    Alpine iLX-007

    i have installed several of those radios, i generally wind up pulling them out and putting in a nex 4100 or 5100. it is an extremely anemic unit especially for the price tag apline puts on it. its nice looking, i will give them that, but it is really lacking in features and is rather expensive...

    LLY: Installing Auto Start with EFI

    im not sure if your the same person who PM'ed me on duramaxforums but ill answer this too just to be safe. old body trucks do NOT have chipped keys, but they do have an immobilizer in the ignition cylinder that uses a 2 wire resistor and reference system (passlock 2) to validate the cylinder...

    Backup Cam Finicky

    it sounds like maybe a bad ground, loose solder joint in the camera itself or a loose or corroded connector along the wire run. the NBS trucks use standard AV input from the camera, while its not an RCA cable, you could hardwire a aftermarket camera into the existing wires if the camera winds up...

    LB7: Electrical gremlins and I have no idea where to start

    i agree, i had a similar issue due to the ground from the engine block to the fire wall being omitted by a mechanic. replacing the ground corrected the issue. there is also a ground in the base of the driver A pillar that is for several of the dash components including the cluster. the firewall...
