Thanks Shorty.

Sorry to say, that there is no local dealers in my area. When you call the parts stores around here, they have no idea what you are talking about. I have even called NAPA with no luck.

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a supplier or too that sells Delphi Metri Pack 280 connectors. I understand about using Google as my friend. But what I would like to know if anyone from the group uses any particular supplier to buy Delphi Metri Pack from. Anyone know about these guys, Custom Connector Kits ? Just looking for leads. I need to buy Metri Pack 280 5 way connectors, male and female and also Metri Pack 280 3 way, male and female. Thanks for any help, Al

Hi Everyone, I was looking for what size wire gauge I need for the rear lights. I looked in the resource guide with no luck on finding wire size. I am working on adding some LED lights ( running & turn signal ) to the rear of the truck. I need to build a small wiring hardness about 12 " long. It looks like the wire gauge size coming off the lights is 18 ga.. Is that correct ? It also looks like the stock wire size is 18 ga.. Using 18 ga. marine wire work for the small wire hardness ? I will be also using a Delphi Metri Pack 280 that can handle 5 wires for part of the hardness. Thanks for any help, Al

Thank you for sharing your photo. I like the paint job. Be safe on the road and enjoy the ride.

Nice looking truck. 👍 Is Greg back in business again ? I was just curious.

Thanks Henry for putting a smile on my face. 😁

2X. I hate to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. You boy's take care. Al

LOL. 😎 👍

Hi ras, Thank you for your reply. Right now I am still dragging my butt to do the job. Just the other day I sprayed the front bolts with PB Blaster. Right now I have a few home projects to finish. You know, it's always something. 😄 Thanks for the tips. Alan

Hi Paul, I wish you the best in your sale. I hope some day to meet back up again. I always enjoyed are talks. Al

Hi Carl, The truck looks sweet ! 🤠 I also like how you trimmed out other parts of the truck in black. The truck should be about 10 mph faster. lol. Al PS; Thanks for the heads up last night.

Hi Nwcid, Welcome to the forum. As Steve said that there is a national rally in October. There is also a west coast rally. Hopefully Chad will chime in and tell you more about that rally. There are also a few fellows from the northwest. Hopefully they will chime in. Best of luck, Al

Thanks Bob for the info. The reason why I asked the question about the bolts is because I need to mount 8"x12" box on the rear of the cab of my truck. I don't want to drill holes thru the cab. Your doing some nice work. Keeping it going. Al

Hello Bob, I have a question for you. The grey/aluminum colored plate where it's mounted at. Where the bolts already there on your truck ? Or did you add the bolts to the truck ? Al

2X with what Carl said. Be very careful with the faux wood trim. Have a beer or two after you have the faux trim removed.

Hey Rocky, I think you mean Carl. 😁

Hi Guys, My Jackalopee is also mounted to the back wall inside the storage area with no condensation problems. Also being inside the storage area you don't need to make it water tight. I have an extra hole that is open. No need to plug it up. Also on my back wall I have a 3/4" piece of plywood (that because that's what I had laying around) that I use to mounts things to. Al

I hope this thread will help.

Hi Bob, I think there is some old threads about the subject somewhere on the forum. But I can't find it right now. I even have a picture or to for you on how I did mind but I can't send it because the file is to big. I was trying to send it to by a p/m..Sorry about that. It just won't go.

Curious minds need to know. 😎

That's the video. Good luck.

On the gen 2 trucks there is no screws on the back of the cover like the gen 1 trucks. One of the guys here on the forum posted a video how to take your mirrors apart. Don't hold this on me. If I can remember right, you have to remove the mirror it's self. You need to tilt the top of the mirrors all the way in toward to mirror cover. This should bring out the bottom of the mirror. Then you need to be real careful about pushing the bottom of the mirror upward. There are tabs on the plate or backing that the mirror is mounted to. You can break those tabs. Hopefully someone will post the video. I think Google can help find the video. I hope this can help. Al

Hi Bob, This is just an idea. See if they are willing to sweeten the deal by throwing in a full service on the truck. If they do, that is one less thing that you have to do. Ask if the fluid and filter has been changed in the transmission. That job is going to cost a few pennies. Can't hurt to ask or negotiate in the deal. Best of luck with the deal. Al

Hi Cory, You need to ask yourself a question or too. How much work do I want to do and how much money am I willing to send. That way you can get some idea what your cost could be and if I want to do the work. The best way to do the interior in my opinion is to start with removing the seats. Then you can start with the door panels. Looking for more work, remove the panels in the sleeper. And if you want to tackle a big work, remove the headliner. I think you get the idea. The cost of dynamat is expensive. There is other stuff with a lower price and works just as good. Right now I can't remember the name of the stuff what I used on my truck. It will come to me later. Just trying to give you an idea. Al Brain fart is over (it lasted little over an hour). lol. I remember the name of the material I used. It's called Rattletrap. It has 3 X's print on the aluminum surface. You want 80 mil. I bought mind off of Ebay. Good luck with you project. Do a search on the hdt site. I remember some past threads.
