On a side note....They certainly do not give you much slack on the washer hose. Man it was tough getting the passenger side reconnected with such little slack.

Thanks guys. It turns out the arm just got separated. I popped it back on. We'll see how long it goes and see if it happens again then I'll replace it. This happened last week while my Sister in law had the truck and I was in Florida and there was a bad ice storm here in NH. Dollars to...

Hello All, Sorry if this has been asked already. I tried searching to no avail. I have a 2003 Trac..still going strong. Recently the passenger side wiper stopped moving. I can move it free hand but the motor will not power it. Anyone know where to start looking at this and whether or...

Can anyone tell me what is involved in changing the bulbs behind the climate controls? Fan speed as well as climate mode are out. I have searched the forum and I see lots of threads talking about the instrument cluster but haven't found anything on the climate controls. I have an 03 trac...

Does this have a subwoofer connector? Is it still available?

Hello All, I really do appreciate all the opinions and advice and it all paid off. I let the truck sit for the Winter as I pondered what to do. I came so close to calling 1 877 Kars for Kids and then last week my Cousin called set me up with his Mechanic and he took in and broke it down...

Hi All, thank you for you replies. I am going to a private garage with it for a 2nd opinion. According to the paperwork from the dealer the issue is with cylinder 1 and 2.

My 2003 has died. 137K miles on it and I was driving down the highway and all of sudden the thing got very sluggish. I made it to the Dealer and they told me 2 of the cylinders have no compression and the engine is pretty much gone. I am a bit beside myself on this. Truck was in great shape.

well...I guess we can't all be experts can we? I suppose the 'trick' is also a secret since you failed to explain it.

I bought the tool and still ended up taking the bezel off. Radio would not budge using the tool. It felt as though one side was jammed. I would recommend the 7mm socket and remove the bezel. It's so much easier.

Anyone know the part number for 2003 center console door? Mine is cracked and needs replacing. Thanks...Jim

Any idea how to get the radio out? I am using the U hooks I got from crutchfield and it will not budge. Anyone know what size bolts those are to remove the trim around the radio? this is an 03 trac with pioneer 6 disc

Hi Todd, Thanks for the quick response. Yes, it is a full console. I bought the sirius professional install kit SIRPVK1 and I plan to tap off the aux outlet and hide most of the wires under the console. I am thinking of running out to the third brake light with the antenna. I would...

Can someone tell me what is involved in removing the center console? I am planning to install Sirius tomorrow and I am going to hardwire direct to the aux cig outlet. To do so I need to remove the center console. thanks..Jim

Thank you all for the replies. I am going to go ahead and order it and give it a whirl. Jose, Yes i am planning to route the antenna through the 3rd brake light. I know there was a project on this some time ago but it shouldn't be too difficult. thanks
