    But the buttons on OEM are on the side bro :gossip:

    Look chopper I used to be in your shoes and I too used to argue with the Chinese guy but then I said fuck it one day and traded in my beloved Paula for Stacy which has entune and is a 4x4. I suggest you go that same route or spend out the ass for mods

    Did someone say meet/meat?! :spy:
    So after we adjusted the brakes to allow the drums to fit back on, Chris and I readjusted the brakes again to allow minimal travel when applied.
    So besides the power issue, and lack of additional functions that you would have vs a aftermarket unit. The biggest issue I have with the newer model is the washout it has on the screen from the sun. It is AWFUL! You can not see the screen at all when the sun hits it. :annoyed:

    Try driving a sport with a cracked windshield. If the hood scoop don't get you then the crack will and either way you won't be able to look at the screen lol

    I did not upgrade the head unit as I did not want to flaunt the fact that I have thousands of dollars in aftermarket audio equipment in the truck. Mine all looks stock for that reason. Less people want to break in and steal a factory radio then a high end one, IMO.

    I'm not saying I won't buy anything not oem. I'm saying I like oem
    Yeah I would like to but I'm not going to be in the position to buy a new truck for at least a few years. I'd rather pay for what I want now than have a monthly note on a stock truck! :eek:

    Even if I bought new, I would get a base 4x4 v6 and build it for cheaper... can't escape the mod bug!
    Okay, I get what you're saying. I didn't know that. I think that reinforces the notion to get new drums.
    What do you have
    Tuesday?

    I can do tuesday.

    Nah no need for new drums man, those thing are still young. Most of the time you rear drums never need to be changed. I think there might be some air in the lines up front somehow.

    I have a Pioneer headunit, pretty similar to that one. They're great units and the screen quality is nice.
