Re: Another Government Wagon Auction

Third time's a charm?

This is the third time they've listed this 2017 in Swanton, VT. They're having a hard time reaching their reserve price, hopefully they keep dropping the reserve each time they list it. Maybe someone will get a good deal this time. :patriot:

Re: Trailer T-Harness For Power Options

The only cargo light my truck has is the one on the back of the cab by the 3rd brake light. Since installing my Softopper canvas shell, that light has become useless. So I finally got around to adding my new bed lights and switch and power outlet.

A total of 8 lights, 4 on each side.

Routed the harness through the hole at the top of the rear bed corner post.

Installed the switch and power outlet at the bottom, just inside the tailgate.

Re: Trailer T-Harness For Power Options

If you don't want the hassle of building your own T-harness, you can just buy a gooseneck/5th wheel extension harness and cap off any circuits you don't want to use. They're available on many websites, but the least expensive seem to be on Amazon. Screenshot 2024-09-09 at 11.39.24 PM.png Screenshot ...

Trailer T-Harness For Power Options

I wanted to add a 12V power outlet and lights to the bed of my truck, so rather than running a new dedicated circuit all the way from the battery, I decided to tap into the power that was already available at the trailer plug. You can buy a T-harness online, but it comes with smaller gauge wire and ...

Re: Another Government Wagon Auction

Here's a 2018 in Shoshone, ID. Comes with side steps just waiting to get ripped off on the first obstacle you encounter. :doh: Its also missing some center console pieces due to having law enforcement equipment removed.

So the 2017 in Swanton, VT (one post above) didn't meet the reserve price, so they're listing it again. Here's the new link:

For you guys in the northeast, here's a 2017 in Swanton, VT. It says the winch doesn't work. Not much other information.

Right now our sky is completely filled with smoke from the "Park Fire" 200 miles away from us. We could use a little snow right about now.

Rear Seat Power Outlet

So my truck doesn't have a power outlet in the rear seat area, but I want to be able to carry my portable fridge/freezer back there to keep food and drinks cold on roadtrips. So this is what I came up with for a mounting solution, rather than adding a new bracket or bezel. IMG_4621.JPG IMG_4622.JPG ...

Code P0452 = Evap Pressure Switch Stuck Closed

So my "Check Engine" light came on once again, this time it was for a code #P0452. For those of you that don't know, you can retrieve powertrain (P codes) on your instrument cluster, just cycle your ignition switch 3X ending in the on position and any P codes stored in memory will display on the odo...

Re: Another Government Wagon Auction

Here's a 2016 in Montrose, CO. It looks like the winch is missing, along with the center console. It also says that it needs an engine because of low compression on the #7 cylinder. Lots of problems, so this one might sell pretty cheap.

Re: Hello - 2005 Power Wagon (New Owner)
