I have the pro's and they are great compared to stock. I put morimoto HID's for the headlights (5500K) and ran gtr ultra 2 led for the high beam.
I've adjusted them and the light output is pretty good and doesn't blind oncoming traffic.
I've had the older model of ice guard for 6 ish years. I live in Saskatchewan and they have served me well. Our winters range from -40c to +5. We get snow dumps to freezing rain.
The tires performed best in 4WD and I felt they did well in slushy and snowy conditions. They were decent on ice...
@Burla I found the post. Link below. I know its not scientific testing but I feel manufacturers are doing anything they can to appear more eco friendly even if it's truly not more eco friendly.

@Burla Didn't someone post on here connecting their truck to fuel management software? All mds did was turn off half the cylinders but run double the amount of fuel (same amount of fuel if it was 8 cylinders). I haven't noticed any noticeable fuel mileage improvements on the highway with it.
Hello,
I have a 2013 quad cab SLT and want to know how to remove the 12V plug by the drivers footwell?
It's loose so I think it needs to be fixed or reattached.
Thanks in advance!
Cold is fine as its all located in the pan. Modern oils aren't thick like they were in the past. You will get more out when its sitting in the pan then circulating it in throughout the engine.
I feel like the warm it up is one of those out dated practices like the tune up.
Older cars needed...
I did mine at 80k, I did both sets.
I would say its worth it. The one set are rated for 160,000km.
However, the gap on them was over double of what was allowed.
I found the truck idled smoother. You are just going to restore smoothness that you lost over time.
I would put the best NGK option...
I vote for bilstein 5100.
Improved the ride quality without sacrificing performance.
My friend had fox for his f150 and great for niche offroad or a weekend warrior.
His had the exterior reservoir and it started leaking. He had to ship the shock to California and wait for warranty. In the...
If you don't have warranty on the engine do an oil analysis after one year. I don't believe moisture will be a problem for you as your run time is longer burning off the moisture.
I do short drives, 8km on average and change my oil once a year. I use a quality filter and synthetic oil. Analysis...
Do you have a link or pic of the spray pump you recommend?
I was going to use an enema bottle to drop the fluid into the district tube.
Won't be fast but will be clean.
You can put fluid film in doors. Our trucks are actually really easy to spray in every nook and cranny.
Here is a link reviewing several rusting products including fluid film and krown.
Great way to test! Just thought I would mention.
Do you have a magnetic drain plug? That might catch some the metals
I would average out the metals over a couple of analysis' to rule out any error in testing.
However, given the noises you hear and issues (assuming it's not a manifold bolt) it...
You should get code P0750 which is shift solenoid.
I have the same code and my tyranny is stuck in 4th.
I ordered new filters, 9.5 quarts of synthetic ATF, and the tranny solenoid.
If you get a chance, order the molidon (spelling??) Drain plug with magnet and get a matching nut. Get a welder...
How did you take the sample? If you take a sample when the vehicle has been sitting the counts will be inflated. You need to warm up the engine then take a sample.
Go to Crutchfield and order a deck you like that has Bluetooth.
Installation is easy if you can Sauder or use those quick connections.
Mount the microphone above steering wheel (easiest) or mount up towards a pillar for better sound.
I bought the factory ones but not sure how much they can hold.
You can find them online used for cheaper.
I cut out the plastic with a brand new utility knife and bought a really good one to make it easy to cut. You can also heat up the plastic to make it easier with a heat gun or hair dryer...
Go to the hardware store and get a 3inch 90 degree elbow and a pvc pipe same diameter and a pass through coupler as shown in the pictures. I drilled a small hole for the IAT sensor and painted the pvc pipe black to hide the scratches.
I have a high flow filter in the air box.
The truck...
I don't know the answer, if you found a wrecker or a cheap one you could always give it a try and post your results.
I found this but doesn't mean its correct:

It is so hard to find them reasonably priced here. I don't know what it is with people in Saskatchewan that sell things like bald tires for $50.
I can find tuners for $350 is but they can't tell me if they unmarried the unit.
I'm mainly doing it to free up the space in the engine bay and to free up parasitic loss of the clutch fan.
I'd also like to install a switch for the fan in the truck so I can override it if I want.
The only thing you may want to consider is if you live in a place that gets winter. I've heard of guys doing this up north and their trucks don't blow enough hot air to keep them warm as the engine doesn't heat up to 190
