    This.

    I'm pretty sure on 95-00 the covers just pop off. But 01-04 you have to take the panel off.

    Mother of god. That's a huge fridge :eek:

    And can I ask a question? Why do you care about the rear speakers? You're only going to hear one of them (LR).

    It took all of 30 minutes. I've pulled the center console on the dash apart enough it is easy-peasey. The damn bulb cost $5.

    They can also be changed without disassembling the center console. Just pull the three knobs, remove the faceplate, and then there's three screws to take it out.

    Edit: IRRC its the 3mm one

    every truck is different. Just have to flex it while turning. That'll show you if your rubbing. Took me 4 times with OEM fenders. Still rubbed a bit..and now with new fenders ahve cut them 3 times and still rub as well.

    I did:eek:
    But not because I wanted, more like I needed to.

    I had some 255/85/16 ST's but turns out they were blemished and I could never balance them properly and the ride was always bouncy. So my dad let me use his 285/70/15 (31's) and the difference was really noticeable to me. If all goes well I should have some 33/10.50/15 km2's on tomorrow! I'm pumped

    How hot does your engine run? Since getting my Ultra Guage I've tried to pay attention to the digital gauges and normal driving temp is roughly 204 deg. F.
    At idle it's roughly 206-208 deg.F. The highest it's ever been in the 2 weeks I've had the UG is 212 deg.F. And it hit that once. It's been cooler than usual these past couple weeks here in Texas (high in low 80's) so I don't think the weather is a factor. I've read that normal scan guage temp is in the 190's F. But I also read that its normal for our trucks to get up to 220 deg.F and that's considered normal. Not sure if that's true? The temp needle doesn't move at all from eye view.
