Thx guys .you've got to see the looks I get from some people at lights and people who are walking! Lol, especially old people. Sometimes people ask my gf, complaining, why is it so loud? Sometimes people give me a dirty look when I'm stopped at a light. F$&% them! That's what I say.

Oh yeah, little dogs hate it, I scare small children and geese! F$#@ 'em! The best thing tho: gf can't sneak up on me!!

I finally put those fake plumbing /center caps on my rims. If you didn't know, you wouldn't look twice. I used silicone, so hopefully it'll stand up to centrifical forces and heat with no problems. If I miss 1 or 2, I bought spares.

I also fixed some peeling issues with the dip on a few rims. I used a new razor blade and cut out the peeling dip, instead of peeling it all off. After that I just resprayed the dip. Good enough. Sorry, no pics on that.
I also ordered some led high beams.

Wireless obd scanner. It'll let me see what's going on much better.

And I ordered the tps replacement pigtail. I'm hoping this is what's causing my reduced engine power issue. It's really random, but still annoying and I don't want it to become a dangerous issue.

I didn't know you were having that problem, that sucks. I hope you get it figured out. Nice job on the wheels, that looks way better!

Thx Red. I wiggled the he'll out of that yellow wire that you mentioned in another post, but nothing happened. I couldn't get it to go in limp mode. I figured I'd might as well just get it.

What LEDs did you get?

I'm thinking about getting a set for my projectors to try out, but I want a set that are rated for at least the same lumens as the 9011 HIRs I have in there.

When you get them I would be interested in seeing the beam pattern in comparison to the stock.

I'll def take a pic once they're in. I don't have the stockers in there now tho.

Here's a pic I grabbed from Amazon. It says they're 12,000 lumes?

It may not go into Limp Mode if the fault happens while the truck's not moving. If you can see a real-time display of what the sensors are telling the PCM, that'd be the way to track it down. Even a scan tool with freeze frame capability should help if a code is set when it happens. It'd be awesome if that Bluetooth one can do real-time so you can watch your phone as you mess around under the hood.

That would be awesome! I'm just gonna wire in the pigtail either way. It happened to me twice today within minutes and it happened to my gf 3 times.

Lol, maybe. It still sounds insane to me. I still love it, especially in a tunnel or under a bridge.
