I am old school VW, I will let the guy with the handle @veedubtek handle that wiring issue.
Yeah, I may need to bring @veedubtek over here, wish I thought of it and posted earlier! Not that it is too late or something! But the car is in yet another shop as we speak...

Even if they fix the control module/harness -- I wonder if I will need an LED adapter for the Shorland'r trailer lights anyway.

You'll definitely need to put resistors inline. I still haven't done it to mine. Most lights work without, but it does drive me nuts when I get the indicator on the dash.

We finally got to use both of our tow rigs at the same time last weekend on our camping trip. I towed our 30 ft travel trailer with my White 2500 HD and my Wife towed our Side by Side and old school quad behind her Blue 2500 HD. We absolutely love these trucks, the Duramax Diesels & Allison Transmissions are an awesome combination!!!

@AZDANSX230HO

I'm guessing you don't own a lawn mower!
We just built this house/moved in December 2015. Out here in the Prairie we have 2 acres of weeds, I used to mow the weeds on a riding mower, now I just spray the weeds with weed killer. We are going to start our landscaping in the Spring both the front and back yard, grass, rock, boulders, trees, etc. Then I will be mowing the grass.

Me too, I spread well over 300 tons of Magspec Gravel on the south side of my property, driveway, and my road - I can park probably 20+cars on the gravel area Lol. I used to have a side business for a couple of years doing grading work, did a lot of driveways, rural roads, etc. until I decided to sell my tractor earlier this year.

@su laxplayer21 Its colorful this time of year, although foliage in the mountains is past peak, the lower elevations in valleys are just beautiful. The Champlain valley between upstate NY and VT is peak now.whitefaceview.jpg1017161125a.jpg

Got out yesterday for probably the last 80+ degree weekend weather for the season. Truck will mostly be relegated to daily driver and snow duties until the spring.

We went to the lake Saturday, 90 degrees and sunny, water was 76 degrees, so we decided we are calling it good until next year.

Just bought my first boat last month (2017 AR195). I'm towing with a 07 Sport Trac that I've had for the past 10 years. 4.6L V8 4x4 and new tires, It gets the job done. With 165k on it I'm already looking to upgrade but need to recover from boat purchase!IMG_2523 - Version 2.JPG IMG_2575.JPG

I have driven one and they are a beast when you smash the pedal! I have a 2014 s4 and just really enjoy the linear pull the 3.0 with superchargers have.. There even better with the APR Stage 2 Tune .:) Just saying....Taking off getting up to 75 to 80 yesterday and it did not even feel like the boat was behind me on the interstate.. Was a little concerned not having a truck frame. But after the drive I knew I made a good choice. Gotta love the Audi!! I know you have to be enjoying that AR 24 footer..
