Hit my headlamps with the cerekote resto kit, and, i mean, at least for now it did wonders. For the first time I can see that the headlamp beam moves when i turn the wheel. Looks great!

Solved this, finally. Write up here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/steering-wheel-heating-not-working.1368596/post-16434583

SOLVED! There is a 4 pin connector at the underside of the wheel with pink, blue, black and a white / black connector. After a test tug in the wires the pink one came apart very easily. This is the switch connection for the dead button. I bought some 18ga line from autozone, gave it a...

Update. I installed a new combo switch (with the heated wheel switch on it) and it did -not- do the trick.

My fluid changes were mentioned on this thread, but I'll update here too: I drained and filled both diffs and the transfer case. I tore the ground between the frame and tcase. Ordered a 6awg connector. Dif fluids were very very dark. T case was brown but not black. Installed the connector I...

I had a double Ironman drawer that I cut in half and run back there. Works well. One third row seat fits perfectly for a spillover passenger. It has a lock too. The weather tech doesn’t bother me.

Poppin in to say I think replacing the wheel itself might be the way to go.

My mpg gain may be from the maitanance I did. I’ll have to run to empty and do an 87 test. The 570 calls for 91 though. Do the ones you have call for 87?

Friday I drained and filled both diffs and the transfer case. I tore the ground between the frame and tcase. Ordered a 6awg connector. Dif fluids were very very dark. T case was brown but not black. Today Installed the connector I ordered, but snapped the transfer case side bolt, oops. So I...

Just rolled 150k. PM time. Did a bunch of stuff to chase MPG. -Took off my roof rack, put the factory bars back ln -changed my pcv valve -cleaned my maf -fed the tank some techron -replaced filters in and out, they weren’t so dirty Just ordered: -8 denso spark plugs (3421), -7 quarts of...

Thank you. Now on to plugs and fluids. Summertime is the best time to get it all done.

Changed my pcv valve yesterday with an OEM one. Super easy took less than 10 min. Also changed my air filters for good measure. Filled 93 and drove 45 miles. Used 2.449 gallons, yielding 18.38mpg. I’d say I’m in good shape now. Thanks gang. My question is, if I go back to 87, do we think...

Update: cleaned my maf and filled up with 91. Took a 125 mile RT. Half of which was in excruciating traffic. Yielded a calculated 17.26mpg Computer claimed 15.8mpg for what it’s worth I have a pcv valve coming. I wonder if that will help further.

My fuel pump coincidentally died on my 470 with 250k miles after adding Techron. I know it probably wasn’t the culprit but now I’m a skeptic.

I had one at 34, I think it might have an ineffective repair in it and a slow leak. Filled it up before the test drive
