    The shell thing broke, and it looks trashy without it.

    I’m too tired to really try and explain it.

    Headlights on while someone is talking a couple miles away - static

    if I turned them off before they stopped talking it instantly cleared up.


    So I drove around all morning with just my ditch lights (on forest roads)

    I wonder if putting an o-scope on the power wires would pick up the noise you're seeing. Especially if its got an FFT mode.

    There's argument there, some say remove it, but I've always had good results with a wire wheel and or a grinder to wherever the scale had come off or rusted vs removing it completely.

    I thought your ride was trashy already?

    Hmm. There's a couple bits on the underside that are still scaley, I'll leave them that way and see how it goes.

    Lol.

    The way you talk about them sounds like they're both falling apart.

    I have cruise and didn't need to do that. Unless the new extra high lift struts are different somehow, not sure if that's what he got. Mine are their standard ones I got last year

    This little beauty showed up today. I’m thinking I’m going to weld up a mount and add it into the bed of the truck and plumb to the front and rear of the truck. 91D780C7-448F-4219-854F-A51E0CB89643.jpg

    I didn’t have to do any relocation for my redtuning struts. I know the person I got them for has abs and cruise. Wouldn’t want him to have to move stuff around.
