I'm a bit late to the party, but I just became infatuated with the GoPro the other day when somebody posted a vid on another site. I took a look at the GoPro website and came across what is arguably the most..."wow" video I've ever seen. Apologies if it's already been posted elsewhere, but...

Sure there is a difference. A big difference. None of the vehicles shown in any of these Eastern Russia videos are on optional, recreational adventure trips/holidays. They are all working vehicles with a puropse, doing what they have to do to to sustain human life in a very remote...

I think the new models are all Bosch "smokeless" electrical systems. ;)

That Cease and Desist Order is ann interesting read. Page 4 is especially telling.

It's not twist you're worried about. It's lateral slop that makes things loose in the steering system. To find this slop, I generally have somebody sit in the vehicle and gently rock the steering wheel back and forth while somebody else looks at all the steering joints to see if one side of...

I didn't realize that this year's Dakar was being run entirely on pavement.

Payment received, clamps sent. Thanks for helping a guy out!

That's much better than my backup plan of mounting a shovel on each side of my truck if I couldn't sell off the extras. :D

Chili--I got yours first. Yeah, it is kind of funny--no big loss not being first--you can get them from the manufacturer here for the exact same price. :)

Still availablew The clamps are still available. Looking for a buyer who is going to order a set (or two) from the manufacturer anyway and is willing to help out a guy who ordered too many.

Meant to order 4 Quick Fist clamps from End of the Road; Ended up ordering 4 PAIR. :( . Trying to get rid of the extra 2 pair for what I paid--$10.95/pair + postage, new in box. Will sell together or separate. Part #10010, the size that holds axe handles, shovels, etc. . Details here. ...

Were it me, I'd just pull the head and have a look-see. You're going to want to carefully examine the tappets anyhow, and that can't be done through the cam covers and pushrod holes. Oh...and just a little bit of trivia--On the 2.5D, a mere 7.5-degree mis-timing of the camshaft (one tooth on...

Red Green would be proud of you! :D

With the black ground wire plugged in? Was the lightswitch on? Perhaps it would help if you were able to visualize what's happening with this basic circuit: When the light switch is turned on, electricity flows down the red wire from the chassis (lower right in the diagram), into the 4-way...

I don't know the bridge personally, but it looks like it's in great shape and it was made to support 140 ton locomotives. I don't think 3 ton truck is anything to worry about. Awesome trip and photos!

Nah--With the lights on, just pull the red frame wire out of the 4-way connector and touch it to the one on the new light assembly. That 4-way connector is only a single piece of flat metal that's curled up on the ends to form a round socket that as many as 4 male bullet connectors can plug...

OK. Sounds like the other lights all light up, so I can say with a great deal of confidence that the problem is power not making it through that 4-way connector to the red wire on the lamp assembly.

With the lights on, remove the red wire that comes out of the chassis rail from the 4-way connector and touch it to the end of the red wire to the new lamp assembly. The tail lamp should illuminate. If it does, the problem is in that lousy 4-way connector. Sometimes they break on the inside...

Hmm. I just want to verify that the opposite side works (brake and parking) and the brake light on the bad side works? If so, it is some sort of issue with that lousy 4-way connector (see pic)--either broken inside or just corroded and not making contact with your new red wire. Or, the...

Don't worry about the ground--It's fine. Just plug the 3 wires into the places you unplugged the 3 old light assembly wires and you should be OK. I'd recommend working those new bullet connectors into and out of their sockets several times to get a proper electraical contact.
