Put in a shut off valve on my heater hose,


Then switched out my spots for fogs.

This company is VERY good. When I first received them a couple weeks ago, they were easy to install. The wiring was already water proofed, button switch wired, and relay wired. All I had to do was connect the Red n Black wires to battery and plug in the lights. This past Saturday the company asked me how I liked thier product. I emailed them telling them I was impressed, But On my part I mistakenly ordered the spot lights instead of the fogs. They immediately replied saying a fog light kit was on the way. For free! and to keep the ones I have now! This morning while doing the valve on my heater hose, Fed Ex showed up with the new lights. Thats only two days from when I emailed them. Product and customer service is A+ in my book.

daan,
Which company and lights are those?
They look like what I used for backup lights.
Nice and bright and like you say - easy to install.

Why the shut off valve on your heater?

The valve is to see if I can get my A/C to be a little cooler. The heater in this truck never shuts off, and I believe the A/C air is being warmed by it, and the heater core heating the passenger side of cab a bit.

I was not sure if I was allowed to name any companies. But If I am here are some pics. I am VERY pleased with customer service, quality of parts and ease of installation.

These trucks are notorious for not having great AC.

Edit, I see you have a thread on the matter and already know this. Ha

I went sliding through a wet light this morning because the person coming the opposite direction decided not to stop for the red light (I was in the intersection and needed to clear it and the road was slick as ****).

After that the truck starts shaking and sputtering. I turn it off and back on, boom, low fuel level light (I had 108 miles to E a minute ago) and CEL. Looked at the error on the Edge, Misfire on Cylinder 4. Guess which COP I had to replace, last minute, with a Duralast COP.

You guessed it. Cylinder 4.

I really have no choice. Local auto parts place can have one here tomorrow but I had to pay for it up front, which I'm fine with, thankfully the guy took my stuff over the phone.

I also reached out to a member who offered me a used one for shipping. I'm pissed off at the "lifetime warranty" duralast one. I wonder if I can get a less than 30 days refund.
