    Already using one. I noticed after it's split 2 ways they are finicky.

    I've had this experience as well. Confirmed cable was good but the split signal just caused issues with devices.

    This has been my experience as well. If anyone has one that works please share where you found it because I'm 0 for 3 with one that works correctly with my headunit and the ultragauge. Best I've found is one that I have to unplug because whatever is plugged into the 2nd port on it will not power off with the truck.

    Everything has shown up besides the blower belt.. that should be here tomorrow at Napa.

    I'm working on modifying the Steeda tensioner to clear the Tacoma bracket now.. I cut the spring down, but the cast body is slightly different. @zscott I'm wondering what your solution was for that small portion? Looking back through this thread I see he is running the Steeda.. but little info on what the solution was. I will most likely grind down the cast on the tensioner just enough to clear the Tacoma bracket. I'll get more pics and update..

    Clears the Tacoma bracket

    This is the next interference

    This nub in the cast makes the Steeda not sit flat/flush into the Tacoma bracket. Grinding it down to the spring should allow it to clear.

    I don't know. That's my next move. I want to see if I need to shave the stop some. Need to bolt it up or hold it somehow to see.
