Known issues:

• CORRECTED!!!!! Low fuel light always on, Lights up bright when actually low. All gauges work perfectly. It's amazing what cleaning a connector and dielectric grease can do.
this truck runs strong. coming from a subaru (still have a 2004 STi) i'm hoping fixing these are a piece of cake like subarus. Just took it offroading at Wharton State forrest and it was a blast! any south jersey/nj ownes here?
