Yeah they did. I scooped these up for 50 bucks for the pair. They are ppi pros. Guy had 8 of them for a comp build he started and never finished.

Wowsa does he have any more?

No I got the last 2.

Still have no crank from the starter with the truck after attempting to install the aftermarket radio.

I'm stumped. I tried a new ignition switch and that didn't work. The truck will however go into gear in the run position without pressing the brake. Checked all the grounds and wiring in the cab. Pulled the radio fuse, etc.

Any ideas? Truck ran fine for 3 weeks after interior swap. No codes.

try swaping your crew cab in for your reg cab ecm. that might help narrow it down?

I'm wondering if you have a bad neutral safety switch. With no codes it's hard to diagnose...do you have access to wiring diagrams? I'm wondering if you jump the NSS to make the truck think it's in park if it would crank. Have you inspected the trans harness underneath the truck, and made sure it's connected tightly to the underhood fusebox?


Got my dash pad today, thanks again :)

Yeah I have a subscription to alldatadiy.

Was messing with installing the sony radio I bought and right before that the truck was fine, I only needed battery +12v, ignition and ground since I'm running all the speakers off amps so those are RCA's.....the aftermarket radio I bought seemed to be a bum and I could hear the radio turn on internally every couple times I turned the truck on. After that I went to start the truck and had no crank. The lights cut out like the truck is attempting to start but nothing from the starter. I'll have to check the NSS tomorrow and jump it and see if that does anything.

Mentioned it earlier but my donor interior had a remote starter and whoever did the install did a sloppy job soldering into the wires needed in the column.... I cut the aftermarket module out and taped the wires up.

I'm thinking of picking up a new steering column assembly out of a denali so that the wheel and airbag will match the light gray interior.

And no problem, glad I could help!

Got it to throw some codes.

U0101 came up 5 times
P0405 egr is deleted
P0504 Brake Switch Circuit 1-2 Correlation


Edit: TCM is fine, I just swapped the RC into the CC and it fired right up. I think the P0504 was the switch up on the column not clipped into place

Well now that I had codes that was pretty easy. The ignition relay went south that and the IGN A 40A fuse looked fine from visual inspection but I tested it and it wasn't fine :rofl:

Tripled up the deadener on the back wall. Crossovers are held on with velcro.

I got the radio and everything cleaned up today and even before I tweaked the sound it sounded amazing. I must say I really like Sundowns stuff. My Sony headunit I bought works flawlessly. I can have the ipod hooked up and control it and the headunit from my Note 3. EQ works from my phone, Pandora through blutooth works flawlessly as well. Way better than my appradio 2 does.

I ordered a nice DA sander and 200 bucks worth of sandpaper for sanding my plastics and future use as well.

Started my big 3, awaiting more 0/1 ga wire though. Already have passenger side battery to alt with 0 but am going to connect it all.

Conflicted about which is the best way to make the beauty panel in the back. I was going to use abs plastic but it's interesting makeup makes it hard to heat the way I want to go about it. I may just pick up some plexi tomorrow and give that a shot. Surprisingly the center console fits over the enclosure so well that it doesn't rattle at all. I thought I was going to have to throw some deadener on it but nope.

Think I should build a panel on the drivers side to match the passenger sides amp rack?

Detailed the little truck today, it had a bunch of rail dust so I gave it a nice washed, claybared it and then sealed it with 2 coats of Opti-Seal then a spray wax and quick detailer to keep the chemicals from the road at bay.





I ordered LED's and blue needles to switch my interior lights over. I ordered white and blue leds and resistors I need to do them. Also ordered led strips for the cluster as it seems to light the gauges much better and there won't be as noticeable hot spots.

Ordered a Dynabrade DA sander and am just waiting on my sandpaper to show up so I can start sanding the interior plastics.

:thumb:

Also was looking through stuff on eBay and this popped up. Ordered it for when I go to my buddy's house that has a first gen 12v, 3 2nd gen 12v, and a 4th gen 6.7.

Not really related but got our new DX235LCR today.


I'll really be able to tear down houses and build boulder walls now!

Fit in the shop with a 1/2" to spare up top thanks to the hand rails


Going to tint the windows like our DX180LC, and try to add some sort of bling stack-wise and put 30" Light bars up top above the cab ....also have a DX85-3 that is being plummed right now for a grapple.

Going to be a busy year

Looks awesome man. Seems like more and more of that Doosan equipment is popping up. Looks like really nice stuff. You should post more pics of the walls you guys build, I've seen you post a couple up and they look really good. I think having a job like that would be a lot of fun because your always being faced with a new challenge, plus you get to use awesome equipment :thumb:

Thanks! And yeah, I used to post pictures but my Dad was picking rocks from one of my Grandpa's fields along a tree line and the neighbor believed they were his rocks even though they came from my grandpas field ....so now he decided to file a suit that my Dad took them.

Once it gets resolved I will start a thread up on Lawnsite again of my boulder work and other parts of the company's day to day stuff because people seemed to really enjoy it. I've gotten many many PM's and emails from people asking about it.

I've continued to take pictures but just haven't uploaded and posted them.

I'd say more but the guy is unreasonable in my opinion and it's just gotten ridiculous, it's irritating, frivolous and really sad actually.

Congrats on the new hoe!

I know brand isn't everything, but I don't much care for Doosan. IMO just an other cheap throw away machine. From a business stand point there are plenty of reasons to buy one though. So this isn't a dig.

Looking forward to you guys getting it all resolved then. It's absolutely ridiculous to go and sue someone over rocks especially since they were on your grandpas field. Sounds like a dick of a neighbor. Is he making this a long drawn out ordeal?

People fight over rocks everyday. Our business has been building boulder walls and limestone/Lannon stone for over 30yrs, and we have had a few people try some shady stuff to make a quick buck. Lucky for us, none have worked. Hope you guys get it straightened out soon to. The hoe looks nice. What thumb are you putting on it?
Around here, boulders have really fallen away, and limestone has takin over. Which is fine with me, way cleaner, level lines, correct set backs, and rows stay clean.
Many people don't understand that boulder rows are not suppose to intersect with the next row. But I'm picky when it comes to that.
