Consumer Description

MEGA FUSE AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE, I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENTS AND HEADLIGHTS GOING HAYWIRE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK THE ENGINE WOULD DIE. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL ON THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER CHANGING OUT THE FACTORY MEGA FUSE THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. BALL BEARING ISSUE: THE BALL BEARING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAS GONE OUT TWICE IN OVER A ONE YEAR PERIOD. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR NORMAL TRANSPORTATION WORK/HOME. I AM HAVING TO HAVE THE BEARING CHANGED AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
