This is the frost vehicle I have upgraded things in that need more juice so I decoded to go all new and researched before I bought. I am at a loss right now. I drove on the freeway and when merging my airbag light came on and ipc shut down.

 

I pulled over checked the wiring and belt. They were fine. Started it up and then it said service brake booster.

 

Shut off again and restarted and all is well.

Got the oil changed and picked up some batteries for some of the pistols I carry (Crimson Trace laser grips) now that my CPL finally arrived.

Step 1. 2 bucket wash (using grit guards) using ONR (optimum no rinse) and a schmitt foam wash mitt

Step 2. Cleaned the paint using Ultima paint cleaning system. It is kind of like a claybar, but its actually a foam block. Used this for the first time. It worked ok.

Step 3. Used some Adam's waterless car wash just to make sure everything was clean

Step 4. Sealed paint using Blackfire Cystal sealant. This stuff is great. Spary on the paint and use a small foam pad to wipe into the truck. I let this cure for at least 24 hours before step 5

Step 5. Topped the sealant with Collinite 845. Used a simialr foam pad to apply

I go between my phone and computer so I miss some things. I got 24k gold ring terminals made by Stinger. A stereo shop may have it all I got my stuff from Darvex.com. 15 ft of cable, and 4 sets of terminals the subtotal was $84.81 then add the $54.70 for 2 day shipping for a grand total of $139.51 for that.

 

I wanted to find good stuff but no one around here used stinger and that was more of a want than a need.

Here's what's been pooping in my backyard. I put him in the back of the truck and hauled him off to some woods on our property.

    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
