    Thank for confirming. I’m not driving the truck much these days!

    Hmm I’m not sure what that is. They do have a small metal box inline with the wiring. Kind of a like an HID ballast only smaller.

    Installed the N-Fab steps. For $279 on Amazon it was an easy decision.

    Scored a Softopper on Marketplace after looking for a year. The seller only ran it for a few months and it is pretty much brand new!

    Since I installed my Airaid intake I have noticed a whistle at part throttle that was somewhat annoying. I changed the TB gasket to the 4.7L version to eliminate the screen that was causing the whistle.

    I'm also including a picture of the air flow straightener that helps the MAF get a stable reading on the Airaid intake. I used to work there designing intakes for years, and this was one part I was especially proud of because it ensured good driveability and made real power on the dyno.

    I finally got my 3rd gen bumper installed! For now I just cut the top section of my plastic bumper cover, but will eventually replace it with a new part. I’m also planning to design fabricated, high clearance bumper ends as discussed in another thread. I used 1/2” spacers to move the bumper forward so it fit better. I also installed Baja Designs yellow fogs and a PIAA light bar in the center.
