I would like to install a remote backup camera system on my 2006, Big Horn Edition. I have seen several that use bluetooth technology. Has anyone purchased/installed a remote backup camera system on their '06? Any particular brand? Did you use wireless system or other? How about...

Actually, there is a brand new (6 month old) windshield on this truck. The factory windshield developed a 15" long crack after a severe ice storm last February.

Just recently my '06 BHE, 172K miles, the variable speed windshield wiper does strange things on different settings. At second setting from full on, it will sometimes wipe 3 or 4 passes (like it is fully turned on), then it will go back to its timed interval wiper pass. It does this...

I found the problem and fixed it ! The incompetents at the dealership forgot not only to plug the sensor back in, the 10mm cap screw that holds it in place was not completely tight either.

I found where the sensor is. I need to go physically look at it, because I very recently had new headlights installed (old ones were hazed) and the shop very well may have done something to this. One of the bolts that holds the headlight assembly in place fastens the temp sensor. I actually...

My 2006 SLT2500 outside air (ambient) temp show -40. Bad sensor? Where is it located?

Thanks all for your valued inputs. I always value each of your suggestions, as yall have been there, done that !!

My son in law has an '08 and one half of the power door mirrors doesn't work. Before we dismantle anything, is there a preferred "check this first"? The door switch, or the control motor in the mirror itself?

Want to buy a good working OEM AM/FM cassette player for my 91.5 D250. Manufactured by Clarion, Chrysler Model # 5269178. United Radio informed me this model is no longer supported in the repair industry. Contact me via email. -- email address removed --

Got it fixed. Fusible link was broken.....it was about to break off from the Y connector where all the fusible links are distributed. I installed an inline fuse in lieu of the fusible link. Heater motor works great now. Next fix is getting the goofy speedometer to work correctly. As soon as you...

I finally got around to working on this the last two days. I am not getting any power at fuse #1, the fuse that controls the heater/ac subsystem. I d

Update....Finally got a few minutes to further trouble shoot this issue. The blower motor is good. Hooked up direct power to it and it runs fine. reversed the hot/ground just for grins, and it runs fine in reverse. Next stop: switch in the dash.......I will post upgrade once I get into that !!

Finally had a chance to do some trouble shooting. I found the wiring schematic in my shop manual and pulled the connector at the resistor, inside the cab, and easy to reach. I have no power to any of the connectors at any of the speed selections from the switch. I figured this was this easiest...

Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to work on it.
