Just about all my LED's.

There's usually at least one flickering or burnt out.

1. Banks Six gun - no bueno on hp
2. BDPP - pretty much a waste of time
3. Quad Commander - Never could get Quad to get the boost gauge to read over 44psi...so I had to go with analog.
4. Turbo timer....should have left it on the shelf in the store...no its on my shelf.

Wow, this thread should be mandatory reading when you buy a diesel!

Nice to see what comes up alot, I'm sure those guys will read? Someone needs to compile this into a spreadsheet and start up a my favorite mod forum.

My biggest regret so far is buying auto and not buying a dually (for what I so)

My next biggest regret is taking my truck to the dealership for work post warranty, I got screwed becuase their "diesel mechanic" can't troubleshoot and just replaced my whole fuel system, most of which was probably good still. I spent $8500 to fix a 75,000 mile truck.

I regret my Quad rail pressure / fuel pressure gauge. It didn’t work out of the box and their customer support is about the worst I have ever experienced. Seriously!

on 05 my stupid expensive fox shocks rode like crap on road. They were even a bit much off road and very very expensive! my 5100 bilstiens on my 07 are way better on road and are fine off road unless i hit such a big whoop that a couple of tires leave ground. I also regretted the HID's on my 05' and my tool box that was so hard to get into that they just took my truck...ugh

should have bought a mega...I'm 6'8" and weight over 300 and need the room. And I have Cane Corso Mastiffs and could use that room in the back. I regret I did't keep the motor out of my 05 (which was all that was left) and put it in an excursion...or a King Ranch or old H1...I also regret buying an 03' 6.0 ford...I was young and impressionable and had the first massive torqshift failure in the history of the tranny,ran on six cylinders not knowing two injectors were out for 20k miles and had to drive thst POS for two years till I was not upside down in it to slide back into a CTD...I regret all the tires I had before I found toyo's
