Those wheels sure would look good with your truck lowered just a tad bit. Plus, plasti-dip is good for another 5 h.p. Can't go wrong either way.

Ya come winter I will have lots more down time and will scrub and sand them really good and run them all polished up but for now the Plasti Dip looks good and took me half the time to get them done.


I won't be doing the exhaust for a while now so it would just sit here. I will pass for now but I appreciate the offer.

Well all I have to say is **** Chevron. Been data logging and "SLOWLY" playing with the spark tables and nothing changed from yesterday to today except for filling up at Chevron. Yesterday I had zero knock retard in any of my multiple scans and today after fueling up I am getting knock all over the place. Guess I will have to take her easy and burn through the hundred bucks I just pumped into my tank.

Guess I will stick with Shell from now on

No E85 stations up here and not sure if there is even any talk about putting one in. I would just be thrilled to get 93 from a pump....best I can get is 90

Do you have any pics of how you ran your wideband wires or what wires you tapped into? I'm doing my wideband install with the same pod as you this weekend.

Ya. I ran the wires going to the Wideband through a rubber grommet that is under the carpet (see pics below).





All the wires going up to the gauge I ran through the stock housing between the door jams. (see pics below)




And the main power wire I actually have running all 3 of my gauges goes through the rubber grommet that is near the steering shaft that goes through the firewall. I will tell you now it's a PITA to get to, the rubber is a bitch to poke a hole through but it can be done.

For the power you want a source that stays hot and doesn't cut off when cranking the motor so I used an "add a fuse" to tap into the #43 fuse which is labeled Misc Ignition.
(See pic below)



Hope that helps. I keep meaning to go back and solder all my connections and heat wrap them but I always end up forgetting. I guess till it stops working you never think about it LOL
