    Need advice before I pull this out of fuse box

    I have been having issues with the dash gauges going in and out, I’ve done some research and I think it has to do with this in my IOD fuse slot. Is it safe to pull this and put a 10A fuse in its place? I’m afraid if I pull it, the fuse slot won’t accept the new fuse. I have attached a photo.

    Continued O2 sensor troubles

    A few months ago I started intermittently getting the CEL code p-0133. So I got a replacement sensor from NTK and tried replacing it.

    How to repair a broken air compressor in a Warn PowerPlant

    The Warn PowerPlant is kind of an odd duck. It's a combination winch and air compressor, with the compressor driven by the winch motor. Warn released two models around 2007 (and updated them in 2013), a 9,500 lb. version and a 12,000 lb. version. The two models differ mainly in the planetary...
