trailer power for running, left bright, and right bright are new fed through a 40 amp auto reset breaker, and 40 amp relays.

gave me fits, one of the relay socket pigtails i got from summit two of the wires were swapped in different pin locations!

once i got that figured out, everything i did worked the first time!

Easiest test is lift a side- install tire bar in wheel hand hole and yank. You'll know. Open til 5 or 7-12 on Saturday. Let me know if any time works for you.

There is a guy in Williamson steves truck repair.  I bring my dump truck to him to do any work on it since I just look at the lug nuts and my back starts hurting.  He did my inspection and is a straight guy

bought parts- got home opened the hood and pulled a hub cap.  decided the parts were wrong.

went back to regional, different guy at the counter.  handed him again the registration to pull the vin, he comes out with another box and asks for 40$ more.  haha


drank 3 beers and decided my impact gun still didnt budge a lug nut, pumped a tube a grease into the truck and called it good!


bah

Yeah, pretty much a mandatory to have 1" impact gun for MDT and up equipment. I worked at a HD repair shop and they had HF's earthquaker 1" impact gun and it work wonders.

alternatively, get a torque multiplier? http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/tow-rigs-trailers/1726730-anybody-use-torque-multiplier-remove-truck-lug-nuts.html

Alex helped me do the rear lug nuts.  it was terrible whip lash with a 5' bar on a 1" ratchet.  it was quite pain full in anyway we got them to budge. 

I thought about getting another impact, i guess its inevitable i need one. bah
