The Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors are designed for a clean, aerodynamic, factory-fitted appearance.They are built for toughness and meet OEM specifications for easy installation. Theses mirrors replace a truck's original exterior mirrors and slide easily with as much as 4-1/2 inches of outward adjustment.

Graduation markings on the arm covers help remind the driver how much telescoping is needed to see past the load. Schefenacker provides a 3-year limited warranty and free technical support.

Particle Catcher
True Flow introduces its polyurethane fine-particle-filtration filter for the 6.0L Ford diesel. True Flow foam filters are made of two-part polyurethane foam. The composition of the foam filters is a series of tiny, interlocking cells of uniform size without straight-through passageways, creating an impossible journey for dirt particles. Each passageway is similar to hundreds of very small oil bath filters or cells connected one to another. The cell strands stop the dirt, while the oil film holds the dirt like fly paper until the filter is cleaned. This is why foam filters are referred to as full depth filters. Foam filters are more than 12 times thicker than paper or gauze elements, which are screens or "surface type" filters. Even as dirt is being stopped in the foam full-depth filter, airflow can continue at a high rate by simply going around the trapped dirt. Unlike paper and gauze filters, foam filters will continue to perform well as the filter becomes dirty. With its lifetime warranty, True Flow foam filters are washable and reusable to give any automobile a lifetime of great filtration and performance.

Crane Program
Owners of late-model trucks and SUVs can significantly increase performance through reprogramming the vehicle's ECU with Crane's new PowerMax Power Tuner. This tuner provides optimum tuning for the stock camshaft, plus three new PowerMax cam profiles, and can deliver as much as 30 extra rear-wheel horsepower from a stock engine. The vehicle-specific device is available for Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Hummer, and Ford trucks, including diesels. Crane's new Power Tuner provides 30-plus tuning parameters and can be used to alternately tune for optimum performance, the best fuel economy, and maximum pulling power, or return it to stock. It can also set optimum shift points for automatic transmissions. Other benefits include compensating for different tire sizes and rearend gears, and being able to change the computer's speed limiter. The easy-to-use device features a plug-and-go hookup, and it only takes minutes to reprogram the ECU using Power Tuners push-button keypad.Other tuning benefits include the ability to make finite adjustments to the spark advance ( 10 percent) from a selected program curve and adjust for any grade of fuel (low, middle, or high octane). Should a lower grade of fuel be accidentally used, Power Tuner will make an automatic adjustment. It reads diagnostic trouble codes and provides an easy clear-code function.
