I didn't see anything like the plug you're describing. Of course, a lot of things are different than factory back there since the frame was extended for a log body. But there is a splice in the wires near where the frame was extended, and I couldn't get any current for the reverse lights even before that splice. I saw one photo of a VMACIII circuit protection key that shows #42 being "Back-Up Lps." on a 20A fuse. is that a whole separate fuse box from the cab circuit protection? Thanks.

Hi JoJo, Thanks for your response. I did check that four wire harness out. I didn't see anything disconnected. I did back probe all four wires and the reverse lights were the only ones that I was unable to get power out of (even with the key on and transmission in reverse). The truck does not have a back-up alarm. Any idea whether one of the circuit breakers is for the reverse lights? and if so which one it would be? Thanks.

Hello, So I stalled my 99 CL713 in high range reverse the other day. Now I don't have any reverse lights. The light on the dash to indicate that the truck is in reverse is working which would indicate that it is not the sensor on the transmission. Am I correct about this? Does anyone know of some simple things to check before tearing apart the wire loom? Do the reverse lights on a 99 go through a light control module like they do on more modern trucks? Thanks.

Hello folks: I have a 99 CL713 with the E7460. About 6 months ago, we had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets on it. The studs for cylinder #6 did not come out easy. Now, we are starting to notice oil coming out from around that bottom stud that holds the manifold against cylinder #6 and you can smell hot oil when it is running. Is this because we messed things up when removing/replacing that stud? or is it just a coincidence and there is something else going on with the cylinder head/valves? Does anyone know what the best way to approach the repair would be? Is this a common problem? Thanks, -Zach

Hello, I am trying to prepare myself for the process of replacing the stand, shaft, bushings, saddles etc, on a '99 CL with 44k camelback. I was hoping that people could give me some insight into this process. I have seen the trunnion stands from Stengel Brothers that supposedly bolt in from underneath. Has anybody used these? what were your thoughts on it? I have heard you have to drill out the holes in the frame a couple of sizes larger to do it, is this true? How about finding the specs for tightening up the new bushings, washers etc on the new shaft? Is this possible to do if you have some time, and have some experience working on trucks but are not a professional suspension person? Any experiences or insight is appreciated. Thanks.
