Q: on mon 06 jun 2005 034616 gmt trey treydog90spam@hotmail.com wrote in most states it is illegal not to have your fog of driving lamps hooked in with your head lamp system. when you turn on your high beams your driving and fog lamps should turn off. i would suggest you check your state laws and that is why oem fogs and driving lamps turn off when the high beams are on. state law in what state i have heard some funny reasons for having the fogs or low beams turn off when you click on the high-beams... this one takes the cake though. my brother and i got pulled over in redding one night and warned that driving/road lights are only to be used on country roads and not to be used when theres incoming traffic... it was actually kind of funny... an oncoming car flashed his brights... my brother wasnt on brights so he flashed back to show that he was on low beams... that was answered by a red spot light and followed by red & blue.. lol mac please remove splinters before emailing .

i guess you didnt visit my webpage... jr dweller in the cellar martin wrote its best to arrive at the shop with alignment in the ballpark. caster and camber are highly interactive on this vehicle ie you loosen the upper a-frame mounts and wiggle everthing around to change both settings. if they are way off youre far less likely to get a satisfactory result from some guy whos used to just setting the toe-in. do you change your own oil some of us have curiousity that goes a little further martin jr north wrote geezus christ go get it aligned cheapskate jr dweller in the cellar and next time buy a ford martin wrote i recently replaced upper ball joints on a 96 dodge 3500 1-ton van. this vehicle uses pressed-in ball joints and i replaced them with a standard c-frame tool. after a few months one of the ball joints backed itself out this is a poor design imo. i pressed it back in and tack-welded it in a few spots. so far its holding just fine. in order to do the weld i removed the upper a-frame. of course i didnt think to mark its position uses no shims just slotted bolt holes to adjust caster/camber until id already loosened the bolts and let things shift. id like to get the truck properly in alignment. if thats not possible at least driveably close until i buy new tires and have a shop fine-tune it. i think i can measure camber with a plumb bob and toe-ins a no-brainer but how in the devil can i measure caster also is there an online reference where i can find the alignment specs for my vehicle best regards martin -- -------------------------------------------------------------- home page http//www.seanet.com/jasonrnorth if youre not the lead dog the view never changes doubt yourself and the real world will eat you alive the world doesnt revolve around you it revolves around me no skeletons in the closet; just decomposing corpses -------------------------------------------------------------- dependence is vulnerability -------------------------------------------------------------- open the pod bay doors please hal im sorry dave im afraid i cant do that.. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- home page http//www.seanet.com/jasonrnorth if youre not the lead dog the view never changes doubt yourself and the real world will eat you alive the world doesnt revolve around you it revolves around me no skeletons in the closet; just decomposing corpses -------------------------------------------------------------- dependence is vulnerability -------------------------------------------------------------- open the pod bay doors please hal im sorry dave im afraid i cant do that.. .
