    Had a KDmax 9 tune. Not a happy camper. Wanted OTT but no tuners close. Bought the VF Tuner and files from OTT. It was a processes (it helped I found a $500 open box laptop at Best Buy of $190), but they were very helpful and I have a new truck. Can't recommend this enough.

    Anyone have the Anytime Camera mod and have the REAR camera start flickering sometimes in use? I haven't trouble shot anything yet but it's a brand new issue from today.

    Also has anyone ever had their rear camera flicker and cut out at all? Front camera works fine. I'm thinking loose connection somewhere.

    Occasionally yes. A hand smack under the dash where the wires are fixes it.

    I'm an idiot and I accidentally cut the harness, installing my Lightbar setup. Trail Grid Pro was fuckin awesome and they sent out that section of the harness for me. I'm assuming I didn't have something tight enough when I fixed it and being off-road today jostled it.

    Same for you though, just the rear cam but the front was fine?

    The rear cam is the only one that randomly flickers. Unrelated, the front camera will stop working when it gets too hot out, but as soon as it cools off it's fine.

    This and that
    My ‘84 gti, headlights on, nothing happens just the high beam indicator on the dash. Smack the top on the dash, gtg. Eventually it became, reaching up past the pedals and pushing the plug back into place behind the speedo. That was quite a compromising position.

    I'll have to run down the wiring while it's on and toggled and see if I can find the connection issue. Thanks for the info. I'll report back.

    My NextBase 522GW lost the internal battery about 2 years ago but does not stop working in PHX heat. The mounting tape softens too much in heat so I need to remove the unit from the base (magnetic connection to a permanent mount) for the next couple of months else the mounting tape pulls off in summer. I think I might replace it with a new GW622 for Advanced Parking Mode and with a new internal battery.

    I installed aFe Power 77-92014-MC SCORCHER Ignition Coils, and NGK 90216 Iridium IX Sparkplugs in my Tacoma. Photos with coils installed. Everybody knows, the driver’s of cylinder head is hardest. Engine idle seems little smoother.:D

    Getting ready to start the rebuild on my truck, everything I touch will be getting replaced with new. Been collecting parts for about two years.

    New OEM drums painted. 3 coats primer, 4 coats paint, 4 coats clear. All VHT high temp aerosol. Used this on my stock drums with very good results.
