    Mine works through my oem keyless entry remote. It actually works very well. I've tested it a few times from far away and was surprised to come out to my running truck.

    Plus there is a monthly fee for that. I really don't have a need to start my truck unless I'm within remote range of it. Maybe some people have a use for it? :confused:

    It warms engine coolant and circulate it constantly, so no fast temperature change. Never heard of block crackings due heating, here is also sometimes below -40° in northern parts.

    Carpart suppliers sell Webasto here, I bought mine directly from Germany.

    Here it is along with CNG reducer and compressor:

    No on the exhaust and intake, not worth it. Retrofitting your headlights makes a HUGE difference. I honestly wouldn't bother much with the suspension if towing is important to you other than adding the leaf spring to the back.

    Don't let these guys steer you away from performance mods. With all the N/A bolt ons, and a good tune on the MAF CALIBRATOR or UCON will really wake up that truck. I know it did on my XRunner.

    All the intake and exhaust are going to do is make noise. These engines are already running pretty dang efficient .. you re not going to see any real bump in performance. I took the secondary filter off my 4 liter and I use a k and n reusable filter but honestly I don't even notice a difference in power.. with the exhaust as long as the cats are on you re not going to see a difference with any cat back exhaust.. just more noise.. and please don't take your cats off! The engine is so reliable just as it sits don't go hacking it up too bad lol!

    Also if you want a long term good quality suspension check icon as I mentioned. You can rebuild the shocks, the fitment is superb, the ride quality is loose over bumps and tight in the corners. Don't forget about has too. The extra caster helps on the highway.

    U didnt see a difference because Gadget dynoed with the stock intake and ran it with the silly charcoal deal removed, and then also with ZERO air filter.

    No gains.

    Well after looking at the dyne sheets, some of these mods do seem to offer small bumps in hp. Which is why shopping around for the best ones and cheapest prices are what I'm here for!
