- sirdrakejrExplorerThat should save you a few bucks on buying new ones since the old ones must still be new! :B

CRUZ - M_GO_BLUE1ExplorerHey there everyone...

My question is - how have you installed the digital converter box in your Designer?
For example, did you wire it between the wall and the Home Theatre/ DVD player so that it feeds into the home theatre? Or did you put a splitter at the wall outlet so the digital converter goes direct to the TV?
Thanks for your help! - CHV_FRKExplorerI can try to get a pic... It's under the corner trim where the wall meets the aluminum underskin in the pin area. The pass side flexes about 1/2" down where the drivers side barely moves.
- TravlingmanExplorer IIReplaced mixing valve on mine 3 months ago, I was not getting hot water though. Have not noticed flexing, will be hooking up Sunday to change parks, will look then. What butyl tape are you talking about? would you happen to have pics?
- CHV_FRKExplorerI'm getting hot water in the toilet again when we flush. Also turn on the cold only and it becomes hot....then warm. I believe our mixing valve it the culprit. That's just one thing I'm going back to the dealer for.
Issues:
Dealer replaced bearing galled and grooved axle shaft. (insufficent packing I believe)
Hot water issue.
flexing front frame when weight is one truck. Pass side lower trim won't keep sealed and there's water coming from the aluminum skin.
Does anyone elses butal tape pull away when loaded? - M_GO_BLUE1ExplorerTaking the truck into the dealer tonight...looks like the entire factory tow package will have to be rewired...thanks to the former owner of our truck! :(

Eric,
Have you removed the bulb and checked for corrosion?
We actually replaced each bulb in the affected brake light with no change...
Turn signal and parking light work on that side but no brake light...I think we have it narrowed down to the factory tow package wiring and having truck dealer inspect and replace if needed the factory tow package wiring...former owner of truck installed a bed plug and did not wire it correctly to the factory tow package which we think is now causing the problem... - RanduExplorerEric,
