$10 lawsuit settlement agreement from Sylvania.

If you purchased Sylvania headlight bulbs for your ride, (like I did ), there is a lawsuit settlement due to the false advertising claims made regarding their brightness and life expectancy. You can submit a claim, without receipt or proof of purchase**, and receive a $10 settlement check (It's a minimum $10, maybe more depending on claims filed). One claim limit.

Go to the link below to file a claim, if entitled .

Enter 'NO' when asked if you have received a postcard notification.

www.autolightclaims.com

____________________________________________


Details:

Purchasers of Sylvania covered products from Sept. 22, 2005 to July 11, 2014.
Products included are:
  • SilverStar ULTRA, SilverStar, XtraVision or Cool Blue replacement headlight capsules;
  • SilverStar, XtraVision or Cool Blue sealed beam headlights; and
  • SilverStar fog or auxiliary lights.
Estimated amount:
$10 minimum per valid claim
Note this is just an estimate and the amount may be more or less depending on the number of valid claims.

Proof of Purchase:
Not Required** (If you received a notification in the mail you don’t need to submit a claim. You will automatically receive a check).

**If you did not receive a notification in the mail:**
You either need to provide proof of purchase (such as a receipt, credit card record, document, or product packaging) or swear under oath that you purchased one of the included Covered Products, for other than resale or distribution to others.

Case Summary:
The plaintiffs alleged that the manufacturers of Sylvania headlights overstated the brightness, road visibility and life expectancy of some of its premium headlights. Sylvania reportedly sold as many as 60 million replacement headlights during the Class Period The defendants deny the allegations and stand by their advertising. The defendants however, have agreed to settle out of court to avoid the expense and uncertainty associated with a long litigation process.

Settlement Pool:
$30,000,000

Deadline to file a claim:

November 14th, 2014.

Checks will be mailed out in 2015.

Here's a full floor console for a manual, it needs a lid, but these are extremely hard to find.
The lids are all over Ebay.

It will fit into 2001-2007 Dakotas.

Superchips Cortex 3950, EDIT ---> SOLD right here in the DF classifieds.

This is the same programmer as the SC 3865, with some sort of warranty (not sure exactly what it covers). If you're thinking about getting a programmer, I would jump on this.

They say it works on 2005-2008 4.7 Dakota, I'm not positive on the 08 though.

Since my exhaust is rusting away, I've been keeping an eye on some cat back systems for our Dakotas. The prices on Magnaflow are pretty low right now on Amazon, and for those of you where they don't charge tax, even better:

Magnaflow 16621 SI/SO Stainless steel, <b>$546</b> Magnaflow 16621 SI/SO Stainless steel, $546
(1 left)

Magnaflow 16622 SI/DO Stainless steel, $564
(3 left)

The price usually jumps back up after someone buys one.

I ordered something else...
