    I have had the standard on for almost three years now and no issues. I have factory plates on, but would have installed one anyway if I did not. After years of annoying oil changes on my Pontiac GP and my wife's Altima, I had had enough!

    Any stick or rock that would knock off the FV would punch a whole in the pan. The valve is not below the crossmember. I would not have one if I off-roaded the truck.

    ^^THIS^^
    And as far as the slow drain goes, it is not so slow that you regret installing the valve.

    I use this on my dakars also. I put the truck on a lift in our shop which lets the suspension droop and the leafs separate. Blow away any dirt, sand, etc. out of them. Spray lots of white lithium grease in between the leafs. Let the truck down and wipe off the excess. No squeaks for a few months:thumbsup:

    Is there a thread on it? Is it as simple as swapping bits or is there modification work like the Tundra brake swap?

    I got this notice too, but I believe my truck has a whole after market ARB leaf pack. I don’t think I would need to worry about the recall.
