[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1690289, member: 39284"] [U]RADIO[/U] Got the new HAM radio installed. Haven't taken any pictures. Chose a different location. Instead of putting it in the center console, I put it outside the console at my right knee. Works for me for now. My radio in the other truck is in the same location. [U]BATTERY HOLD DOWN[/U] Replaced my batter hold down. Should have been a 1 minute job, however the bolt was corroded from acid from the old leaky battery, so it was snapped in half: [ATTACH type="full"]324575[/ATTACH] Hence why it needed replacing. So in order to get the rest of it out, I needed to pull the battery tray... Which also happens to be attached to the washer bottle. A fun, tight squeeze to wiggle this joker out: [ATTACH type="full"]324576[/ATTACH] [U]PURGE VALVE[/U] Easy Peasy [ATTACH type="full"]324578[/ATTACH] So, I didn't think I needed this and didn't have high hopes that it would change anything, but I figured for a fairly low cost of the part and low complexity of the install, why not?
