LEDs are not good for this application I highly recommend getting the regular bulbs and just getting the rubber colored covers that go on the bulbs and it'll do all the same thing change the colors with the factory bulbs last 10 times longer than LEDs

I like to color of the LEDs and I believe you have the statistics on factory vs LED bulbs mixed... LED bulbs can live up to 30 times longer than their incandescent counterparts...this makes them perfect for in dash applications to me🤷

Is it true a bad blower makes a resistor go bad? Need to replace both?
@TheMileHighMechanic
@TheMileHighMechanic 16 дней назад
No, a bad blower will draw more amperage on the circuit and possibly pop a fuse before the resistor. All the resistor does is limit the power being sent to the motor.

Hello friend 👋... I have a 05 element morning start is ruff for like 4 seconds.. i replaced new spark plugs and coils and fuel injectors and throddle body plus new battery.. only thing im waiting on a hopeing could be my issue is the fuel pump.. what symtoms did you get before replacement?? My element have 200k Miles..
@TheMileHighMechanic
@TheMileHighMechanic Месяц назад
My fuel pump was actually completely fine when I replaced it, I was putting a turbo on it, so I needed a higher flowing pump. However the general rule of thumb with the fuel pump is that I you can hear it prime when you turn the key, then it is working. If you cannot hear it prime then it is dead...if it is an intermittent problem it is likely not the fuel pump...also if it starts and runs, it is not the fuel pump.

@swedeis
@swedeis Месяц назад
You can also swap the speedo and tach to put the tach front and center, which is pretty nice for track use. If you're someone that enjoys that. BTW, careful with LED lights, especially taillights as the Cruise Control monitors the resistance on the brake lights and won't work with the lower resistance of the LED bulbs.
@TheMileHighMechanic

Once you add some resistors to the turn signal circuit they will work, but I agree, adding LEDs can be tricky in some areas.

I’m trying to build this with a 5 in lift. Beautiful man. I’m aiming for a setup that builds 7 psi at 4k rpm’s. I’ve yet to run the math for it though. How much boost are you pushing at 4k? What’s the sizes in the setup?
@TheMileHighMechanic
@TheMileHighMechanic Месяц назад
It is a gt3582 turbo (62mm) if I believe. It doesn't really start to hit boost till around 3.5-4k so I would say around 1-2psi at 4k. It's a pretty big turbo, so it spikes very late, but when it hits, it hits.

Did you have any hyper flash or need to add any resistor to the rear lights? Just plug and play?
@TheMileHighMechanic

Not exactly hyper flash, but the whole circuit needs resistance. After replacing the fronts and the rear signals, none of them would work. I added resistors on just the front, and it seems to work...blinks fast, but it works.

Thanks for getting back to me. They do not function properly. I tested the cruise control at various speeds above 35. I used your link to purchase the right ones to fit my 1998 ford ranger. I have owned this vehicle since 2002 and I know the cruise control hasn’t worked in a very long time. My controls were melted off from the hot Hawaiian sun so I figured I would try replacing them after watching your video. At least aesthetically the steering wheel looks nice now. Do you think they are bad and I should return to Amazon and swap out for a different set of controls?

@@diegodoby950 sounds like it could be a synchro issue. To rule out the shifter assembly, I would try to hit every gear while the car is off, if you can do that then the shifting assembly is likely to be fine. I would check/change your transmission fluid as low or old fluid can affect the way the transmission shifts. If the fluid does not fix it, it might be an issue within the transmission itself.
