    Yaesu FTM-500 UHF VHF Ham Radio Installation

    What did you use to attach the Yaesu front-end to the BuildRight Dash Mount? Did you use the Mountech Phone Mound Bundle? If so, which arm length would you recommend? Looks like a nice install.

    Engine code p2201

    That light came on for me last week when I was towing a trailer with about a 3000 pound load. When I checked the code (P2209) the light went out so I didn't worry about it. I hooked up my trailer again today and the light came back on while towing. I have about 100 miles to go. I will take it in...

    The holes are already there. No mods to the truck are required.

    F-250 Tremor Warn Winch Issue

    Here are two more pictures I just took of how I implemented my bracket design for the Peterbilt plate holder. The first photo is the top-view where you can see the rivets attaching the angle iron to the steel metal. (BTW, I applied the paint to protect against rust.) The second photo is the...

    F-250 Tremor Warn Winch Issue

    No, it’s not spring loaded but from the way it is designed, it doesn't move either. In the photo you can see that the steel the angle iron is mounted to, meets the plate holder in the down position.

    ARB Twin On-Board Air Install

    I positioned the compressor so I could access the air filters from the side. I also included a picture of my tank installation which I mounted using four “L” brackets. This allowed me to orient the tank at an angle so I could drain any water in it without having to remove it. WARNING: There...

    ARB Twin On-Board Air Install

    I mounted my ARB compressor on 3/4” channel steel which allowed me to ‘bridge’ that hump. Here are some pictures showing the modifications.

    F-250 Tremor Warn Winch Issue

    I purchased the plate holder from Amazon (search for Peterbilt plate holder). I built the bracket using a piece of 3/4” steel angle iron, some sheet metal and some galvanized bracket ties. As you can see from the picture, the plate holder is mounted to the steel angle iron (painted so it doesn’t...

    F-250 Tremor Warn Winch Issue

    Used my winch the other day to drag some salvaged power poles. It worked flawlessly. My custom mounted Peterbilt license plate holder does a great job of protecting the winch and its electrical connections from rain and road grime.
