I don't even want to think about it. It's just an aluminum guard; all for just looks.Post up after you smash a deer with that thing.
I've always heard, "If you don't look back at your truck when you walk away, do you really have a truck?" I do it . . . every time!!!I just can't quit staring at this thing now. I stood out in the driveway for 10 minutes with the booger light shining on it.
I'd say there is a good chance of a stone going through that, unless of course you made a steel guard to at least wrap around the front of it.Time for an update I reckon.
Not much to report on, mainly been dd'ing it and still trying to sort out my issues. Got an appointment at my mechanic to drop the pan on the transmission and replace the harness and a solenoid or two. Can't do anything with that until I get the crew cab on the road though, so for now I'm just taking it easy driving it around.
I had a wild idea pop through my head, looking at lift pumps, fuel/water separators, and all kinds of filter housings for my 6.5 got me thinking, would it be possible to install a spin on fuel filter housing on a gasser? I know the filters now are stupid easy to replace, but I like the idea of having a very fine micron rated filter, I did some digging and found this on another forum, it's a guy who installed an external fuel pump with a spin on filter. Would it be worth the effort to do such a thing? I'm already looking at Amsoil bypass filter set ups, as well as an external trans filter set up. Why not explore all options for maximum and effective filtration?
Honestly the location I'd mount it in is pretty well protected, but maybe redundant protection wouldn't be a bad idea.I'd say there is a good chance of a stone going through that, unless of course you made a steel guard to at least wrap around the front of it.
My buddy just recommended the same thing, the fluid in my trans is dark but doesn't smell burnt. But I fear the dark color tells me everything I need to know.Don't pay for a flush, just do a filter swap, disconnect the return line and run it into a bucket, then pump new fluid through with the engine idling until it comes out clean.
