Thanks DJ. I'll call the dealer today and see. I work right by LHM Truckland. They are always cheaper than Amazon for XL-3 too. ***crossing fingers***

EDIT: Too bad my Buddy doesn't work there anymore, I used to get stuff for about half off through him.

I have been getting mine from Ed Kenley Ford and Walmart
Did just notice the cases are now 119.00 on Ebay for 12 of them
Bummer
Maybe we all can switch the inserts on out blocks to fit the metric threaded Fl820s or install a remote location adapter like the Expeditions have
Pisses me off
Obsolete parts

Reasonable pricing for anything anymore is going extinct. We are thinking about Costco for us the grandkids for awhile....going through the freezer in the garage and restocking. Try buying in bulk for awhile. Big families are really feeling it...

IXNAY on this comment.

FL1A's are $15.91 there, and the XL3 has gone up to $13.55

My brain told me to look at LMR. They have FL1A's for $9.10 and XL3 is $8.99 there. Guess I'm going to make an order from LMR.

I've found that the block is 1 1/16-12 thread, and the FL20S is M22x1.5 thread. I'll be damned if I can find anything that doesn't turn it into a remote mount though. ****....

Still hunting.

When I find a solution... I'm getting two, lol.

I'm glad the 6two uses 820's as well.


Gonna swap the 15 year old 2009 Odyssey (EnerSys) battery out in the 98 with 2019 Motorcraft (Johnson Controls) battery in one ton. The Motorcraft has about had it I think...it's just slow.

Pretty sure the 98 is sold and I told them I'm swapping that battery....that freak of nature has sentimental value at this point. Hope it's the same group #
