To be clear, with regard to this product I'm not as concerned with objects hitting the occupants, I'm thinking about occupants hitting hard objects. I'm reminded of a police officer that got into what would have been a pretty minor wreck in a...

Great point, thanks

Looks great.. might want to verify your lugs fit into their spots on these before you get excited to go install. I've found that PC is thick enough to cause issues with tight clearances like that if it isn't masked. I had some wheels for a...

Even when things are bolted down, if they are too close to the occupants they can cause significant bodily injury. Most people have no idea how much thought goes into the majority of things and surfaces within reach of the occupants in a modern...

There isn’t a published interval.. it all comes down to exposure to the stuff that can clog them like pollen, leaves, dirt, and the water needed to pull that stuff through the sunroof gasket which isn’t totally water tight. You’re probably...

Treating injuries at and occasionally cutting the passengers out of car wrecks is a major part of my day job. I won't get into the details of what I've personally seen, but there is absolutely no way I'd put that big chunk of metal so close to my...

You might consider posting in the 100-series section.. most of us are in the US where we got the 5.7L 3UR engine, but the 100-series group mostly got your 4.7 and your odds of getting constructive feedback on this issue are much greater.

There is also a purpose built brush for cleaning sunroof drains on Amazon for pretty cheap.. which reminds me I need to clean mine.

Chassis ears are amazing for tracking down failed wheel bearings. I had a rear axle bearing going bad and the top of one of the stationary races was the problem area.. which meant with the vehicle on stands and the wheels “hanging” there was no...

There would have been blanking plugs in there from the factory.. maybe someone that had to install the pigtail when they got their rig has them lying around. If not you can get creative with some electrical tape. I’ve done that in the past on...

If you have corrosion it's worth checking the refrigerant lines where they go through the floor of the vehicle into the rear HVAC box. Common place for leaks on rust belt vehicles, and usually it can be identified without special tools.. the...

As far as I can tell that's the correct number for your rear end.

With the caveat that when it's really confusing or will be an expensive mistake, you should probably just work with a parts counter.. then it's on them if the part is incorrect.. 1. Front lower left & right seat cushion Front upper left &...

I think it was @kcjaz that had his own pretty disappointing story with regard to BP51 rebuilds.

These do not fail catastrophically.

I understand this post is more about performance characteristics than other aspects of ownership, but given the cost of these systems IMO it should be considered. Kings can be rebuilt at home relatively easily with a few special tools that...

If it’s a brush issue it may not make noise before it goes out. Should be really easy to verify you’re getting power to the motor itself with a voltmeter. Just remove the passenger footwell vanity panel and find the connector for the fan, check...

This is really strange to me. Either even more air needs to be worked out or fresh air is getting into the system. I don’t see how, with a gravity-fed reservoir.. possibly a clogged port from it to the MC, or maybe one of the bushings/gaskets...

Maybe try removing the springs from the wind deflector and checking whether it moves evenly?

Does it seem to move at a reasonable speed until it stops? Have you tried unhooking the battery to reset the force detection intended to avoid crushing things?

I would say they are the manbun of off-roading but there are so many other options for that title..

For the record the whole steering wheel will not heat up, only the leather parts. Just to make sure you're checking the minority of the thing that does any good.

My OME UCAs specifically didn't need grease, and were silent the whole time I had them on the truck. Not sure if the newer ones require it due to some change though. Edit: I was thinking of the bushings. Been long enough I forgot the joints...

One of the best ways to early detect and avoid damage from this leak if it occurs is all-weather floor mats. Generally the leak will end up on the passenger floor mat making it obvious something needs to be done. The parts diagrams suggest the...
