    Bottom of the fuse block in the cab is a fuse slot it is labelled “Command” re-place that fuse and you should be back up and running, had the same this with mine a few weeks ago, took me ages to find the problem. Good luck

    Lowering kit is lower than expected... issues!!

    Mate, you posted in another thread saying you had to jack up the control arms to be able to connect the shocks, a couple of us answered you there. your problem could well be just as simple as the shocks are holding down the front of the truck and it’s not safe to drive it with shocks without...

    Refurbishing Dash

    This is mine covered in leather, my original dash pad was a bit ratty around the speakers and the top vents so we just removed it and made up a template cut out all the rough edges and had an upholsterer sew it all together and glue it down, came up really well and was cheaper than freighting a...
