    I just installed the Sylvania Silverstart zXe bulbs, xenon halogen, very bright, if switching to those is an option for you.

    Connector Fire

    Mine did not rest against the connector, it rested against the wires, which will wear faster. If you start two inches of wire loom/wrap by the stud the ground is connected to, where you can reach better, wrap end in tape, feed the loom up the ground four inches, wrap in tape, and repeat, you can...

    Connector Fire

    So I did end up checking out my co-workers truck, same as mine but a 2500, 2003 four door, 4wd, long bed, auto, single rear wheel. He has the same un-insulated braided ground wire rubbing on the wires of the top connector. I felt the wires going to the connector and the insulation is starting to...

Epoxied everything shut with a two part 'plastic bonder' epoxy. Hard part will be wiring it back into the harness with...

    This pic should show location. It is looking towards the front of the vehicle. The bolt heads in the foreground are for the trans fluid pan. You can see where the ground wire attaches to the body on the left (drivers side). There are two connectors mounted on the bracket. The one that shows the...

    I was idling truck (2003 3500 SO engine, auto) unloading some trash, noticed an electical fire smell, and sure enough, it was my truck. Went to cut engine off, noticed gauges were haywire. Not much smoke, opened hood, saw small flame on drivers side behind the engine. Quick squirt from fire...
