    Eagle Eyes bulb swap

    Has anyone put a better bulb in these aftermarket light housings? The ones that came in it are awful. My oem fog lights put out more light. I’ve been researching and most results come up with the entire assembly being installed. I unplugged it and the bulb is fixed. It looks like the entire...

    203 thermostat or not

    Who all is running the 203* stat in their rigs? I need a new one and was going to upgrade during the change. I think stock is 195? After we hit colder weather I'm convinced my stat is stuck open. I drove it an hour and it never warmed up to the point that the EBP valve would constantly open...

    Exhaust Back Pressure plate/fitting

    7.3 PSD experts: Has any seen this? I was trying to replace the fitting that went in the plate that the EBP sensor screws into. I have a sensor broke off in the fitting. It looks like it's been welded so it wouldn't spin. Is this stock? Doubtful. Anyway, any idea where to get a new one...
