Venture a guess…

I don't know what this means ^^^^^,neither does my son. I'm assuming it's directed at me. IDC, ask a stupid question get a stupid answer. There are literally 100s of things you can control with a toggle,for what we know whatever it controlled isn't even there anymore. There's a leak under my truck, what is it has a better chance of getting an accurate answer. Here's one for you,my dad lives in kansas, what size are my pants

Umm so actually, it was directed at the guy who posted the 737 flight deck photo… I suspect he’s an airline pilot who was in the flight deck jumpseat. I’m also an airline pilot so I was saying he can relate to having loads of switches, and the way in which we don’t move switches just for the sake of moving them. That’s all man. Nothing more.

@Ricko1966 its all just aviation mumbo jumbo, not meant to be serious at all and nothing meant to offend sir. Our truck had a bunch of switches.. fun figuring out what they were!

I like throwing unknown switches and pushing weird buttons on newly purchased vehicles. There's really only three things that can happen.

1: "Oh cool, it does xxxx"
2: "Hmm, I don't see anything happening"
3: "It must have a problem because it's smoking"

For me it's usually scenario #2, the boring one.

Allegedly… that’s on the steering column lever with the wipers and cruise control switch.

And allegedly the horn is in the center of the steering wheel.

This thread is hilarious… serious questions from @wildgoose and love these reponses! Those switches are half the fun of these old trucks especially when you figure it out and say “that’s cool”…. Keep digging and report back…..

My toggles are actually factory, but had no idea what the heck they did. I accidentally changed the position on one without realizing. Next time I drove the truck, none of the lights worked. Spent quite a while diagnosing this and that. Research finally revealed that those switches were blackout switches…oops

When I got my square, there were 3 toggles . It used to be a diesel that was converted to gas. They were used for ignition and momentary start.

Or 4: “wow, that snapped off pretty easily…”

I went back and found your into post, no picture of the Rat.

Okay, enough about those switches. I would like to see the rat engine you have hiding under the hood of your pretty blue truck. Michael would you please post an engine picture. Maybe one of these forum jokester's will even spot something not factory that hooks to that switch.

Nice @wildgoose !!!

 

[Turbo4whl]

Very nice!

 

[AKguy]

Ahh yes… the folding canopy. Another popular mod no doubt. Where can I find that STC?

STC? Another aviation guy…

 

[wildgoose]

Thanks y’all… no idea where the current engine came from… originally this truck was a diesel with two fuel tanks but now with the Rat installed (didn’t know that term until reading it here) it only has one gas tank on left side. Someone obviously did an engine swap at some point.
