I am going to skip the relays for now I dont think anything will pull enough amps, except maybe the winch and it has its own.

Oh crap! I thought we were friends until I saw the Chevy in your picture!
Joey I have had them all and they are all junk. New 2500 4x4 Ram needed new wheel bearrings and A/C quit with less than 30K miles. New Ford F150 4x4 sent out blue smoke with less than 2k miles. Chevy had a rear main leaking on the showroom floor and the door panel fell out in my hand one day. However my 1998 Chevy has been a good truck and Ill keep it to pass on. I haven't tried Toyota yet but Its going to happen soon.

Yes, So I bought a New old stock 2016 because I can be frugal. With that said, Grinch was delivered to the dealership in August 2016. Like most every mid size dear, they drove it out every day and put it up every night since then. The short trips didn't allow the engine to get warmed up and burn out the fuel residue and it built up on the spark plugs causing them to corrode and weaken. It is what I assumed (hoped) in the first place just based on my mechanical abilities. As a precaution Honda also had them drain and replace the fuel and I made them change the oil.

dealer came all the way to fix it, now that impressive! If I could find a dealership like that then maybe I wouldn't have to memorize the damn service manual and have more free time lol.

Agreed! Too bad they didn't all have to follow the same customer standards. It's nice that some do right by the customer

Wow, getting after it!


CP: This group looked for anything rough and had a great time. It wasn't all about who was the best or correct line just some good ol boys with a beer and a 4wd.
