Yeah,that Death Flash is one reason I try to do
everything to my truck(s) myself. I'm afraid of
getting that sucker,even inadvertently. Luckily,my 4.7
has been service-center shy from 2001 right up
until.....well,this past month. And it still hasn't
gone in for service! All I need to fix is the drippy
rear-end and my P0442 code. And do the transmission
filters...it's about 20,000 miles past due.
Runs great!
P.S. Try the seat thing and see for yourself. :)
