  1. So all you did was flip the plug and play connection and put it in backwards so you say?
  2. I removed the battery to reset my truck while the new one was on and it worked until I shut the cargo lights off but what's funny is the OEM works fine. This is the second one I've been through. Either my truck is stubborn or it's the Third brake light.
  3. I decided to go with Leds for my third brake light but am having problem with the installation kinda. It is plug and play piece of cake. I take off the old oem light and plug in the new one. I tested my brake lights, bright, and for my cargo lights...I got nothing so I play with the wires a bit and still nothing. I plug in my old light again and i got cargo lights so I am like WTF? I take the old one off again and put on the new one and walaa bright cargo lights. I turn them off and try again and now there's nothing. Anyone have this problem? How do you trick the truck so to say?
  4. I am just glad He has insurance LOL and you can have my wife! Marriage is like going to a casino, you go in happy, excited and have pocketloads of money and you go out sad, miserable and broke!
  5. I know accidents suck at first but there is always a happy ending. Yesterday I went to a ford dealership for my damage inspection by progressive and they gave me their estimate of $1900 of damage but they wanted me to get it fixed at the dealership. I ended up getting a estimate from my auto body guy for $3200 and I ended up throwing the estimate to him telling him I want it done at the shop of my choice and he barely said anything. He cut me a check for the $3200 and its only costing me $1300 to fix. It was a good day yesterday and on the plus side with gas prices at almost $4 a gallon, I got a little 4 cyclinder to put put around in. As far as the storage unit auctions, I have made a ton of money doing it and found alot of cool things from a very old triumph motorcycle buried to a schwinn bike also buried. Those are my two big money makers from it. Ive also found a nolan ryan signed jersey and a whole bin full of signed memorbilia from alot of top athletes. Ive also found bins full of old comic book sets and old train sets. You wouldn't believe the crap I've found. I'v been doing it for a year now and I love it and the money I've made is unreal...thank god for craigslist!
  6. gotta find a good body shop...accidents suck!

  7. So I was waiting at a stop sign to get on a highway after filling up the SS and the snow was comming down pretty hard. I was on my way to a storage unit that I purchased at a auction the day before and was going to pick up a second load to bring home to sort out and sell. While I was waiting, I saw a old beat up rusty pathfinder comming down the highway with his blinker on getting ready to turn. I looked to my right and it was clear and just as I was about to go, I look to my left and this guy who was turning ended up hitting my truck right behind the rear tire smashing my tail- light into pieces, putting a huge dent on the side of my bed and messing up my bumper. He was going way to fast and over-estimated his speed into the slush/snow covered road slamming into me . I had a ton of emotions within me and wanted to kill this guy but kept my cool and stayed relaxed. My wife in the passenger seat though was the opposite and was hysterical and pissed. I calmed her down and told her to stay in the truck. I get out, my wife calls the cops and I wait for the cops to come. The cops come and the funny part of this story was, The cop says to me "What's wrong with you?" I said "What do you mean" The cop replied "This is a shame! This is too nice of a truck to be out in this weather" I laughed and said "I know but its my daily driver" The cop replied with " Go get a damn junker and keep that in a heated garage" I just laughed and walked away.While I was walking away, I noticed in my truck, my wife was crying. I get in the truck and ask her whats wrong? She said" This is your baby and I didn't want her to be hurt like this, she don't belong in a body shop" I calm her down and said " It's ok, shit happens but all I know is progressive( other drivers insurance) is going to pay big time for the shitty drivers they insure!" I kept thinking that I just thought it was cool that a truck that is 8 years old gets that many compliments to this day...I just thought I would share my story and if anyone is interested I can post pictures too..
  8. Im just trying my best to keep up with the other SS's on here...guess having 2 kids and being married puts a damper on what I can spend on my SS....Thanks for the input guys...I will tell you...it does look good on my red SS but everyone has their own taste...
  9. I ended up tinting the tail lights and selling the mega light...Its all good...
  10. always looking for something different. I am starting to get overwhelmed with modding my SS. I need to go to a meeting.
  11. I got these and this weird ipcw third mega brake light for $150...check it out lol
  12. Im big into chrome...I put chrome stockers on my 03 and i think it looks good...but everyones different
  13. I got a good deal on these tail lights and was wondering what everyone thinks...I got a 03 victory red SS check them out, tell me what you think
  14. I purchased the Ram Air scoop with mine. Pain in the ass to install but I got a great price on both CAI and scoop. I would think it helps considering it is more forced but I dont know if i'd pay a buck and a quarter for one. Make your own its cheaper.
