They don't blind the backup camera?

my latest free upgrade was to delete the rear view mirror, its nice to see more out the window, my second best blind spot upgrade was removing passenger and rear seat head rests. try it, you'll like it!

They wash it out a little, but the brightness alone on the screen, kills more than the brightness of the lights.

roughly $55-60 total improved reliability, i'll post pix if anyones interested

 

...quick update i have to install a bypass valve inline with the trans line, going full flow thru filter causes the trans to warm up much like when it had the thermostat installed. i'll do the bypass tomorrow see if it operates at a normal 145 temp

Did you do a write up on this? I have been interested in doing this to mine for a long time. I just never have done it. I am currently at 113k miles. I plan on having the truck for a few more years. It can't hurt anything but give me peace of mind knowing I am doing something preventative.

i noticed after cutting open the filter after 300 miles it was clean, but i did see some steel filing and some gritty sand like material.  I'm currently doing a 5000 mile filter test , will post up what  i find.

 

I purchased the "bypass valve" from Frantz filters

Picked up a 10 pack of heavy duty, metal body LED's for $8. Tapped the dome light for interior. And for just under $50 I picked up the wiring harness for the bed lights and tapped it with some 8" COB LED's for the bed.  

Can you explain how you tapped into the dome light? This is a nice idea I've seen it done before but nobody ever really explains how they bring in the lines and hook it up. Thanks in advance
