Default Couldn't be happier!

After close to three months, my truck finally got a new motor in it and I finally got to drive it again today! I also put smoked headlights and HIDs, and the HID ballasts interfere with my FM signal so I need to order an FM Distortion Filter then she's done! I've had withdrawls from not being able to drive it! haha Just thought I'd share my joy.

All of recons stuff is built to last and can handle a beating... You've obviously spent the money on your truck everywhere else... They are worth it... Brightest lights I've ever seen

I just feel that your questions would get more answers on a forum pertinent to your pickup. No hard feelings .
