    Powerstroke and Amsoil Questions

    Do you remember what size fittings were needed for the bp-80a filter head? Same as the BMK-11 filter head? On my powerstroke I plan on plumbing it into the full flow filter housing and the plug on the block thanks

    My wife is getting a remote starter, alarm, etc installed in her tundra today. I'm curious to know if anyone has found increased wear after the install of a remote starter.
