Overkill2s truck thread/pertinent Diesel info
EDIT -- TABLE OF CONTENTS
02/16/2023
I am going to start compiling a table of contents for ease of finding all the different posts/information I have posted here in my truck thread.... go down to the bottom of this page where I will list the links and what they are about....
I had a problem with one of the rear red Extremes in the rear in August of 2020. It had a intermittent blinking problem where it would blink and then go out. VLEDs wanted me to switch the bulbs to make sure it wasn't the vehicle. I made videos to show them and sent them. Once they approved the return which was quick, they wanted me to cut the wire at the housing which I did and filmed to send to them as well. They got out a replacement pretty quick so I believe customer service is top notch.
The new bulb has been working great but there was one day not long ago where the new bulb stayed on in the brake/signal function where it's brighter but the same day fixed itself. No more problems. The fronts have been flawless. Bone, you asking where I mounted the resistor for the rears which is plug and play with no splicing of wires. The front bulbs have no resistors at all... they are not needed nor required.
>>>>TABLE OF CONTENTS<<<<
My first LED replacement thread here which deals with front and rear 3157 bulbs replacement and 194 bulb replacement in the cab lights.
Here's my other LED thread for the 194 Bulbs and smoked cab light covers for the cab clearance lights here.
Information on the FS2500 oil bypass filter system I have on my truck here.
Info on brass towing mirror replacements for our trucks here.

Thank you Gentlemen. Appreciate that.
Next up I think is a AFE DFS 780 filter/pump install on my truck to attempt to get my fuel system to last longer; i.e. rid the fuel of all entrained air in the fuel.
Stayed tuned.

Using the title for different topics
One thing that might help you segregate the different topics in the same thread is to put the different topic in each post's title. I've never used the title on a new post (until this one), but this might be a time for it to work.

Hope you're well Chuck if you see this. Happy New Year buddy.

This thread will be for when I install or do something to my 16 F350. To me, it makes more sense to post everything I do to my truck so it will be in one place so I don't have to go searching for my own past threads when someone asks me a question. I hope this helps someone like all the others here who have helped me. May the conversation start...
Hey Bone, I installed my VLEDs Triton Extremes back on 05/04/2020.

Here's the link of where I only posted pics of the front and rear installs.
