Can't tell you anything about this person, I don't know him personally. Just know that his electrical knowledge is above average.

Before you go all "herd mentality" with that "Bypass" BS, please check out the youtube link and listen and think about what this gentleman has to say about Chrysler electrical circuits. He knows what he's talking about unlike most so called experts on forums. As I remember, he is retired from...

Well, all my comments were based on the "stock" wiring from the factory. There is no way in h**l anybody on the forum can tell what has been changed in the past by an owner to ALTER the stock wiring on a vehicle. My apologies for thinking that your truck wiring was still OEM.

And Mike Cook (also from B bodies) understood what I was saying about the seller & buyer names perfectly, thus his reply.

You are correct, there are only 2 or 3 different actual battery manufacturer's still around. They just slap a different label on the outside for whomever they are building for that particular day.

Go ahead, give it a shot. Then report back with your results.

Welcome Gary, you've got a couple of nice trucks there. I'm also retired engineer, aerospace and missile systems. Also Dodge only (except for the wife's Jeep). I've always wanted a RamCharger, but just haven't found a nice one yet (if there is such a thing anymore?). So, I've had to make do...

Let's see some photo's and a price, please.

corrosion on/in the rheostat? corrosion = resistance, resistance = voltage drop, voltage drop = dim lights common issue with many older mopars with a rheostat for lamp control.

Welcome Dave! Post up a few pics of your truck, please. Everybody likes to see what everyone else is working on.

I'm sure he did it just to piss you off. :eek:
