So I finally got around to ripping out my Aux powered hook up and making the harness for the Battery powered - manual switched OR Cargo light switched hook up.
I have not drilled a single hole in my truck yet, but I may have to get the Crago light trigger wire out of the cab. Tapping in at the...
I did mine in stages
Stage 1 - too cheap bought some Rough Country N3s and they made a BIG difference
Stage 2 - Got some rear Bilstein 5100s, to be honest a slight improvement only over the RCs. But definitely stiffer as you get a work out installing these!
Stage 3 - Added the Fronts set at...
Here is Plug 1 (front) and evidence of water and light corrosion, both rust and Al. Oxide.
I wonder if this picture will get me new plugs?
And did anyone else have the stud come out rather than just the nut? Could also be the result of moisture.
As someone else pointed out there is NO...
Nice Work Jeff! Duplicates what @NotBudule found and confirms the root cause without a doubt. But I am sure some will still doubt! ?
Also thanks for the spark plug pics. That also confirms @Walter Alvarez 's picture from the dealer. It does look like a drain!
But now youve pulled me away...
I started with RC N3s - BIG improvement over Fx4
Changed to Bilstien 5100, better - yes. but the RCs where fine.
Main reason I upgrade was I want to get the 5100s in front as well.
Again an improvement but the rears are like 80% of the issue on Fx4s. BUT the Bilstien fronts are height...
And for the FINAL time I have swapped out my letters. The black ones where the raised molded plastic letters held on with VHB tape. Over time they didn't look good and one was pulling up. The black with red outline are vinyl and look MUCH better. Lets hope they last.
I also discovered my...
I still use one! Keep my house keys on it and don't need them always as I have a keypad deadbolt.
LOL I need a key for my truck (only one of 3 that has a key) and I don't need a key for my house!
Thanks for posting that Gooby ( Gooby ? gotta be a story there)
I guess we need to call the "Lariat" Cluster the "Lariat 501a"
Anyway I always have the digital speedo in the center on mine - exactly 9 miles over in NC and you are "safe"
IMHO the analog gauges always look better, even if they...
I spent $400 adding Lariat LED headlights, but they each had a broken tab. BUT that was 2 yrs ago, so maybe used prices have come down.
and yes the LED headlights are awesome
A new version is coming.
Sorry just pissed me off when I mentioned previously and someone said it was probably a troll post.
Ahh its Friday off to the the drinking thread!
I have an XLT 302a bought the demo so Lariat wasn't really an option for me. But glad I got the XLT still. Even though I have added a LOT of Lariat option, see my signature.
I do prefer the XLT instrument cluster, but I am sure I would have gotten used to the Lariat version.
The $1500 delta...
