What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dropped my truck off at the tire shop to finally have my rims and tires mounted...............Lets go back in time for a second, Ordered Rims 16 day ago, they come in and of course one is damaged, they order a replacement , order the tires, they should have been there the next day, of course NOPE, replacement rim comes in, still waiting for tires, they FINALLY come in, drop off today and OF COURSE they have the wrong lugs and not sure if the stock TSPM's will work with the Black Rhino rims, so they have to keep it till tomorrow. New lugs should be in but Im not holding my breath.

 

Merica!

Where's that damn dictionary?

Quiz on Monday.

 

Deja vu, all over again!

 

When I do get the truck back I have a few projects for the weekend,

 

Anyone know if there is plug and play wiring to extend the wiring harness for your hitch? Suppose I could always make one with male and female connectors. It seems that my rear bumper will require a little longer harness, at least that's what I'm told.

I guess for what it is I can just cut off the existing receptacle and extend the wiring another 6".
Solder, heat shrink tubing. That'll work.

 

The unfortunate thing about these forums are; They are free, and moderated like they are not. After twenty years moderating other forums I've learned it's probably a good idea to settle in and keep low, as opposed to standing up and being up front. PM's to moderators work much better than the neon light reply's to others. Avatars and signatures that identify you as a left, right, middle anything, with inclinations of anything opposite of the forum values and purposes are also frowned upon and attract a lot of attention. I flew over that whole conversation like it was a fire for a reason.

https://www.etrailer.com has one, it's a huge site, but it's on there, other owners have bought one from there.

It's made by Curt, 12" or 24". That site is massive im still looking.

I'm pretty sure this will work, it just extends the 7 way connector.

If it were me doing this, I'd take the opportunity to add a modular 7+ pin male/female waterproof connector to make it just a bit easier to remove the bumper in the future vs getting the trailer connector out. Not that you plan to swap bumpers again but still might be nice if you wanted to touch up the paint or something?

I would rather have it nice and slim rather than the larger 7 pin trailer connector since you won't be disconnecting it often.

 

Just for a 6" extension I would think splicing would be the most economical.

 

Mine just thinks every new delivery is gun stuff.....hehe

 

There seems to be something missing from your post...

 

Does it count if I drive my 6 speed auto like it was a manual?

 

Bob. If you are trying to extend the existing factory wiring, I used this:

I just capped off and zip tied up the extra 4 pin connection

 

No.

 

What am I missing?
