COOL!
My son has his last football game that Friday night. Will have to see what they have going on Saturday as far as end of season stuff.

Got some much needed cleanup done on my truck this weekend. Removed the stock filter and LP, reran the FASS hose and wires and trimmed accordingly, relocated my high idle box behind the dash and moved the LED and adjuster (POT) to the "A" pillar above my top gauge and put a **** on the adjuster.
Of course now I have to chase down a bad relay since I left the box engaged with my remote start box one of the relays has quite working.
Oh the drama...

Usually, people show up as they can....starting around late afternoon Friday. Bring what you need for sitting/sleeping/clothing/drinking/ snacking. First time at Brian's so don't know how much we'll be roughing it...but plan on the worst. Most of us sleep in the bed of our trucks! Here's the facilities at our usual meeting site (Crotex's Ranch).....


I'm sure there will be a camp fire.

Since it is going to be where it is and the WHO that is hosting, I think it's more like a campFIRE

Sleeping facilities will be up to you guys... THe shop has an attached appt with 3 couches people can claim, for those who Like the bed of their truck there is a covered back porch or the shop itself... If someone wants a real bed My place is bout 15 minutes up the road. Probably have dinner out there one night anyways. If some tree trimming gets done there may be a fire, otherwise hows a propane heater??

Success!!

My remote start now kicks in when the WTS light goes out. It was bugging me that it was waiting 15 seconds to start every time.
Also got my high idle box shrunk down and mounted behind the dash. I can reach the toggle if I need to. I moved the LED and idle speed adjuster to my gauge pod.
Felt good to actually get something done again.

I'll try to make it, but probably just stay for the day and drive back very late at night.

I'd like to finish up the gauges stuff if possible. I still need to get some new bulbs (Dipricol trans temp gauge) and some more FP line tubing. Suggestions again on where to get those? Geno's? I don't see it in the catalog by theirselves?


I am also thinking about ordering a TS-MP8. That should give me some adjustable on the fly pressure and put me over 500. Still trying to make decisions on turbo (s) choices. Trans fund is getting closer.

Yep. Everything works like a charm now. Turns out the issue was with the installtion manual I had. It did not show that feature 12 needs to be set to trigger off of the gray/black wire.
Hats off to Brian for helping me out with this!
