanks everyone for the help.

Option C Probably a little late to suggest this but you could also stick the spare up on the roof. Gives the truck that on safari look. Not for everyone though.

Yeah I replaced my switch a little while ago with one from ebay. Worked like a charm. I think I spent like $20.

I'd think shifting in & out of 4WD every time you leave your garage is likely to cause more ware than a hill start in 2WD. Especially on a hard surface. Personally I wouldn't worry about it. To answer your question though, will starting off in low range Vs high be easier on the clutch, I...

Since I had my fluid changed the light has stayed off. I've also been avoiding long hills & I try to stay under 65 mph. Towed a small boat a few times this Summer with no problems although I stayed off the highway for that. Seems like clean fluid & not beating on the truck helps. I've not had...

Yeah yeah, you need to do some serious waterproofing in addition to installing a snorkel. Would love to see some pics & a price sheet.

The '95 V6 3.0 is not known for its power. Its often called the 3.slo. If you're planning to do a lot of towing, especially in hilly areas, you might be disappointing with its performance. Mine is a real dog on hills but its not running properly & needs help so I maybe a little bias. Others have...

Did you take her wheeling? Mud on the rims or drivetrain can screw with balance & cause vibration issues. Two minutes with a hose might fix it. If not then yeah, sounds like your new 33"s are out of whack. Maybe try rotating them or get them re-balanced.

My windshield leaks when it rains. I probably need to bring it to an auto-glass place & have it resealed but I figured I'd run this by you folks first. Anyone have an el-cheepo, down-n-dirty fix for a leaking windshield? It drips from just above my rear-view mirror. This can't be good for...
