I read on their site that they were priced as bare steel? What is the powder coat cost? (<- if you know) How difficult is it to relocate the bumper sensors? Do you need any new cables/extensions or a different sensor surround/mount? And, final question: what size lights fit in the foglight...

Gotta say, I REALLY like the Wicked Bumper look. If it came painted or, better, powder coated I would call them today. Meantime, I want to see more pix. ;)

I'm in the same boat. My son has a some a**hat nearby who cannot help but hit my son's bumpers. He'll wake up and his truck will have another bumper scar. I think steel is the solution.

A half-day? That's not too bad. Guess it's a (relatively) simple plumbing job to swap pumps. Far simpler than if the original pump grenades the entire fuel system. I'm still curious what the fix is. If it's just re-routing the pump lubricating fuel to the tank so the fuel filter can...

Well, he could be concerned about his nose sticking too far out into the traffic lane?

I like it! How many horsepower does it add? ;)

If you are seriously contemplating legal action (refund or a new truck?), then, yes, you'd be best served by contacting a lawyer. At a minimum, a loaner truck and covering payments should be expected.

What base sound system did your truck come with? And, are you adding any amp/equalizer?

My truck got nailed by golf-ball size hail back at the end of June. I had to wait for a turn with a paintless dent repair guru. I picked it up a week ago, Friday. It was flawless. Literally. I went over it with a dent screen and couldn't find a ripple. Some of the impacts were deep, right on...

Better yet, take a picture of the part number on that new glass. And post it here. ;)

Catch cans didn't do much to keep the valves clean...until direct injection became a thing. (Carburetors and injectors clean off the valves.) Now, if you're talking about keeping the oil away from the plugs or exhaust valves (soot), then that's another reason for them, though admittedly minor...

Today...I dropped it off at the body shop to get all the hail dents removed. PDR-style. Sigh.

I wonder what happened??? The obvious assumption is something oil related...and therefore the change at the dealership. Did you check your dipstick after they did the change?

I can't speak to many of your observations, but for the oil plug, look at Fumoto oil drain valves. Yeah, I was a skeptic at first, thinking about damaging it. That was back in '03. Since then, I've put them on EVERY vehicle I own, and also on my sons'. You can slip a hose on it and direct...

This. No china-bomb tires, stable trailer load, keep up with traffic, don't block the left lane.

Before I bought my truck, I asked this forum about the MFT. Overwhelmingly, the response was, "get it." I got it. I could not be happier that I did. It has proven to be one of the most often used features I use.

Rain.

Me? I hooked up a tandem-wheel car trailer, tossed a sedan on it, then towed it about 1 1/2 hours away. The ecoDiesel chugged along at ~1800 rpm, 70-ish MPH, and it was as if there was nothing behind me. (I selected 4-wheel auto, Tow/haul mode (keeps transmission from hunting for gears) and...

Yeah, this is a cosmetic issue only. It's a "live and learn" thing. I like the look of them, but the next rims I purchase, I'll know to make sure they don't have an undercut lip.

Do you have any idea what makes that part number "fixed" compared to the original? (The problem is the roller/cup assembly being able to rotate. A bypass circuit, like S&S offers for OTHER pumps (not ours) just sends the contaminated fuel back to the tank, where normal flow has it going through...
