    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    I added a single Magnaflow 3" cat after the Y pipe after blowing out the aFe cats in the twisted steel headers. I need something as I have dawgs under the topper often. It is still smelly but much better.

    Alright! Just got my 250A alternator in all brand new nice and shiny and immediately pulled the pulley for it to check and see if my NST one would work on it. Sure enough it was a 1/1 swap out and the billet pulley weighs CONSIDERABLY less than the old one. Install goes down tomorrow. I can't wait to reclaim my charging system once again, spin a little faster, and not be afraid to use power on the truck for charging things, running lights, etc. while the truck is off.

    Remember, as much as 2% rich on the driver side is normal. It's the PCMs primary fueling strategy programming for keeping the driver side cool since the blower rests over and produces more heat. Don't panic over uneven fuel trims between banks. We don't have normal setups.

    Yes. I don’t want to tell anymore until it’s running. The delays and setbacks are ridiculous.

    What are your nominal fuel trims as a whole on both banks?

    Anything over 5.5% is not normal and will definitely need addressing. If it is the plugs then alls well that ends well. :thumbsup:

    If it's not then looks like we have some troubleshooting/ diagnosing to do.
