Unfortunately I have to head over to my daughters place, apparently she's having guy trouble, - the dude punched a hole in the wall. So yea, have to go resolve this stupid shi....This won't take long. Geezzz.

I threw a lean code FOREVER for bank 1. Ever since I had my head gaskets done 40k miles ago. Now it isn't throwing a code but according to my livewire it is still lean. Whenever I'm on the throttle it evens out a little but at idle it's usually 1.28 bank 1 and .92 bank 1. My gas mileage is terrible right now, 10mpgs all hwy.

I ran my power wire into the light fuse, yes generic I know but it worked.

yeah I had my fuel going into the cab on the pillar..illegal yes but much easier. On a safety note though, not wise if you ever get hit and the line gets pierced or sliced. I wouldn't do it again. I'm running my diesel to the outside up on the wiper cowl.

I was thinking about running all 3 of my gauges (AFR, electronic FP, & boost) off of a single power feed from the battery through a relay and have it triggered by a switched power source. Similar to [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION] using the lights. But a more consistent signal. Maybe my train of thought is a little overkill. Especially considering that they don't use much amperage at all. Maybe I should keep it KISS.

Still doing it after the exhaust leak was fixed? You still have a leak present. Either exhaust or manifold on the passenger side (bank1). Mine always runs .98 bank 1, .99 bank 2 LTFT. STFT jumps between .96 & 1.01 depending on how much throttle. But it stays consistent.
Just need the weather to warm up for a 4v swap lol
