You can store up to 10 of your favorite channels and curate your own music channel that’s a blend of channels you prefer with the TuneMix feature. The receiver mounts easily on your truck’s dash, and with an optional kit, you can take it out of your truck and listen in your home or outdoors.

Howes Diesel Defender

Howes Diesel Defender — which contains no alcohol or solvents — is a multipurpose fuel additive formulated to improve power, performance and mileage in several ways. It does all that while making your truck run cleaner.
