  1. Yeah. I was just giving you an option. Standalone control systems is the only real way to get the adjustability you want. It would mean other things would have to be either gone away with or made function another way. Like a standalone transmission controller or making it manual valve body and figuring out the AC system. It's either live with what you got or dive off the deep end with mods. Or just slap a 5.3/6.0 and have gobs more power/torque and fuel mileage compared to a TBI truck.
  2. It's not really the wrong filter if it fits in the air box. They just make different grades and for vehicle packages. You won't notice a lick of difference between the two filters. I wouldn't even care personally, it filters air and that's all you need it to do.
  3. Nope, nothing you plug in will do what you want. I would go with a Holley Sniper system or similar. They are a fuel injection carb looking thing with sensors and a mini handheld computer that I believe you can also plug a laptop into.
  4. You need to figure out what cylinders are misfiring. Then look into why those cylinders are. Also check fuel pressure to make sure it's within spec at idle and under load.
  5. That all depends on what is wrong. Could be anything from worn tie rods to having play in the idler and pitman arms. Also could be slop in the intermediate shaft from inside the cab down to the steering box or even the steering box itself. You'll need to inspect all the parts to see what you may need to replace.
  6. Yup, that's how I do it on the ground. Pretty straight forward doing it that way, impact gun makes it a breeze.
  7. Now this is where you can open a can of worms. Religion and "God" are only going to be correct for those that believe in it. To me it's a book written by people that wanted others to follow in what they believed to be true. If I had all that stuff cloud my mind all day I would never get anything done. All I think about when people bring up religion or the bible is Kenneth Copeland, that guy is a absolute quack lol. If you don't donate you go to hell, like c'mon get outta here with that bull crap. Mister Kenneth also said Covid-19 "you are destroyed and will never be back". Well how's that doing for ya 4 months later mister big preacher guy you. That guy only believes in making money from sorry saps that think they need to do what he says otherwise this god won't be happy with them.
  8. School doesn't even start until after Labor Day here, still over a month away. It's up to the districts here to figure out what plan they want to follow.
  9. Pretty sure you will have to remote mount it and run long cables to it. There isn't a spot in the engine bay on the half tons.
  10. I'll place a bet and say it stays right around 165 after that long of a drive. To answer the question about torque specs, snug is the spec.
  11. Nope, went to the 1/8th mile in Grove City. BIR is to far away, going to Grove City is just over an hour from Rogers.
  12. I've had previous vehicles do that before. I've cleaned them up and it never really came back in the time I owned them. If that was my truck I would do the same thing, clean it up and see if it ever comes back. The less people that touch my stuff the better.
  13. The 2014-2016 uses a E92 computer and the 2017-2018 uses a E92A but that isn't going to matter here. The older computer shouldn't have been used in the first place. There are other differences on some sensors from early to later years though. Like parts of the high pressure fuel system.
  14. No cons here, did exactly what is needed. We are just making it like the 6L80e's in the previous body trucks, they never had a thermostat in those and never had problems. There is another thread going on about this today too.
  15. They would never know you did it, so it couldn't void anything. For what it's worth, this is a great thing to do in my opinion. I went to the track last weekend with my truck, it was well over 85 degrees with +80% humidity, that nasty wet hot feeling. The drive there my temps got to 150ish on the open road, let my truck cool off while the track was getting ready. Once the lanes opened I got about 12 runs down the track in about 90 minutes, I hot lapped it back to back many times. It took 4-5 passes for me to even breach 190 degrees and all the runs after that the temps stayed under 196 just beating on it. I left the track and the temps still above 190, within 10 miles it was back down to 165. There is no way it would have ever done that with the thermostat still installed.
  16. Well one of those screens may have multiple things to view when you push the button. That's the only way I can think out. Or just pull out the owners manual to see how it functions.
  17. Does the button you push also twist? I know on some vehicles you twist the knob to jump between different functions of the screen.
  18. Reduced Engine Power should trip some sort of fault, then you can diag the problem from there.
  19. I don't run one and my intake valves looked decent at 104,000 miles. So meh.
  20. Makes ya wonder why kids can even go to school in the first place, I mean if they can spread germs and stuff so easy they should never be allowed out of the house in the first place. I think I've found the solution, we must eliminate all kids from the planet............
  21. You don't really reset anything, doesn't exactly work like clicking a button. Make is the reason for wanting to "reset" the timing? Other than making sure the mechanical parts are working and installed right, the timing is controlled by the computer.
  22. You'd need to get hub centric rings to take of the space. You can not have the rims be centered by the lug nuts, the hub bore needs to center on the hub of the vehicle.
  23. The picture make them look bigger than 235/80's that's for sure but if they are mud tires that are really heavy that is still hurting things some.
