Haven't had time to do the passenger side yet but truck seems to be running just ok. I did notice the fuel mileage dropped by about 3 miles per gallon though. I am now only getting about 11.3 per the display which has usually been pretty accurate. Will try to do the other side this weekend but it isn't looking good as far as the schedule is working out.

The display is garbage. Hand calculate your mileage.
