I know. I've done this years ago and ezven created a thread about it here.

The issue was I lost the Cruise Control and it is very useful to me so I'd rather have incandescent bulbs at the back AND CC ranther than just LED bulbs. ^^
Well, with this, my cruise works just fine. That’s what I was trying to say.

The window trim. Specifically the rear windows. And tailgate / hatch window trim. (I would like to replace the rear with a trim-free version ASAP, but for now I have the trimmed glass.
Also, tbh, I’m using either the Chemical Guys VHT, or the Chemical Guys TVD tire and trim gel.

It seems like it doesn’t really soak in, or change the trim at all. It’s just a layer over the top that’s pretty easily wiped off.

Other than painting the trim I’m not sure what would work better. I just want it black, to match the windows and Esky appliqués! [emoji16][emoji106]

I assumed you meant those. I use polish on those parts , they’re like a super hard rubber that’s not porous but holds onto wax really well and shine up so good they almost blend with the glass.

Yellow I use rubber dressing, blue I use polish and wax. Just try it out. No taping required. While everyone tapes these areas off I don’t when I polish/wax the truck. I swear by it and so far they’ve stayed glossy and great shape, no cracking or fading.

screenshot of a Richard holdener video, I don’t remember the engine/ setup, but cam is the only difference between runs. Guessing this is on a 5.3

I love his videos and nice find that's an awesome comparison. In a 4.8 I bet the power gains would be even a little more drastic.

Well, I thought my fuel pump just died as the truck started to run rough at a light on my way to work then as I accelerated it died and will not start. Towed it to a buddies business nearby and checked fuel pressure at the rail. It has pressure! When pressing the valve on the fuel rain and turning the engine over fuel sprays out like a fire hose so I don't think that's the issue. My next thought is the Crank sensor? Had 60psi of oil pressure and the motor never sounded bad so I don't think anything is hurt. It almost wants to start when cranking but never does fire off. I got a bad out of the box crank sensor when I built the 6.0 in my Silverado and it took me forever to realize that's why it didn't start.

What do you guys think?

Edit: New info

Tachometer, IAT, ECT, and MAP are all readying correctly.

Timing is showing 10* steady during cranking (Not sure what startup timing is supposed to be)

The exhaust smells of gas but the engine sounds like timing is off.

Still no codes

I'm thinking Cam sensor

if fuel and air are ok then it must be spark.
