    Is this normal MPG??

    I have the same truck, 2008 4.0L V6, since new and my dash normally says about 15, but when I have punched some numbers in myself, I got close to 16. I do mostly in town driving with the occasional 45 mph road. I do baby it a little because of the mpg, but from my experience the dash is pretty...

    Help, backspacing?

    I love the look of those rims Eddie! What brand are those and where did you get them? Sorry for the unrelated post.

    Bull bar brackets

    Chris, The bar I have is the ultimate bull bar by westin. A little different but same concept. I think it was from a bigger truck because the westin website said the one for STs were 2.5 inch in diameter and mine is 3 inches. I'll give pep boys a shot. Hopefully they still do that here...

    Bull bar brackets

    So you just went to Pep Boys and talked to a sales rep and they got you the part? I didn't see anything on their website. The $50 price sounds awesome. The two companies I talked to want around $85 and no return/ promise that it will fit.

    Bull bar brackets

    I am looking for brackets for a bull bar I picked up off Craigslist. It's the 3 inch tube westin bull bar and just was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some. I emailed/messaged westin and 2 other companies but no response yet. Open to Jerry rigging something but welding/bending thick...

    Instrument panel lights

    Thanks. And that last link cleared up my next question and getting blue LEDs to change the color. Has anyone changed the green color to another successfully?

    Instrument panel lights

    I see the led bulbs but the only OEM bulb I see it 1 for $10. No way I'm spending $70 for light bulbs. Haha I'm thinking I will give the led bulbs a try. Are they just a plug and play or do I need additional parts?

    Instrument panel lights

    After a little searching I thought the 194 bulb was the dash panel bulbs but those are way too big. I replaced the ignition switch today and was going to do the bulbs too but had the 194 bulbs. Does anyone know the part number for the replacement bulbs or even LED bulbs?

    Weird issue. "Overheating"

    After doing some research on here I replaced the thermostat the other day. I kept seeing cracked thermostat housings in my searches but my coolant levels were still pretty good. Saw some gunk on the radiator cap and inside the t-stat housing when I opened it up. Decided to drain the fluid and do...

    Weird issue. "Overheating"

    The coolant level is just below the full cold after sitting all night. Haven't noticed any leaks but not entirely sure where I should look. It's been raining the last couple days so there hasn't been a puddle of coolant under the truck. I popped the cap on the radiator and noticed some...

    Weird issue. "Overheating"

    I have an 08 XLT with just over 90k miles on it. Today while accelerating to get on the highway the temp gauge maxed out and the light came on. I heard a loud blowing sound come from under the hood. I pulled over and almost right away the gauge came back down, light went out, and when I...

    Roof rack

    I had a leak coming from the back too on my 2008 and there seems have been a problem with the 3rd brake light letting water in. Most common solution I got from people on here was to take off the light assembly and add a line of silicone to the seal to help keep the water out. So far it has word...
