Todd, Condolences to you and you family in this sad time. God's grace and love are with you all as you surely know.

That is great news for sure. Now, be sure to hold back the "I'm free" enthusiasm by not playing GI Joe the parachutist whilst exiting the Rams. The old adage "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing" applies here, too. ;):D

IIRC you can still over ride the auto high beam by flipping the multifunction switch to the low beam position when you detect the high beams inappropriately activating.

Maybe the truck driver responded to the inadvertent high beams by turning his headlights from the courteous-flash warm mode to the continuous retinal-roast mode along with unheard inappropriate vocal protests.;)

Does you model have the side proximity sensors with arrows in the rearview mirrors?

Our 2019 1500 Limited works that way, too. I think the only time I had to manually intervene was with an oncoming car that had headlights tweaked from some front end damage and the headlights appeared to have less than a couple candlepower each and pointed in any direction but straight. The...

Still have mine from 1972, too; somewhere out in the garage, staples showing signs of rust. I initially got out of the AF after my first 6 years and got a job with Pacific Northwest Bell in Olympia working in the frame rooms. 1st incoming stage, rows and rows and rows of wires on stacked upon...

Ron, Here is an informative article that points out some information regarding solder vs. crimp to wrap your brain around: https://millennialdiyer.com/articles/motorcycles/electrical-repair-crimp-or-solder/ Your idea to solder-tin the wires then crimp is not a recommended method as you will...

You mean like pulling into the drive-in and pulling the choke out about 2/3 of the way so it sounds like you have a 3/4 or full race cam? :cool::D

Here is an educational moment for those wondering why a fusible link is smaller. There is some "magic smoke release engineering" as to why a fusible link is smaller than the circuit it protects. A simple explanation from auto shop 101 states: "A fusible link is usually four (4) wire sizes...

Thanks for sharing Gary! Brings back memories from the 60's when the extended families would spend the day digging razor clams (Western Washington beaches), then, in assembly line fashion clean them, coat them in thick pancake batter (often seasoned with the addition of a splash, or ten, of a...

Ron, I have donned my Nomex in preparation for my response and opinions. I am sure it will probably open lots of opposing or alternate dialog. Anyway, in my opinion and experience you should address the areas where you have observed the excess heat. You have the proper equipment and skills to...

Ron, My old analog brain is having a tough time remembering the issues with voltage readings in parallel with the ammeter. Is there sufficient resistance across the ammeter to get a good voltage reading? And, will your voltage reading be negative when the current goes negative on the ammeter...

I would seriously consider getting the wheel well liners.

I worked in the financial industry regulatory section (Washington state) at that time. Lost a couple acquaintances from Cantor Fitzgerald that day. Phone went dead as I was calling. The majority of their US workforce was in a special meeting that morning. 658 were lost. A coworker of mine...
