    Quick mental check prior to order ... brake pads/rotors for '01

    I'm having front rotors/pads replaced on my '01 and I've spent "hours" going through posts here and I'm about to pull the trigger. For quality parts looks like the consensus is stick with Motorola rotors and it looks like personal preference on the pads. Going through Amazon ($10...

    Seeking reasonable amp from Best Buy for 2001 ST with stock audiophile HU

    I have upgraded speakers to Polk Dx7 and was happy with the upgrade until I changed input source on my XM unit. I upgraded headunits (not the one in the dash) on my XM from Delphi SkyFi to SkyFi2 and the volume dropped significantly - I have to crank volume to 100% to hear it while driving...

    Maintenance: Purchasing parts and having them put on at a local shop (rotors/ignition/shocks/etc)

    Good morning all, I am looking to have some work done on my Job 1 4x2 and seeking suggestions. Cost is a consideration but since I'm going to drop $ on the maintenance, I might as well get some benefit from better quality parts if they aren't significantly more expensive, right? Could...

    115k service ... what work should be performed

    I hate to admit but I haven't had my 4x2 Job 1 in for dealer service in .... uh, years. I've had 5k synth oil changes and some annual maintenance at a local service station but I need to take my truck in for a proper once-over (to include getting recall work done). Short of pulling out...

    Consistently decreasing MPG over the life of this truck ... normal?

    I've kept track of all but a handful of my mileage stats on each fill-up and have noticed consistent degradation of MPG over time. Nearly straight line - is this to be expected? Northern Virginia driving. [Broken External Image]: (btw hi old-timers! first post in ~3 years)

    Faceplate for single-DIN head unit?

    Can someone provide picture/link to faceplate that will mount single DIN head unit and have space underneath for something else? (wallet/sunglasses/etc). Probably a FAQ but I search a couple pages worth of audio posts and didn't see the answer.

    Configuring PIAA 520s to come on with high-beam flash

    I have the PIAA 520 set up nicely with the interior switch but I would find them more useable if they were hooked up with my factory high beam switch. I think I can connect the power lead from the LED switch directly to the high beam lead going into the headlight. So when the high beams are...
