90 www.turbodieselregister.com TDR 90 I've spent this last quarter mostly planning future upgrades for my '98.5 2500 Quad Cab, "Red Ryder." Although not a big fan of suspension lifts, I am a fan of enhancing the Second Generation's ride and handling characteristics. Last issue I stepped up to a larger tire size (35") and I mentioned the new size rubs slightly on the control arms. I hope to have remedied the situation and improved the ride and handling by next issue. I have held off upgrading Red Ryder's brakes with EGR's carbon Kevlar pads as well as the slotted rotors, thinking I am going to do everything at the same time. I have resigned myself to pull the dash and replace the heater core with a new unit and, as long as I am behind the dash, I may as well replace the air conditioning evaporator as well. I picked up both parts from Geno's Garage. So besides enjoying the ride, what have I been doing, you ask? Spending time with my new best friend Tucker. Tucker has been busy showing me the things that are really important in life like chasing birds or taking a swim in the lake or afternoon naps. He has his priorities straight. New best friend, Tucker. Kawell Flood Light I installed the Kawell flood lights in my Fusion rear bumper and could not be happier with the purchase. Originally when I had the bumper built, I had Fusion provide cutouts and mounting plates for Rigid flood lights. Since that time I found Kawell LED lights available on Amazon for a fraction of the price. The dimensions are the same, so fitting the Kawell lights proved no problem. Kawell model K3-3016 is a two-pack of 16W flood lights rated at 1,000 lumens. The price for both lights is $34.99 and shipping was free. I love free shipping. For an additional $12.99 you can purchase the wiring harness. I opted out of the harness, preferring to make my own. Specifications The Kawell floods specification are as follows: • LED Power: 16W • Operating Voltage: 10–30V DC • Waterproof Rate: IP 67 • 4pcs *4w High Intensity Cree LEDs • Color Temperature: 6000K • Beam: Flood • Material: Diecast Aluminum Housing • Lens Material: PMMA • Mounting Bracket: Stainless Steel • Lumens: 1,000 Truck Accessorizing with Scott Dalgleish.
