    it will depend on a lot of things but mostly its up to you if your comfortable to do it and true if you ever plan on doing it your self you have to get all of the tools, parts, and your fully equipped with knowledge to do it so its a smooth process than not being ready, i wish i can help but i have no knowledge on a lot of electrical stuff.

    Oh, you mean the truck?

    Fog lights and cruise control are the last two things on my list; Maybe a remote starter.

    I’ve heard cruise control is as easy as intermittent wipers.

    My neighbor is doing that, but it’ll have to wait because his daughter’s birthday is this weekend.

    I bought full synthetic high mileage; Should I bring it back to BJ’s and exchange it?

    @Taco critter

    Should I use the “fuel economy” oil or the “high mileage” oil? I’m 99% sure I’ve run both, but seems like “high mileage” could cause problems down the road.

    And apparently I’ve been running the high mileage stuff because that’s what I topped with when I found out I was a quart low.

    Should I replace the carpet in my truck? I wish I’d bought WeatherTechs when the truck was new!

    I’ve already got the WeatherTechs; There’s actually hole worn in my carpet on the driver’s side!

    How much you think that would set me back? Definitely not pulling out of that wreck from the salvage yard in Bethlehem! Getting moss off of a door panel is one thing, but the carpet in that truck is a health hazard...

    I’ll just use the toolbox that’s not currently installed in the truck!

    And then once my refinished wheel skins arrive, my truck will be complete aesthetically!
