    4x4 HI LIGHT FLASHING

    Don't know if you already checked but did you check the Hi/Lo relay or the Hi/Lo indicator switches which are located on the T-Case? I would also be checking for a broken wire or bad connector to the indicator switches going to the ECU.

    DeLorme Earthmate PN-20 for Canada?

    The PN-20 works just fine in Canada and Mexico. The only issue is the DeLorme Topo maps don't go into detail. The other issue is that if unless you use XMap and create your own maps there are no foreign maps or providers that will work with Topo or the PN-20. The lack of foreign maps is a big...

    Duke winches

    Never heard of one until now. Looked at the specs and I would avoid it IMHO. I don't like the warranty. Only 1 year for parts and 90 days on electronics. For a little more you can get a Warn or Ramsey with a limited lifetime warranty. MileMaker has a winch that is only a $100 more and it has a...

    High Idle Kit?

    I read your post and started to wonder why my current department vehicles don’t have the up-idle system that my last department had so I asked. When they purchase their fleet from the manufacture the department has the option to order the up-idle system which is now built into the alternators...

    Syn oil mixed with dino oil?

    I would consider it since Amsoil is a pure synthetic(polyalkyleneglycol) there are issues with polyglycols used in Amsoil, or other pure synthetics, don't mix well with normal mineral oils. Even Mobel1 website discourages the practice of mixing pure synthitic and dino. The biggest thing about...

    05+ Tacoma Skid Plates From Budbuilt!

    Not really an issue with hanging it on the tanks banding. The banding for the fuel tank is robust enough to support the weight of 32#. With a solid flat surface on the bottom of the tank, the tank does not bulge down and flex as much. The flexing and bulging of the tank will do more damage to...
