The HID is day and night difference. I wish you could drive my truck to see side by side comparison. It's amazing the difference and really puts out the light the truck should've had to begin with.
But you don't have factory rims so did your offset change and or rim width on the 17s? I have heard 285 series to fit but not 295 factory. Even with front leveling
The truck won't heat it a solid 10 seconds it's just a delay to let the computer get everything up to temp. So you won't do any harm overheating the glow plugs with an unnecessary delay.
Theoretically it should be just 10seconds set it and forget it. Good enough forever
Block heater is essential to minimize engine wear but the 10 second delay would probably be best for glow plugs to assure any weather starting. And if it's not a temp issue well it's 8 additional seconds that you didn't have your truck running after you asked it too. Not the end of the world...
I know I've seen one. There's kind of two options, if I recall, either remove the intake box to access the top and/or you also have to unfasten the rear (cab side) of the passenger front wheel well to access the plug and other mount.
Typical R&I.
Of course computer so have the battery...
Had it all installed anyways, then had a warm day I had to go out of town last week. 55-60 degrees, oil and coolant temps were hitting mid 220s so I stopped and pulled the top off, took all of 45 seconds on the side of the road.
Winter is showing up tonight and seems here to stay so it'll be...
Maybe so but after one serious shop failure in doing so I think I'd have taken two truck payments and continued oil changes myself. And if you're considering Trading in in a couple years I don't foresee you getting your value out of 60k worth of oil changes that you don't use
But what you were gambling was whether or not you had to have your $5,000 eBay drivetrain painted cat yellow installed into your truck vs saving the one that is in it. Regardless of any shop or dealer quote to drop in a new 30k engine that's far from taking a 30k gamble... I mean anyone in your...
Search "3526D" on eBay and it'll come up.
About 22$ shipped if anyone wants to try it out. 3.75" measurement is pretty close to the ecodiesel fuel filter housing.
It states designed for the Ford but works on similar designs. Well the ecodiesel has the same 4 tabs that this would grip two of...

There's no season this or something identical but to the housing diameter on our trucks wouldn't Work. And...
Winter fronts are tied into this because if you're in cold climates and your truck isn't getting up to temp then your exhaust isn't reaching high enough temps to regen. Typically your truck needs to be completely up to temp
Every truck does that under a lot of city driving where it cannot complete a normal regen cycle. But that is essentially an emergency regen. Typically it is done by the truck during normal driving. Called a passive regen. The evic message is telling you it needs to do it NOW because it's too...
