    Tell me about it. I grew up with Shepherd dogs and my wife said she wanted an Italian Greyhound. Not knowing what one was I agreed thinking they were fancy ass Greyhounds. Nope. lol Our female was 15lbs and our male is just shy of 20lbs but these have been the best dogs I've ever had. SO much more personality than the big dogs I had and they made a believer out of me for sure.

    Having trouble with my transmission jumping. I just reset my ECU when I disconnected it. This has happened before, but it worked itself out pretty quick. Im going to flush it then see how it is from there. Its hard to notice, but at the beginning, the needle is constantly jumping: you can kinda hear it too.

    I don't think that's the trans... you're not moving and at idle.

    It's normal for the ECU to take a while to "find" the proper idle after being reset.
    My wife's Rav4 will barely even run after replacing the battery... need to keep a foot on the gas for the first half hour or so or it'll stall.


    Seriously... what is it with people feeling the need to "reset" the ECU?
    The only time any of my ECUs have been reset is when the battery was changed. Never once in the 20+ years that cars have had ECUs have I needed to intentionally reset one.

    Thank you for the reply, this is very helpful.
    I am going to flush my trans soon just because its about time, and I have already gotten my rear seal fixed because of dirt ruining it, so the trans probably needs it too.

    I am in no means for purposely resetting the ECU. It is unnecessary, and I know my truck would act up. I only disconnected the battery to Safely do some wiring.

    Gotcha... Just getting it out there because it seems we're always seeing threads talking about resetting the ECU as if it's going to fix something.
    It might temporarily clear a CEL, or if the issue that caused the CEL was already corrected, it might clear a CEL that would have cleared itself in a couple of days anyways.

    New intake or exhaust? Ya... that's a legitimate reason to reset it to "reboot" the relearn process.

    Exactly. I would only think to reset the ECU after a Supercharger/Turbo install. Thats a good reason, exhaust is also a good idea for the system to cope with the new pressure and avoid blowing a gasket: I seen this occur before.
    But not me:D

    I think white would pop out a lot... Unless you have some red anywhere else that may look outta place. But that's just personal preference. GL!

    UPDATE:

    Sum bitch. Passenger side works great. Driver side STILL fuckin gets moisture in there.

    I resealed the hell out of it a 2nd time too.

    Only thing I can think of (ANYONES .02 cents PLEASE) is when i put the side marker bulb in, I'm not sure it is making a perfect seat in there. Could moisture get in that way???? You can tell that's where the fogging starts.

    Other than that, I'm selling them for someone to fuck with , or drop kicking the shit out of them.

    Derped the chrome grill. Looks 1000x better than the chrome, and I did a god awful job. Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll be color matching the grille with real paint, and doing the satoshi at the same time. I can't live with chrome any longer!

    Them seem to seal good. It's the only thing I can think of. The corner marker light on passenger side goes in nice. Driver side (one still fogging) seems to not go in quite as smooth. Guess I could put gum or some sgit around it and drive in the rain and see if that helps. If so then i could use some kind of putty when I put the side marker light in.
