    2- Adding DRL's.
    3- Adding Auto Dimming rearview mirror.
    4- Adding bass speakers and amps. which location is best.

    Most people mount their amps and subs behind the backseat. We also have a deals section that your should check out. There you can pick up the ScanGauge for your truck. I believe that is the easy way to get an accurate speed reading with different tire sizes. Please someone jump in if I'm incorrect. I'm running a different OBDII tool.

    don't shop through crutchfield, unless your looking to burn money. I'd lean you towards ebay. They're generally pretty cheap over there.
