I installed a relay for my rear facing lights so they are tied into my reverse lights.
I also put a led bar under the hood for more light when working on the engine at night.
And I did a mockup of the heat shield out of cardboard.

Drove to and from the bar in the snow. I'd say we got every bit of the 8 inches we were expecting, plus some. Auto4WD works great, but on the way home just now, I was in 2WD and having LOTS of fun when I wanted to! And, lots of stability when I didn't want to have fun. It's great that I can do this with really bald tires!

choover did you check the vacuum lines leading to it? Spray some brake cleaner over any & all lines you can see while the truck is running.
If/when the engine reacts, you've found an issue!
Look for a vacuum line that's off or weathered & cracked too.
Are you sure the switch on the dash doesn't have a electrical issue or the wires to & from it?

Did both U joints in the drive shaft sure made a difference in driving. Back one was dry and locked up no wonder why it rattled my teeth.

I got a pic of my new underhood light last night.

It turned out pretty well I think.
