Gotcha figured you were talking about that castle looking washer. I bent them in very little to give me some room to tighten it. Also with the amount of black silicone sealant i added, the antenna wasnt budging one bit when in was letting the sealant cure for one hour before tightening it down.


I don't know if it will break, probably not. But can it get tight enough with a worn gasket without denting the roof?

If you look at the photo that Wade posted, the red part crushes, spreads out, as the bolt is tightened to spec.

What are you guys doing to deal with ripping leather on a steering wheel? Mine is ripping open at the top. A whole new wheel or are there cover kits? What is your experiences and suggestions?

They do sell new steering wheel skins. Some places you get the wheel done already, and you have to give your old one as a core, then there's places that sell just the skin, with everything you'll need to stitch it on yourself. If you go that route, you'll need to fix that tear in your old leather. If not, it might eventually show through the new skin. I did this for a customer on his M3. He supplied the skin, got it from ebay. He was extremely happy with the end result.

I replaced mine with a Grant OEM style leather wrapped wheel...... I think I got it on ebay from Summit Racing, it was under $200 shipped

no, theres so little load that the LEDs pull, if you switch everything out to LED, the truck is expected to have halogens in them, which the load is designed for. All those LEDs turning on is probably half the load the halogens were making.

your SUV has factory mode turned on in the BCM

you will have to get it changed to Commercial mode if you want the bulb out detection turned off..


the alternator does not care the battery does not care if you use LEDs
\ the only thing that will care is the BCM and bulb outage detection

Yes, very straightforward job. The only tricky part can be releasing the clips on the back of the airbag.

The steering shaft itself is splined, so the steering wheel can only go on one way


I don't see the $40 core charge option on the website or in my cart. Is that something they mail an offer with the package?

Installed my Powerbond 25% underdrive balancer with an ARP crankbolt.

Badass power mod for the money and time. You can find them for under $250 and only takes about 45 minutes to install......that includes removing/installing the starter.

They're supposed to be good for 13rwhp........the dyno should say on Monday. I will say the butt dyno and going sideways says there is power there

Just curious--how does it give you more power? Less rotating mass?
