I'm sure DRLs are also the cause of deforestation in the rain forests of the Amazon, genocide in Uganda, and the fall of the Roman Empite. Just haven't found any studies to back those up: yet.

Next time I see Al Gore at the handgun range, I will mention DRLs and see if he goes ape sh*t

Problem I found with that discussion is not whether or not DRLs are worth it, it was the idea that $3.00 in fuel per year was a logical reason to have them disabled on a Hummer.

Not a fan of DRLs, but I do see the value in selectable/switchable DRLs for certain driving conditions. I agee with above regarding the discussion about DRLs and saving $3.00 in fuel/year, not worth discussing.

Axles are synthetic, should be good for a while yet.

got the 3 this past christmas.

Just make sure to check that temp before you take the truck in if you can. It'll be good info for the tech and may save him a step or two.

Do the 3's have a trans gauge?

I did hear several people talking about adding an additional trans cooler. Will this help? Of course this is on the H2s.

No gage, but trans temp can be read via a Tech 2. I really doubt any overheating is due to the trans fluid. Could be wrong, but I doubt it. You already have a small cooler. In fact, I believe it is the trans cooler lines that get in the way of the oil filter removal.

Don't you have to go to an FJ dealership for that kind of service?
