I have heard that you could bech test and remove one wire at a time and try it on each circuit to find which wire gives you the result, than install the AUX jack circuit there. |

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Is it just me....or is it that its always more interesting and fun as to what you can do and create with less money....than more.
 Great post by the way and I'm going back through my mental archives to think of my best $50 (or less) endeavor on my truck....hmmm. Keep 'em coming! Coley

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
More of a repair than a mod, but here it goes...
The shifter was loose in my truck. I pulled off the linkage where it connects to the column and noticed there was a bit of a gap. The bushing on the bolt was 1/2" and the hole the bushing was in was 5/8". I found a 1/2"x5/8" plastic bushing at home depot for $0.50!

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Don't know if this is what some would call a mod or not. I install DOT tape inside my tail lights and dash bezels to help make it brighter. I will take a pic with in all installed. You can get it all over the place well under 50 bucks. Stuff sticks to about anything and will hold up fine in the heat.

Re: Post your best budget mods! ($50 or less)
Just spent $50 on a 3/4 ton sway bar. all the mounts and bushings were in great shape. Best money I have spent to make my 69 to stop wallowing in the curves! Night and day for 30 minutes of work to install. Best mod ever!
