Ya they will be paying more then just replacement
On top of the free detail
They ordered the wrong side first and couldnt return them so gave me both sides

Also there are a few what I would call stop spots where the ceramic is screwed up so they will be repairing that whenever I want to take it there....if it keeps bothering me I'll get it fixed only visible at certain angles up close

What type/brand of light did you get for the back up light? Looks good.

Cheap ebay light used them a few times now and they are as bright as opt7 but a 3rd the cost and last 2 years (died in the winter few times)
They are directional turns so they go from center out best bang for the buck

What’s the purpose of a bed heater? I assume it’s for things you can’t put in the cab that you don’t want freezing?

Fire fighting stuff.... keep it warm or dry it out....also helps melt the snow off the cover so it can operate
In my 1500 I had it set high and cover open to keep coolant temp down while out plowing
Not sure if that will need to do that for this truck

The 2 temp controls work together if ones not on the heater won't run
One kicks on when coolant temp gets to set point
Other kicks off when temp in bed gets to set point
Powered only when ignition on

How is this with the backup camera? Does it interfere or actually look significantly better/less grainy than just the IR

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
