Just in time for summer. Took forever but I finally got my heated steering wheel project done. Last parts, and most important, were the terminals for the heating element to the spring clock. Wired up the relay module to the corresponding slots in the side of the spring clock on the column. Installed the 6 way switch in the 12 volt socket. Wrapped the element around the stock wheel and wrapped and stitched the aftermarket leather cover over. Gave me the look steering wheel lock I wanted on top with the perforated leather. The wrap wasn't prefect and wasn't made to stitch the very bottom so I'll wrap it with something I find later. Unfortunately, the wrap was a bit short to wrap the entire thing so I had to compromise between where the wires go and the uncovered area

Zero issues. Used it most of last winter. Maybe check the heating elements?

Yeah, I'm gonna look at all of the wiring I did this weekend. My biggest fear was that I was frying a wire in the clock spring itself, but if yours is working fine that sounds reassuring. Thanks!

Are you satisfied with your PB upgrade? Any issues, tips, concerns ?
They work as intended. They offer many configurations. Zero issues since installation. In fact I'm going to be upgrading my Mustang to one of their kits with 8 piston in the near future.

Did multiple Forscan changes. Dark mode, disabled IPC welcome screen, bambi mode, chimes only from the IPC (no longer from speakers).

Not sure yet
You send in yours to get worked on.
Thanks for the response. Can you attach a link or info regarding where to send to? I will have to keep this in mind when I get my Ranger. Don't want to do too many things to the motor as far as mods, but this seems simple enough and its benefit regarding improved MPG definitely intrigue me :like:

Finally decided to revisit the sway bar disconnects. The first set worked well and quick with no tools but ended up very clanky after the grease pushed out. Found these off the shelf Rough Country ( yeah, yeah, save the anti Rough Country opinions) and they seem to fit nicely. While they are overall shorter that brings the sway bar closer to the stock position for a lifted setup. Doesn't feel as tight as the all steel ones but there's no noise as of driving it around the block. To remove these you may need a prybar and a pair of channel locks to reinstall the pin. I'll take that over the clanking. Disclaimer: try these at your own risk. Part Number 1146. These are for a jeep.
