Boy, if that doesn't sound like a loose ground near the brake release, I
don't know what does.

Subject: DML: Strange electrical problems

2 things

I have *strange* problems with the electrical in my '99 sport. I've never
taken it in to the dealer, becuase A) I doubt they'd find anything, because
B) it's very spuratic.

Heres the thing. I have a sony radio in it, and once in a while, the sound
will go out. Radio is still on, but sound goes out. If I pull the parking
brake release, the sound will come back on. The same thing happened in the
orginal radio (matter of fact, that's the first reason we had a new radio,
thought it was the radio) Now, it's just started with the bed light.
Sometimes, it comes on (usually after hitting a bump) and pulling the
release kills it. Today, it was off if I had the truck door open, but if I
close the door, the light came on. Hit the brake, it stayed out.

Any ideas???

Secondly.

Got my new truck last nite. Will get pics up sometime this weekend
hopefully. She's so pretty. Red Sport CC 4x4 5-Spd 4.7. Now, the tweaking
begins. Intake first, any preferrence between QuickD and Intense? Why?
