Well, I guess I'll have to go to DAP and buy my own sport headlight conversion since the raffle didn't pan out for me. Congrats @Bar GN

Whoa! I bet that made a heck of a racket when it let loose!

Just checked mine and no rubbing.

I saw that too. I have injectors and quad in my cart but I really should do transmission upgrade first...

I guess I better go check mine. I put the 3rd gen rims with 265/70/17 on about 4 or 5 months ago and never thought to check for clearance issues. So many people put them on I just assumed there wouldn't be issues.

I was just diagnosed with it but I am being treated so it should clear up soon. Its just a little itchy still...

Ok, just wondering if thats the reason why the engine was surging after working on it yesterday when the high idle kicked in. Sorry for high-jacking your thread @Marcus2000monster

I just noticed @IBMobilehas to reset the APPS in his rundown of the procedure, how important is that? I've never done that after reconnecting the batteries after any work on this truck.

Not complaining at all. I enjoy having my little helper out there with me, although he's not so little anymore. He's almost as tall as me now... I agree with you @dripley

I just did this mod today. It was relatively simple. The hardest part was removing all the tape from the wires and getting everything out of the wire loom. I also wasn't able to disconnect the alternator bracket (bolt wouldn't budge) so that made things a little harder. I also had to run to the store a few times because the ring terminals I got were too small because the bolt I needed was an M6x1.0 and I bought an M5x0.8 and the ring terminals for it. I also forgot to get the big ring terminal for the battery side of the ground . I didn't do the charge line from the alternator to the passenger side battery yet, that will be for another day, of course I'll have to fight with the wire looms again but at least I didn't tape it all up yet. When I installed the alternator earlier this summer I got a 0.03VAC reading (if I remember correctly) from the alternator and after doing this mod I get next to nothing for a reading (0.001VAC). When I started the truck it ran for a little bit then the High Idle kicked in and then the truck started surging. I though "great, WTF did I do" but then I remembered I cracked the fuel line at the VP to rotate a 90 degree connection up so the fuel line didn't go right across the power steering pump cap and it was probably just running the air out. As soon as I realized what was happening it went away and idled normally. Whew!!! Took it for a quick drive around the block and everything works great. Hmm, I wonder whats the next fix for this truck... Injectors and Quad??? I forgot to add my 13yr old son was home from school so he was out in the garage with me "helping" so that adds a little extra time to the job too.

When I did it I followed the PDF and it didn't work. I then watched the video and did as he did in the video (there are some differences between the 2) and it worked. I would suggest as Me instructed and watch the video and follow along with it. I had the video play on my tablet while I did what he instructed on my PC. Worked like a charm!

My truck "Big Blue".

I bought 2 8 oz and 1 16 oz containers of the walmart 2-stroke oil. I also bought a gallon jug of it. If I fill up at 1/4 tank then I put in an 8 oz. If I fill up at half then I put in the 16 oz. If I fill up 3/4 then I put in an 8 oz and 16 oz. If I run it empty then all of them go in. Then i refill them from the gallon jug and keep them in the drivers side door pocket.

Thanks @Me78569for your How-To video. I followed it and I was able to connect to my XZT+ and update the tunes without issue on my Windows 10 machine.

Happy New Year to you all. On my way to the Oregon coast to do some whale watching. I told my wife we don't have to drive that far, that we could just go to the local Walmart... she didn't find that as funny as I did.

Thanks for the welcome and Happy New Year's!
