Definitely not cheap - but yes - you are paying for someone's time, research, skill, etc. If I spent the time I'm sure I could figure out a mating plug and the right pins and then put one together -- but it might be just worth the $50.
Realistically, the only thing I would do different is also...
Didn't see anyone answer this, but here are a couple options depending on what model you have:

No direct experience with these tires, but I do have the CC2's. Have had them for maybe 1500 miles now -- they are fantastic!
We are starting to get into the rainy season here and just had a pretty good storm. I was driving and generally am able to avoid most hydroplaning situations, but found...
I think it would depend on how heavy the sheets are. It comes folded in a box, but does hold it's shape when unpacked, so it is sturdy, but it also attached with a combination of plastic push pins and hokey metal clips too, so keep that in mind as well.
I think it would have to be tried to know...
Same model I installed. I paid $180 for it in January, so nice little price drop. I looked at the OEM but it was twice the price and I didn't like the weird angles. So I decided to take a chance with this one.
I spent quite a bit of time lining up the horizontal and vertical bars because I...
It's a little bracket supporting a small cooling hose that gets bent about 1/4" or so. You don't even have to bend it really, it just gives some additional clearance so the oil filter isn't touching the hose. If I didn't point it out , you would never even know looking at it.
Yes- you can use the FL1A sized filter. Just need to bend a coolant hose bracket a little to give some more clearance. I pointed to it in my pics, otherwise you will see it when you try to fit the new filter. Just use something smooth jawed so you don't mark it up and give it a little tweak --...
IIRC, there is like a tab on the curved end that will let you pop it up and then unclip it from the other side. I'll have to go back and look at my pics if that doesn't sound right.
You can just cut it with sharp side cutters - it's deceptive it looks very tight and impossible. Once you cut it you will see how it comes out and a new ones goes in.
Correct- no changes other than Forscan. I've had my setup for maybe 6-8 months with zero issues.
I do think DD does a black Friday thing but don't recall if it's only certain items or how it works. Might be able to search for info on last year's sale?
It's hard to get good pictures of lights. They look just like the OEM lights except the colors are more intense (i.e. more white, more red, more amber) and depending on the bulbs you choose they are brighter. You definitely won't be able to tell from pictures that they are instant-on and off as...
Not the only way and arguably not the best way. I think most people would say the best way to go is disabling the bulb outage notification in Forscan. It's easier, completely reversible, and leaves your wiring intact vs. having multiple potential points of corrosion and failure.
Yes- this is the old-school Mopar/Ford filter that they used for years. If you're not sure or want a different brand or model, just search for something like 88 Mustang 5.0 and it will be the correct filter.
It's rare nowadays, but DD is a real US based company with customer service. They will respond. Probably tomorrow if you shoot them a message today. My experience has been great with them.
That aside, it does seem unusual to charge for a backordered part, but maybe that's their policy.
Shoot...
Ok, we are still saying the same thing. LEDs won't hyperflash to tell you a bulb is out. They hyperflash already because of the low current draw. So if you fix that with a resistor, for example, even if the LED goes out, it still won't hyperflash.
I agree Forscan is easier. I recommend it not...
That's actually how you are supposed to fill the trans - warm up and it will spill out the level plug to the correct level. But when the engine isn't running (not pumping trans fluid), the level goes above the fill plug. So if it was loose, it could drip outwhen not running, but be at the...
I'm not sure what you are arguing and saying is misinformation -- we are saying the same thing!
Except for the Forscan change. My truck is a 24 Lariat and I did not need to disable the stop lamp setting. I think it must vary from vehicle to vehicle then.
There are only two openings involved in the transmission fluid change- the vent at the top for filling and the level plug on the side for setting the fluid level. Not sure if they do something different for a "flush," but hopefully the tech was just messy and let the fluid splash all over from...
