Looks like turbo boost Kitt.

Possible air shocks control??? Or for old fashioned spark plug in the pipe for the flame throw effect?

Sounds good to me.I`m no electrical engineer,so I`m not familiar with all the terms used.But,that doesn`t make this explanation wrong.Somehow I somewhat followed that and I recall the "thump" from AM radios back in the days.I understand this is a way to cut power to the speaker until the radio is powered up.Before stereos there were many enhancements used on AM radios.A reverb switch is the one I recall.

Cool, I thought this explaination was funnier then crap... Glad someone else is will to jump on board with my explaination and ruin thier reputation!!!

Am I supposed to be drunk or high when I read this? I really don't want to have to pee all night and I'm out of potato chips.

Although, I don't prefer to be either

That`s not the answer?

I think everyone would have understood that if you had used somepunctuation!!!!(<That`spunctuation right there) What up?Are you fresh out or do you tend to rant through these episodes?

Sillyoldman · 12-24-2009, 08:49 AM

I have the same switch in my truck. Do not flip the switch! Mine projects a naked piture of Rosie O'Donnel on the windshield. Thats why there are two Off settings following the shock setting. Hope this helps.

**John Fabris** · 12-24-2009, 01:36 PM

I just did a google search for "switch on on shock off" and one of the result pages showed that text, I read it and thought, "whaa??" and then figured the board what get a kick out of it... Still have no clue what it means nor what that switch is for....

By the way I have a set of correct wheels and tires for you truck. The wheels are bent and the tire are dry rotted. But they still contain the original air. I would like to sell the "AIR" while the hobby is strong. Please let me know if your interested.
