Yea didn't you have the engine replaced in that on recently AK? It makes even more sense then. The spring gets wasted when disconnecting the rail. They become frail with age. I bet it just let go. It's why I replace those if they require disconnect, the take a hobby brush and coat the spring w/3M dielectric.

Not sure if joking or my post is misleading lol. It's inside the cab just between the wall and the seat
Well the amp works when I punch it and then the sub fires so I'm leaning towards the amp lol. Percussive maintenance was working but the up time of the amp has dwindled significantly almost down to zero now.

I decided to go with an infinity basslink sm to fit behind my back seat. 125 watt rms should be just enough bump to fill out my missing lows.

The PN1.650D with 400W at 4 Ohms would be my choice for a good, economical, compact amp in your application unless you want to take advantage of the situation and amp all the speakers (if not already done).

So my amp is still dead in the water. I've not been able to find anything wrong with it..... soooo I hate to just throw money at a problem but ivy exhausted all other options. Anyone have any recommendations for an amp? Needs to be fairly small as it fits in the center dimple of the rear wall behind the ext cab seat. I suppose I could move it but I'd prefer not to. Powering 1 pioneer sub (linked https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K9852GA..._LvkNIVHNfVBeY)
Rated at 500W, it kicks the **** out of my 1000W Pioneer.

We drove it this afternoon and now it is great on the off road side. He takes off well in 2wd on the ice, but with the front engaged, he is right off the line. I'm liking him more and more as I drive him. There isn't much I have displeasure with right now so now its tme to put in my interior crap in and finish that up. I have a newer dash top (mine has 2 small deep scratches that don't look right). At the same time I'm going to throw in the new RGB T10 bulbs in my dash and see how that works out. They finally arrived yesterday. Then the shell goes on, and the pillar handle and visors, and he's done. At least until something new peaks my interest.. LOL
White, I am addicted to his videos. The man knows exactly what he is talking about. That reminds me l, he did a mini walmart amp a while back that really surprised him. I think it was a dual.
Ak, I have to honestly say that my reg cab with the 5.4 was the most capable truck I have ever owned. I'm loving Reds progression so far.
