I had a wiring harness repaired after only 419 miles. The truck had to be towed in. Subsequently the truck has died on me 5 times. I did return to the dealer after the second incident. (It would restart.) They had it for three days and found nothing. They tried to tell me I had bad fuel. It's still dying in traffic. I'm going to go back one more time. They won't find anything. I guess we'll have to wait for a service bulletin. It's pretty annoying, not to mention dangerous. Keep us posted if you get a solution.

Hi Tim
Yes I put the Banks 4" monster cat back system with 5" tip, lights are real bright but a real pain to install.
