Are your hoses clamped to the heater core tubes or do they have disconnects like this:

Finally got the Terra G2s on and the level

How are you liking them so far?

It didn't take me long to stack 800 miles on them. (I am demanding a company truck soon) so I have a god feel for them:

Excellent road manners, and quiet.

The quiet is relative. I am comparing them to those mud tires I have been stuffing on the last few years. Compared to the street tires they have a slight hum at highway speed. They balanced perfectly, the last couple sets of 34 inch tires I had were a bastard to balance.

I have not done a big off-road test yet, I had to drag an equipment trailer of a mountain, but as most of you have seen on the news, the northwest is dry as a popcorn fart. I need to find some mud

Replaced the low beams with Silverstar ultras. They made a nice difference.

Too bad you will do it again in 90 days.

Those are the worst bulbs ever, now. I liked them too at one time.

Next time get PIAA. I got 5 years out of my last set, and have them for the new truck, too

Oh I get it, it happened to me a couple times on dark AK days, and I walked into the parts store and got those out of need.

It is so frustrating to pay $30 for a bulb that lasts 3 months.

It makes me sad to hear that the Silverstar Ultras have become that unreliable. Those were my go to halogen for many years.
