M1 oil filter I use the M1-209. (on my '05 V8)

My $.02 I'm certainly no expert, but so far I really like my LTX AT2's. I got LT tires because I wanted the stiffer sidewall for less sway when towing, or at least that was my logic. Running them at 44 PSI cold. Great traction in the snow, and not a rough ride at all, imo. With my '05...

Wow, I agree our Wisconsin roads aren't the best, especially in winter and spring, but my '05 SE, with the original Xreas seems to ride just fine, even with heavy LT tires at 44 PSI. Maybe you've got a mechanical problem of some kind, although I can't think right now what it might be. Bill

I bought one of those suction guns from AAP, and it was a piece of C**P, didn't work at all. Maybe I got a bad one, but it went into the dumpster. I bought a syringe (100 cc I think) and stuck a piece of 1/8" clear plastic tubing on the tip and used that to suck the fluid out of the PS...

Has the transmission fluid been serviced lately?

Is the transmission locking up good in 5th?

Advance Auto Supply code Well, I just found out that BIG40 doesn't work any more, but BIG30 does, and gives you $30 off any order over $75, .... BUT NOT for motor oil. One thing that I'm considering, though, is a new battery. They have a group 27M Autocraft Silver battery that seems to be...

Advance Auto Parts coupon code I thought that the BIG40 code was for Advance Auto Parts, but maybe Autozone is using the same code. Every time I try to buy motor oil at AAP with a discount code I get an error message that says something like "zero available". I don't get that message for...

Drain the oil before you take it off :) Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I'm about to order the same 08586-3D871 kit for my '05 SE and I'm wondering if the kit comes with glass breakage sensors or if that has to be purchased separately? By the way, the going price seems to have dropped to about $175 now. Thanks in advance, Bill

Thanks Doc! I've been thinking of a one inch leveling kit (half inch spacers) but it seems like the 2-inch kit (one inch spacers) might be easier to install. This next weekend I'm going to put a jack under the front and see what 2" will look like. Bill

Has anyone installed a kit like this on a T4R with XREAS? I wonder if this kit can be installed with XREAS since it requires a 60-degree rotation of the top plate. Wouldn't the shock also be rotated the 60 degrees, along with the XREAS plumbing? Is that a problem? I'm sure I didn't explain...

I think the V8 comes with a more robust frame mounted hitch, which might be a consideration.

Nice looking dog. Can't say much about the guy standing next to her :) Seriously, do you have an aftermarket front skid? One picture of the front is a little dark to tell for sure. Thanks for sharing, very nice looking truck! Also, which vent visors did you get, the ones that stick with...
