    Amazes me how you keep your truck shiny out on snow packed roads and not nary a mud guard/flap on that truck. Just amazing! My black princess sits in the parking lot and she is dusty the next day.

    How difficult was it to remove the original knobs and replace them with these?

    I got the same knobs. You just pull the old ones off and put the new ones on kind of got to make sure it's in the right position when you install the new one if it don't go on right away might have to turn it a little bit and then push. Very easy

    I think you just pull off the the old ones and replace it with these bad boys where you can actually turn the knob with out squeezing hard accidentally pushing the screen. lol man I can't wait till i get home haha

    Trivial enough to turn the light off if it does come on.

    Actually, OLD SCHOOL would be every 3,000 miles. :) You are however correct. Do what makes you feel right when taking care of your own vehicle.
    My Mom has a 2017 Mini Cooper and she only has to change the oil once a year, but she is changing it every 3,000.

    Is it looks related?

    Sorry you have to deal with all over again, but it sure sounds like he didn't set the front diff up right, as he did on the rear. Bummer.

    I think the same thing. He acts like he did everything right and it just don't work for some odd reason like it isn't his issue. I've done nothing to it, he installed the gears I don't know how he can even act like that personally. Very very frustrating.

    I'll Be taking some more pictures later tonight of the beam and my interior lighting later tonight and will make a complete lighting post under the Lighting category.
