    @SUMOTNK lives in the south bay area already so figured that was going to be the case. Plus I think half of us are in the bay area too.

    @SUMOTNK what is the deal with these solenoids? Are you going to get a predetermined number shipped out to you? The list is currently at 44 members on the list (actually 43) if you are buying 45 total then that only leaves two available slots open to the initial group. I just want to be sure that I'm not just blindly adding members at this point.

    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    Did you happen to change out the solenoid filters when you made the swap? Passenger side is exposed, driver side looks like some major disassembly is required. Wondering what else I should do while in there. Alternator has 200K mi on it, I have a bunch of pulley bearing replacements on shelf...

    I'll add you in as tentative until I get a response from @SUMOTNK

    I did not touch them actually, It was not needed. Eventually I may plan on deleting them entirely, but that's only when and if they ever give me issues.

    Another question, how many miles do the avg oem solenoids last? Are there certain years that are more prone to wear?

    I'm seeing slightly elevated MPG but nothing like it was at first despite doing mostly highway driving.
