    No Headlights/High Beams 97 D1

    Still can't get the lights to work. I've have since replaced the relay and headlight switch that I got from Will Tillery and all possible fuses. I just can't get them to light up. Any ideas? Thanks B

    No Headlights/High Beams 97 D1

    The headlights and high beams on my 97 D1 are no longer working. Everything else works, tail lights, blinkers, brake lights and dash lights. I did a search and found out the headlight switch, stalk on the steering colum, goes bad and should be replaced. Before I shell out 150.00 for a new one...

    Reverse lights stopped working simultaneously - ideas?

    When the reverse lights went out on my '97 it was the reverse light switch. The little switch/button was dirty so I cleaned it. Put it back and hasn't caused any troubles since. Maybe yours is the same or just needs to be replaced? Sent you an e-mail. Cheers, Brian

    what do Verizon users do in Europe?

    If you buy a tri band GSM phone here it has to be unlocked before it can be used in Europe with a European carrier. The phone won't work by just replacing SIM card.

    No reverse lights

    Thanks...found the switch. The connections are tight. Did it just go bad over time? I'm now trying to remove it to get a better look. Should I just replace it once it's out? Also, should I follow the re-setting proceedure when it's replaced? Thanks again.

    When to replace M/T tires

    Found and purchased online the Starfire Durango M/T for 99.00 each. These are made by Cooper which would also be the exact copy of the Futura Enforcer M/T.

    When to replace M/T tires

    Tread depth is down to 8mm where new it's 15mm. I think the Enforcers did good. I did see the Firestone Destinations on a Tacoma yesterday and was impressed. If the price difference is minimial between the Coopers and the Destinations I'll give the Firestones a shot. Trying to save some money.

    When to replace M/T tires

    With MAR upcoming I'm looking at my Enforcer M/T's which are down to 1/2 tread with 30,000 miles. I was going to replace them, but to my dismay the Enforcer have long since been discontinued. Is 1/2 tread still enough if things get slick or is it time for replacements? Thanks.

    Cool picture inflight

    Yes, Finnair. I'm not a tech rep though. I'm on the flight operations side, load control/weight and balance, all that good stuff. If I'm not on the ramp then I'm on the passenger service side. Never a boring day. Cheers Brian
