Appreciate the info. I bought the Mycal and had them dyno tune my car so I'm going to contact them tomorrow. Thanks!

I haven't gotten any further with it. Life has happened. Lol. Taxes and the family stuff got in the way. Still thinking about trying to get one started, just have to find a place and sponser that's willing to do the permits for a group function. Wasn't even thinking about the track, but it might be a cool sunday meet since they run Friday's and Saturdays.

If they are heated and have the integrated signals, I have the regular version of those. Might have to see what we can figure out.

no problem.

lol I hear ya, lift tends to get in the way of fun stuff. I'm finally on a M-F schedule unless I get called out so I'm good for a weekend or evening.

I'm not 100% sure they are heated since they don't have the symbol but I can't imagine them having the puddle and turn signals and not being heated.

Level was installed last night. I'm at 39" in the front and 39 1/4 in the rear floor to fender. Netted me exactly 2" of front lift so I'm happy there. Also got the emblems back on.

Well the dog woke me up at 4am and I couldn't go back to sleep so I got started on detailing the truck. 3 step so far with Meguiar's 105 then 205 then some Collinite 845. Tomorrow I'll top it off with some Pinnacle liquid Souveran wax.

Only got one half way decent before and after. The tuxedo black tends to wash out my halogen lights so you don't get the depth you would from a gloss black.

I have a button in between my fan **** and temperature ****. It's on the left side in the middle where the vent selection button is. I don't have dual climate control, so yours might be different.

Could be, once I swap them out I'll try to dig up a part #.

Your truck has transformed very nicely...great work on that. That grille though...

I'd rattle-can the grille gloss black and see if that makes it a little better. I think the dullness to it is what's killing the look.

I may try that. I found a guy that wants to trade his XLT chrome 6 bar grille but not sure I wanna try that route since I'm looking at $200-250 in paint plus a clear bra to keep it from chipping.

I'd like to do a Raptoid grille but I can't force myself to spend $700 on a grill plus paint.

Couple weekend projects finished this weekend.

Installed the Livernois 91 performance tune. The shifting strategy alone is worth the tune, the extra power is definitely there.



With the tinted aftermarket lights the weak factory reverse bulbs are even worse, pretty much useless except warning other drivers I was in reverse. I put in led replacements just for looks, again useless from the driver's seat. I picked up an 6 led light to help out. I wanted it fairly hidden and not so bright it would wash out the camera.

Bad pics to add to my rambling.


I'll grab some more output pics later.


Random pic reminding me I need bigger tires.

Truck looks great. I just picked up a set of Raptor wheels myself and I'm eager to get them one once I level the truck.

I loved your blue truck and didn't even realize you got rid of it. What was the story there? I really liked the Method wheels on that truck.
