$50 and under modifications

By far the best one for me so far was sticking a paint stick under the throttle.

Incase your not aware....

Move your throttle with your hand and watch the throttle assembly. For many of us it's so loose that we have 1/2 inch of throttle travel before it actually does anything. Stick something behind the assembly and throttle response is much better.

Could you elaborate on this? By throttle assembly you mean Gas pedal?

Great Thread!

The gas pedal is mounted to a molded plastic plate that attaches to the firewall. The plate isn't supported directly behind the pedal and it flexes slightly when the pedal is first pressed. Adding something between the plate and firewall stops the flex and makes the throttle more responsive. I don't believe the trucks with adjustable pedals have the issue though.

Cool thread. I see some Christmas ideas I can give out.

My truck has adjustable pedals, most of the people that have the issue have adjustable pedals

They Don't ship to Canada....

The ones on e-bay they want like $25 with shipping, seems a bit ridiculous......

You willing to order me one and send it on up to the north? haha

Just buy a small piece of vinyl and stick it on the bowtie and then carefully cut off the excess with a razor blade.

Added 4G LTE and WiFi hotspot to my truck via T-Mobile for free. T-mobile ran a promotion this weekend (extended thru today) add 2 lines to your existing or new account for free (they get what the main lines have, for free - after bill credit, for life) and T-Mobile was also giving away their new Sync Up Drive for free (also after bill credit).

The Mrs. and I currently have unlimited talk and data. A cool way to save some money for sure.

 

Then when I was at Toys R Us (for the kids) they were selling their display tablets and I picked one up for $20 and a headrest mount for $10. The tablet is for movies/netflix and games so not a bad way to spend $30 in all.
