    Only the very back clip wasn't broken on my old one and it was almost cracked in half.

    I expect it to last at least 5+ years if the other one lasted 12 haha

    It's the first time it has ever happened on this truck, I will probably order an LCE valve cover and gasket this summer along with some other stuff.

    Because at the time I didn't think I'd be able to slip the heat shrink over the connections. But now looking at it I probably can haha doing wiring at 5:00 in the morning, great idea.... :rolleyes:

    It did expire, but they are still the cheapest dealership to order parts from. Even with shipping they beat almost any other dealership in the country. Please they are awesome people to work with.
