Ridge Runner

I don’t know why, but curious where you are seeing the code. On the dash, or a code reader? Also is it running ok? Thank you

Good luck hunting!

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Pop Bob I ordered so M6x20mm stainless steel pan head screws. Thanks again for your help.

Hindsight is 20/20. I should have taken the remaining screw off, and measured the length. I bought M6x16 mm, too short. Probably 20 mm, is what it needs. thanks again for your help.

Success!(almost). I followed Pop Bobs instruction. Worked great. I struggled trying to clear the side panel around the dump lever handle. The side panel was hung up there, I didn’t want to break anything, so I didn’t struggle too long. I had enough clearance to tighten up the remaining screw and added a replacement. The replacement is a hex head, silver. Sadly I ordered the wrong length screw, it works, but I’ll order a longer one, and take the panel off and change. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks Alien10. I’m going go check mine mine now.

Thanks Pop Bob mine looks a bit different in that the side panel appears to nest underneath the black section of the bed . Where I’m stuck is locating the screw heads where the top of the side panel connects to the bed. I located the screws near the tail light, and on the other end of the bed. Your advice and photos have been helpful. Thanks again

Thanks Pop Bob. That’s what I did, I started with the fender lip. What I don’t recall seeing on my bed is the screws at the top of the side panel. Your photo shows two holes through the black section of the bed, on the outside above side panel. Tomorrow, in full daylight I will take another look at mine. Were there hole plug cover where those two screws are? When you got the side panel removed were you able to get the lip screw secured? thanks again

Thanks Pop Bob. Mine is very similar, your photos are very helpful. When you removed the panel, were the nuts secured to the inside so you didn’t lose them? I’ll have to check mine to see if I can disassemble mine like you did. Thank you very much

Looks great!

Good point! Thanks for the tip,

Thanks for the suggestions and parts diagrams. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I hate those things too. And with winter coming soon, I’d would hate to not have my tailgate working fully, or have it apart, and unable to get it back together. Thanks for your help. I really thought some one one the forum had to repair/replace a tail light assembly and would know the secret of getting it apart and back together

Thank you. I’ve thought about drilling a hole, but the bolt heads line up with the back of the rear light assembly. So I think, with my luck, I’d end up ruining the light too. I ordered some of the 6mm threaded quick nuts that slip over panels. From the diagram you sent, they could be part number 3. It’s really hard to tell. Coleman was not any help, sadly.
