Thanks for watching. I appreciate the comment as well. I have a new truck now and I plan to have some more content very soon. I’m about to show everyone my new truck possibly this week.

I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. Also, thanks for commenting! I am trying to be as honest as possible in my videos and show what my issues were and how I fixed them

3rd gen Cummins trucks are from 2003-2009

I apologize. I’m still learning how to make the videos better.

I have not posted the video yet as I ordered the wrong top. Yes, you can remove the canvas from the frame and install a new one.

I did not have heated seats in my truck. The new seats did not have heaters in them either. I would have to figure out that wiring.

@@JayRays1truck I mean did your truck have the on off switches all ready or did you have to wire switches in

Unfortunately I don’t remember and I sold the RV. I want to say yes, but I really don’t remember

Thanks, but I’m not as awesome as you are.

Sounds like it was a good system

@richardbates2367 Hmmm. I made this video to show what I did to my truck. I hope it helps someone who is thinking about doing the same thing to theirs. If you like the radio you have, which it appears that you do, I’m happy for you. I wanted bluetooth and Apple Car Play in my truck, and this was one of the least expensive radios I found to accomplish that. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Glad I was able to help!

I had to get an additional RCA cable for the video with an RCA to RCA adapter to connect the 2 cables. Then I also had to add wire for the positive (red) 12 Volt from the radio. I tied the signal for the reverse input to the back up lights.

The Taco Casa I stopped at was in Eastland

I was able to get the connectors for the new seats so I didn’t re-do any wires, but I had to wire in the new seat to the existing wiring. The wire colors are a bit different so this is what my video was about.

I actually just got the single din mounting plate from Walmart. It worked pretty well

Yes. I have 2 buttons in the garage, 2 hand held openers, and the car button all work

@@JayRays1truck oh good. Thanks

The radio is doing well. It is okay at doing 1 thing at a time. You have to let it fully boot up before connecting your cable to your phone for using car play. The sound quality is good, but I also added a DSP in my truck so I have more control over the sound. I have the EQ on the radio flat since I am using the DSP. I would buy it again for the price, but when I get the money, I will probably upgrade to a nicer unit. I am looking at a Pioneer but it is around $1,500.

Burn

Why?

The fan shroud is missing in my truck as well as the belt driven fan. I am using only electric fans on my truck. I did not see any washer behind the pulley that I remember

Nice. Thanks, I love Taco Casa’s tacos.

Actually, the four rubber pads you speak of are meant to isolate your vehicle from ground and make your ride smoother. But perhaps I’m wrong. We shall see. For $6 it’s worth a try.

@@JayRays1truck Think of it this way, you don't die when your vehicle is struck by lightening for a reason. Best wishes on your research adventure.

@@kookiethebearThat proves that tires are an insulator

@@kookiethebearI’m not sure if this will do good or bad for my truck, but for $6 I’m going to find out. I don’t enjoy getting shocked when I get out of a vehicle so if this works I’m good. If it doesn’t help, I may remove it later. Who knows?

@@JayRays1truck The rubber strip will not help with the shock events. If you care to watch, this is a good source (and not too long-winded) describing the science and a real/free solution - ruclips.net/video/4S0EBxT60pw/видео.html

It has been my experience that most newer vehicles have those screws covered by a piece of plastic. Even my 2003 Ram has them covered and the whole grab handle is plastic. The Chevy work truck I’m currently in has plastic grab handles. The Ford work truck I used to drive was also the same.

@@JayRays1truck pulling a small piece of plastic out of an unseen area seems like an easier fix than attaching a grounding strap to the bottom of a vehicle. Hell, most people lose or break the covers the first time they take their door apart, anyway. That's how I happened to stumble upon this "fix" for getting zapped.

@@TheCharleseyeperhaps, but the bolts are well over an inch down inside that plastic on my truck. I had to use a small extension and socket to reach the bolts and my fingers are too large to fit in the holes that the bolts are in.

I hope they are working well for you

That is part of why I love my Diesel truck.

I looked. I was not able to get the link to copy for some reason. There are several options on Amazon if you type in Rimoody 9 inch radio. It looks like this particular one has gone up to $89 from when I purchased it back in June at $72. They have some others that start at $63 which say Apple car play and Android auto.

Right on! Glad you were able to fix it!

I currently have my rail pressure at 2. Timing is at 3, and I am at Power level 5. What is ramping up to 20? Boost pressure? Do you mean 20K rail pressure? I have seen 36 psi boost and 29K rail pressure in my truck with no issues. If increasing pressure and adding timing, take note of how responsive your truck is and how much(if any) smoke comes out the tail pipe. If it starts to be more than a puff of black smoke when you hit the skinny pedal, you can back off on the rail pressure a little bit to clear it up.

Also, I have ran my truck tuned at power level 9 with RP at 3 and Torque at 3 before. Only issue is it blows black smoke quite a bit even without a load on my truck. If you do that, make sure you pay attention to your transmission temperature

You may have to contact MADS Smarty.

@@JayRays1truck I did

I bought it from amazon. I’ll try to find the link.

Are you referring to the ones under the filters? You have to pop those off.

Thank you! I agree. Fog lights will happen at some point. I have received the tail lights now so that video will be released soon. I have a bit of editing to do still.

Are you talking about the SW 1 through SW 9 settings?

I reused the one that was there. You may be able to find a new one, but I didn’t look for one.
