Check your breakers on your big 3. I had one of mine need resetting a couple months ago. It wasn't tripped, but must have gotten rattled off-road or something. Could be partially tripped and need resetting or something.

 

My breakers? Relays?

 

Do you not have breakers that look like this on your big 3? I though you did yours like mine, but I could be wrong.

Blue Sea Systems 285-Series Circuit Breaker

You'll get it done fast. Mine was already pre-wired from when I installed the compressor. Plumb the solenoid, plumb the airl line, hook up the pigtails, plug in the switch. Solo it took less then an hour to pull and replace.

I'll be pulling my rear again to look at the leak from the ARB. I researched it quite a bit and it seems if the pre-load isn't high enough the RD132 can leak from the internal portion of the case. Only way to find out is to pull it. I should have the seal housing kit from ECGS by Friday so I might start tearing into it Friday night. I love doing shit twice. It's why I went with an ARB. To give me practice at pulling the diff. lol

Other than the damn rear locker acting up my rigs in perfect shape right now. I thought the duals would be the thing giving me headaches but they're running great.

 

No breakers. But shit I might add them since I’m thinking I’ll be redoing, retracing a lot of stuff anyway. Definitely didn’t work on the car this afternoon, took a 5 hour nap. Oh well. I’ll get to it tomorrow. I just ran out to it cause I thought I left the windows open and started it. Volts are in a good range but my headlights have the tiniest amount of flicker going on

 

1,500 miles ago I did OEM Spark Plugs and NGK Wires, OEM Upper and Lower Plenum Gaskets, and OEM PCV Valve and Grommet. Think that has anything to do with what's going on?

 

Well that's a new face in this thread.

It wont hurt to add them if you redo it.

I doubt it. Sounds like an electrical issue. If it was spark plugs/wires you'd have a misfire and not a complete shutdown.

 

I'm back in California for 2 weeks for work again. The guy at the rental car counter said "we've got an SUV for you!" I'm thinking cool, maybe I got a 5th gen, they're common rentals. Nope, he hands me the keys to a mitsubishi outlander. I died a little inside getting into that car.

 

Well this could probably cause some problems

 

possibly

 

Time to get a new lug and see if that’s all it is

 

Exactly what I’m thinking. And hoping. Just kind of stumped on how that happened since the since was tapped at the ends and insulated

 

Nah just tape it up. It'll be fine.

Haha it should have insurance through the credit card. A friend sent me this earlier. Reminded me of the episode where he destroys the rental like 3 times over and takes a handful of the insurance waivers.

 

read the fine print, some dont cover the loss per day of the rental when in the shop.

 

Looked like there were quite a few fire roads in the mountains east of here when I flew in . I think it's only FWD, I don't see a selector for AWD or 4x4 unless it's full time. I'll have to crawl under and see what I'm working with here.

I might have to check that out. This thing at least has a little bit of clearance so it's got that going for it. I'm sure there's some dirt roads it'd do fine on. I'd be down to meet up and grab a beer or something sometime while I'm out here if you want too

I don't plan to actually beat it hard enough to end up in the shop. The company would probably frown upon that... Although last time I returned the mustang with a check engine light on. But that wasn't my fault. It tried to kill me.

 

im in Anacrime 17-19 FYI

 

Gotcha. I'm staying in Long Beach this time. Huntington Beach was totally sold out, I guess with this surfing competition or something.

 

negatory, got a date with a mouse

 

i need to do a once-over on the runner this weekend. Got places to be next weekend.

 

Yeah I'm staying in an pretty nice looking area, I plan to stick to that area if I'm walking haha. Not as nice as the place I had in HB for sure. Balcony looking out over the ocean was hard to beat.

Kick the tires and check the oil. It'll be good to go.
