Is there any way to get them to come on automatically without activating them with the parking lights? 


You could try wiring them to the headlights and be our test pilot! Haha

Do you usually run around with the parking lights (orange lights, just to be sure) on and not want the fogs on?

Just realized I forgot to get bed pocket covers before installing my retrax one Mx... ?

No I never run with the parking lights on. Sorry if this sounds dumb but I thought the parking lights were jus the DRLs + taillights. I would only run parking lights if I’m sitting somewhere parked in the low light conditions. I would rarely use just parking lights but would prefer to not have them on with fogs for when I do use them.

Yeah no problem, that’s why I put that. For your situation you could wire up a switch in-line with the device I linked. This way you could basically “turn off” the mod when you don’t want the fogs on while your parking like are one. All it would take is some wire and a switch.

They specifically state to not use the headlight wire for this mod though I don’t know why.


I never checked the low beams but the high beams are negatively switched, meaning 0v=on and 12v=off. I’d bet the low beams are the same which would be a good reason not to connect the fog light relay wire to the headlamp relay.

I see. Maybe with a relay and connecting the headlight wire to the ground pin would work.

Washed it in the rain that would let up and start let up and start. Pulled in the dry off

Swapped out the black side mirror caps for paint matched ones. Easy 5 minute install with a trim tool. No broken tabs.

Any tips?  And where did you get them?

Got them from a local dealership. First, make sure to use painters tape to mask off the areas under the cap. This will avoid any scratches to the mirror. Next, I found that there was more space closest to the window to get the pry tool under the cap. From there, it was a simple pop, then work the cap off from the window side and out towards the street. Once you create enough space, you can get your fingers under and pull back (towards the hood). 

 

Its scary at fist because it sounds like you broke every tab off when it pops off, but for some reason, its just really loud! Much easier than disassembling the whole unit as I've seen on some YouTube videos...I literally had half a granola bar hanging out of my mouth when I did this ?

Finally got my S&B in from backorder.  Install was painless. Very good product. The 6.2 really sounds like a big V8.  It paired nicely with the series 10 flow master.  That’s about it for performance mods until we get some kind of chip for the damn thing.

Wasn’t feeling the brown faux wood grain in my RST, so picked up some vinyl, like the way it came out.

That looks great! Huge improvement.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
