    Unknown electric draw

    I had the same issue with mine once. The brake controller wasn't bad though, it was just all crapped up creating an issue.

    New Owner - 1st Question

    I had to be at work in CT Thursday morning, so I left my place in NH at 5:am Thursday with an empty bed. I really thought that the suspension was going to feel even stiffer now than before with the addition of the Roadmaster Kit, but it was actually smoother. All the bumps were still there, but...

    New Owner - 1st Question

    Right now I have good heavy load of stone, concrete, brick, steel, cast iron, and heavy lumber loaded in the bed of the truck, so I can only say how it feels at the present time with a bed full of heavy tools and equipment, etc. I did test drive it before and after adding the sway bar however...

    New Owner - 1st Question

    I installed a couple of simple suspension upgrades yesterday... I added a Roadmaster Active Suspension kit out back (Kit #4614 for 2-1/2" wide springs). I also added an ADDCO Sway Bar up front. I liked the fact that the truck was already setup for a sway bar, drilled and tabbed, ready to go...

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    Thanks Fellas, but I'm going to have to pass. At this point I have no faith in the original OEM springs up front. Current plan is to install a Roadmaster kit at the rear, add a sway bar up front, with a set of 1" lift springs.

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    The closest local spring shop to me that I know of would probably be Palmer Springs over in Providence., RI. http://palmer-spring.com

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    I live in southeastern CT and northern NH... consequently, I have to cross through Mass all the time. I always dread taking the truck. It's the only state I'm aware of that repaves the road, but not the overpasses!!! The highways themselves have been repaved, but the overpasses you cross over...

    Sorry... Forgot to post this last shot. Found a few bits of wire loom hanging around the shop, so I made a little cover to go over the foam... Done!

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    I looked at the Deaver site... No mention of Dodge ... only the usual Chebby, Ford, Jeep & Toyota Oddly enough, the lead image on their home page is a shot of a Dodge Cummins... Go figure?

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    I'm very familiar with Alcan and agree... Dealers are sketchy at best, so not so much. The folks over at Alcan are on my short list, but like you said... not the cheapest... $610 to start for the fronts, and a 6 to 8 week lead time on all orders paid up front. Alcan is custom builder, however...

    Replacement for A/C Cycling Switch

    I used a Murray 35720 to replace the stock cycling switch on my 1990 1st Gen. It uses a dual mounting bracket that has the same dimensions as the original OEM unit, so it bolts right up to the original bracket if you like. I relocated mine however, so I could access to the pressure switch behind...

    Leaf Spring Replacements

    So what's the general consensus here in regard to quality replacement leaf springs? The front springs on my 1990 1st Gen are frowny faces; bent over and long dead, often bottoming out on the bigger potholes, which coincidently are located at every single highway overpass when crossing the state...

    New Owner - 1st Question

    Took the wife and cats for another road in the truck this weekend. I had to use the Blend Door and apply a little heat to the A/C this trip however. My wife was to cold now with the A/C running. You can't win for loosing eh... The new alternative Cycling Switch is definitely operating as it...

    1St Post: W250 lacks power . Suggestions?

    My 90 was less than impressive when I first got it, so I made a few changes. The two items that made the biggest difference for me. First was swapping out the original turbo for the 16mm job, but the biggest gain came when I got rid of the old diaphragm style fuel pump, and installed a piston...
