Which windows? What percent? Details man, Details......
Driver and passenger front doors, NYS came out with a new law in jan of this year
.....New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows to block more than 30 percent of the light coming into a vehicle, meaning that 70 percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window. This law also applies to the rear window unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides that provide the driver with a full and clear view behind the vehicle. Rear side windows must also allow at least 70 percent of light from the outside to pass through the window if the vehicle is classified as a station wagon, sedan, hardtop, coupe, hatchback or convertible. A vehicle falls into one of these categories if it is labeled “Passenger Car” on the Federal ID label found on the left front door panel. But if the label says MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), truck, bus, etc., then the vehicle’s side windows to the rear of the driver’s seat are exempt from widow tint inspection.......
Plus i can get a fine if pulled over for $150

Wow, the laws suck. In Texas, the front doors can't be more than 30% tinted. Nothing on the windshield, but everything past the front doors can be as dark as you want with dual side mirrors.

So i feel like the 'hoe is hesitating a lot more than usual and just stumbling off the line more, especially since ive been back from our 3000 mile Florida road trip and even with the range afm device. i quick pulled the k&n intake tube off and it's a little dirty and seems a little oily inside but the maf looks clean. There is definitely oil in the pcv tube from passenger side to intake tube and the throttle body is all gummed up so off to buy some tb and maf cleaner and i prob should install that catch can i just bought......:nono:
Not sure if im gonna pull the tb or just clean it on the truck... heres some pics for those that complain all the time......:D

You have a dry or oiled filter? Be sure the MAF wires are clean. Yours should be easy to clean since it's the stick-style MAF.
