Sorry about the Air Dog Don. I haven't heard any complaints on this end from anyone, yet. I installed the FASS on my lml, and ran it for about 90k miles. Highway roads to lots of off road and mud. Never did anything but change the filters every 10k miles...Wise choice on replacing the HID lights. Was having a lot of issues out of mine after 50k miles, so I pulled them all out and went back with factory bulbs...I know the LED headlights on my new dodge do not get very hot, at all. Doubt they would melt any snow or ice away if I ever ran in to the white stuff...
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
I gambled back in 2007 or 2008 and bought offshore (yeah I know) HID's. They were cheap enough to try the gamble and throw away if they were junk so I said what the heck. Last fall I changed my first bulbs. Maybe I just got lucky, who knows, but having said that they continue to serve me well. I am however interested in how the LED ones turn out. Deep in the bush lots of light is important to me.
I have a set of 3200 Lumen LED bulbs for the Silverado which should be going in this week. But they too have some sort of ballast/ignition unit and are not simply bulb units. With the HID's the bulbs weren't what failed, it is always the ballast units going bad. I hope these new LED units are not the same.
my new dodge

Looking down the road, this was just purchased to be towed behind SquareD as part of a survival system.

Roger that...Just took awhile!
RMT?
Gotcha. Just ask Don about roof mounted tents, if you want to see someone get riled up!

Hey Don-When's the new scheduled date for the upgrade on the ole knee?
The motor is comfortably resting within the frame rails of Square D once again!
