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.
