I did the same on mine, I hope yours stays on. Mine started melting and I can smell the tar from the sound deadener. Will go with sound skins next time.

Installed the 2nd battery temporarily along with a 12V switches...

I'll get another rear panel and have it inside of it. Might do 2 6V since the battery are skinnier...

If you do (2) 6V, let us know how that works out on amps. My guess is it will be lower...

Those are breather lines for the front differential and the transfer case. They have nothing to do with any of your fault codes.

Default Door Frame

I am in the process of removing and refinishing the door frames, a few have visible rust and after this one, I think there is probably more rust that is not visible on the others. Sanded, primed, painted. Not too bad really, 20 min to remove/install and however much to dremel, sand, prime, paint. Looks much better and probably prevent future problems. One question, there is a two wire connection attached to the power mirror wires. Does anyone know what it is for? I meant to take a picture but it did not work out.

The unused connector could be for the Asian-market folding mirrors.

Installed the new idler pulley. Torque setting is 37lb-ft. Refreshing to go out to do a job on the truck and actually have it only take 10 minutes. Sounds like this quieted down a whine that I'd been hearing (presumably the old bearing failing).

Default compressor removed Alarm sounding off

2001 D2 originally had coils retrofit by previous owner. I had the vehicle for 4 years now, and was suffering from battery drain. Found out the compressor was still active and hear a 'tick-tick' as if it was trying to turn on. The compressor is gone, relays etc pulled out. SLABS ECU sounds the alarm if I am cornering or going over a bump. Removed various fuses including ABS and still the alarm goes off. All fuses are back in.

Is it just as easy to remove fascia and snip alarm speakers (which may be useful in the future), or remove the specific SLABS relay or snip some pins within the relay? Also, the schematic mentions a "fuse link 9" which is a downstream connection prior to the height sensors, etc.
