Does your brake fluid still turn purple ? Your truck doesn't seem to like color coordination in the maintenance department.

It was green, and no, that's been resolved. Two full flushes fixed it.

Yes... and it has been overcast all day. I keep thinking that as soon as I get it in the sun, I'll find more $4!t, lol. However, clay bar action is going down on the 89 if it's OK outside. It's raining like a **** right now.

Wet sanding is hard work but there's nothing else that can make a car look as great as it does.

I also finally put the trim back on the back window. On a GT you have to remove the wing or it's not going in.... and I finally decided to tackle that, lol.

So I'm getting EGR and DPFE codes suddenly on the truck. It runs fine, the egr, dpfe sensor and the egr tube are all new and everything is hooked up right. Checked for exhaust leaks and found none...

Only thing I can think is maybe I damaged the dpfe by hooking the lines up too soon to the egr tube when I used a torch to bend it a little to fit onto the valve.

Duhhh.....which codes

Try posting in the general forum, it's good to share a little more detail about the model year and engine as well.
