Yup. Used to HATE daylight driving lights.
Now I run with lows + fogs, so idiots will see at least TWO lights in their side mirrors, cuz you can safely ignore one, as every idiot knows.
But I do plan to rig mine for optional daylight driver's lights. Lower the wattage. (Even a hair lower V lets costly bulbs last way longer. It's science and non-linear.)
This is the DRL kit I have on my truck. With LED turn-signal bulbs, they're darned bright.
I haven't even opened the set yet. Been doing this 4R100 today. Found the guys issue. He must've been in there pissing around with it. Found a valve in there backwards.
EDIT: Brew, did you also do the pump portion of the tugger kit?

Whoever was into this 4R100 previously installed this backwards. They had the spring up against the keeper, and the valve against the body. Also had burned up clutches, as well as some pitting.
There's more people now then ever that don't pay attention to their driving. You can do very well in auto body if you can hack doing it all the time. That's a hard one to like enough to make a career out of.
That makes a lot of sense. Cell phones have probably been amazing for the car repair business.
Brewster... yep, all covid free. My 14 year old is about over her sinus infection too. Ron is sick now, lol... so I've been surrounded by sick people for about 2.5 weeks straight.
Replace all the alumunium pistons, plungers and springs (at least that's what I was calling them) For steel pistons. The Aluminum stuff had a lot of wear. Upgraded that stuff.
That's as far as I went with it...what's on the table there. Cleaned up and back together.
Wish I could blow those pics up more, I might remember more...18-19 years ago lol.
Time to replace the headlights. The clear coat began disintegrating sometime last year, and this summer's sun did it in for good. This pic is from earlier this evening, 5 MPH, and low beams. I knew they weren't great, but holy beam-scatter, Batman!
I'll install the new set, then try my hand at cleanimg/sanding/clear-coating these. If they turn out well, into the attic they'll go as spares.

Actually, that alternator is in the truck. The one I rebuilt with the upgraded stator blew the V-regulator (I think) a couple of months ago, and developed some end-to-end play in the shaft.
Coincidence, looking at mine too, though it's fine. '01/5.4. OReillys has a 200A, not brushless but new & limited lifetime! Have read there was a way to add a 2nd alternator... probably a police setup.
