Cool, at least I hope so now.

Yeah, picked up a 2002 3/4 ton QC shorty 5 speed. Got the PowerMax Comp ready to hook up, just waiting for my pump cover to get here.

I keep getting that uncontrolable urge to tap that wire, but I think I can hold out for a couple more days.

The hardest part was getting up the nerve to pull the trigger on the drill. Here is a link to the part from JC Whitney. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...atalogId-10101

Hey does this kit include a gasket for the lights. I'm afraid of water leaking in from car washes and rain. And did you use the switch they provide or wire it into your running lights?

If your worried about leakage, then seal it up with some silicone as well...I was kinda weary about leaking and rust so I added silicone under the gaskets...overkill yes, but it puts the mind at ease. Ive hit it with a high powered pressure washer numerous times and no leaks, dont think rain is gettin in.

They come with gaskets (high density foam). I didn't want to use silicone rubber sealant because it would make it tough to change bulbs so I used silicone dielectric grease. No leaks so far. I just wired mine into the light switch to the BK/YL wire recommended in the manual. It can be found behind the light switch.

Thanks for all the help. I ordered my lights today and I'll have them in on Friday. This should make a nice little job for me to do on Saturday I went ahead and ordered Mopar lights due to the fact my wife is buying them for my graduation present...She should have to pay top dollar for them because I'm worth it.
