Re: Dash lights

I have seen that problem caused by the bulk head connector. Check the connection under the hood.

Re: Dash lights

I would guess its dirty connections including grounds all through your lighting circuit. Also if you are running halogen bulbs this will add a lot of heat to your switch. I went with headlight relays and this helped a lot.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
