Thankfully, no plugs have blown *knocks on wood*, but I believe they fixed the issue by then. Lash adjuster probably needs replacing on mine; rattle on cold start up on colder days. Have to service the rear end also. Seems like it slips a little; cracked exhaust manifold also, lol. Still love it though.

Something about the exhaust manifold on those heritage editions likes to make it Crack. There are 2 of them around here and both sound like they have cracked exhaust manifolds

Only the passenger one is cracked on mine; gives me the excuse to get new headers though, lol.

Though my retrofitter is having a special going on with 15% of projectors and led fogs, plus 30% off labor. That's probably going to push me to finally upgrade to FX-R's.

I haven't seen the led fogs in our gen truck, that would be cool. I'm wanting to upgrade my headlights again lol I want to go either Evo-xr or rx350s. But that won't happen for a while lol right now I'm pretty happy with 55 watt d2s heads and 35 watt mh1 fogs

The closest match I could see are the 2007+ Silverado ones. RX350's would have to be heavily modded. And the EVOX-R projectors... how are those against FX-R's?
