taillight problems...

the first thing I'd be checking is the bulb socket. mother nature is not always nice to them. make sure the ground is good. more than one issue can happen when grounds start to go. define funny turn signals?

looks like somebody beat me to it.):h
 
Drivers side frame rail, about a foot forward from the bumper. There is a connector that t's out to your lights. Have a gander at the ground coming from off there. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
There are two bulbs in front....if one of those is burned out I believe it causes the blinker to blink double time........or you could just find a different brand of blinker fluid. :)
 
I think there are two fuses associated with the tail lights/turn signals. I blew one of 'em when my ground failed on my trailer while towing.
 
might be an idea to check the wired end of the 7 pin if you have one. if it get's wet or loose in there, you can get intermittent shorting and it will do things like loss of brake lights, tail lights, and fast signals
 
well i fixed the turn signals it was the turn signal switch and the ground on the frame but the brake lights still arn't working need some more ideas idk where to start looking first...

Test light. Start at the light and work forward. Too bad you replaced the T/S switch already. If your truck doesn't have cruise control that would be a good time to add it.
 
LOL... its not fast just yet but when i upgade my turbo and put my propane kit on it ought to work pretty good considering the turbo came off a motor pushing 45 psi stock...

Make sure you do your homework about pushing these engines so you get to make it down the strip more than once:D
 
its a borg warner turbo but its much larger it came off a ship...
the oil input line looks the same as it does on my truck so does the output line...
it should be relativly easy to install all i should have to do is make me a header, so that i can make a flange so i can bolt it up, then make an intake pipe, and also make some kind of air filter pipe as well...
then rig up some kind of boost controler so i can mantain the turbo at high rpms...
cuz the motor that i got it off from made 45 psi at 1500 rpms and for that motor that was WOT, so 5000 rpms might be more idk yet
