Today I was true to my words on facebook in the gas tank post. I lived on the edge and it might not have been as bad, had I had the key to open the gas cap. Drove 18 miles with the light on from my mothers house to mine. It never started shuttering so I know there is some in there still.
I decided I needed to buy another truck for some reason after I paid mine off. If I did the math like you did, I would probably cry at how much mine cost me. The interest alone would make some people cry, but I stuck through it and have no regrets. Lets just say my new truck cost $10kk more than the TB, and my payments are still $50 cheaper a month.
Nice, I think most of us will be in the paid of club in the near future. It is a great feeling.Grimor said:

I once knew a guy who had a lowered truck, the license plate frame said "No fat chicks, my ride scrapes" (It actually didn't say ride, it had a different word that I'd prefer not to use.)HARDTRAILZ said:

It is Orange and looks sweet! Thanks again.
Drove the truck all over town for supplies n whatnot on the remodel. Got the spare rebalanced too.

Mine hasn't even been driven for a week due to the broken trailing arm, and Fedex tracking shows it has not moved since Saturday 
I did put the rest of my LED bulbs in the dome lights last night though. And blew a fuse in the process by putting the bulb in 90 degrees and shorting the socket

Damn Fedex has been fucking us GMTnation guys, it's a conspiracy gents!Sparky said:Mine hasn't even been driven for a week due to the broken trailing arm, and Fedex tracking shows it has not moved since Saturday

the $$ tree is getting pretty slim now that i used it to buy my new wheels. Ill probably just buy new sensors and install them. I have no down time since she's my dd. So sending my pcm off is not an option. And the guy who originally tuned my truck sold his hptuners.Sparky said:

Is it actually the sensor I wonder or actually a cat performance issue? If the cat simply isn't behaving anymore you can always use a spark plug nonfouler to back the sensor out of the exhaust stream a bit to fool the O2 into thinking everything is A OK 
I may be doing this to my parents' Chrysler actually. Their cat is borderline on functionality but not at all plugged, so this may be the cheap fix.

actually thinking of not running cats. But then I will need a tune for that. So when I get my shit together. .. install fans and wanna do the other things I might send my pcm to pcmofnc.Sparky said:Is it actually the sensor I wonder or actually a cat performance issue?

Discovered things with it!
Another condition for enabling fuel cutoff: the vehicle is in cruise control, and going >10MPH over the set speed. Fuel state will switch from Closed to OPEN1 (on my scanner, each scanner may be different, this state means there is no injection occurring).
This may explain those threads asking about the "chug" while going downhill in cruise control. If there is a lower RPM limit, and fuel cutoff is happening around it, it may be going open and closed repeatedly. Just a theory.

now you just gotta get you some resistors or a new flasher module for LEDs 
What size chips are on those switchbacks?

Not sure man
They are either 5050 if they are square shaped chips, or 3528 if they are tiny rectangles.
You may not mind the hyperflash yourself, but it doesn't boost your credibility when modding if you only go half assed.
They're 5050's thenBlckshdw said:They are either 5050 if they are square shaped chips, or 3528 if they are tiny rectangles.

I could do load resistors, but I like the way it is. To each their own

But I understand where you're coming from about hyperflash, Capote.
Just like how I prefer AW style switchbacks compared to everyone here hating them.
Thanks; yeah dude I like AW style too, the ones I chose just happened to be amongst the better reviewed and rated. Didn't see any AW styles though.Mounce said:You forgot 5630-large rectangles

The listings that I've read recently on Ebay seems like the seller doesn't know anything about them. They give the vague-est information they can find and sound like they don't know what they're selling. 
I hate buying from Ebay when it comes to anything Automotive Lighting wise, because multiple sellers will have the same images for items, or like you said limited info or don't know shit about the product they're sellingMounce said:The listings that I've read recently on Ebay seems like the seller doesn't know anything about them.
