    Np.. These were only tested on 05-11's so it may or may not work on your truck. :notsure: If the ECU is different, then the HEX codes may not pick up at all. There also may not be sensors for it to read. Give it a shot and let me know.

    Also doesn't work on manual trans for some reason on any year.

    We can reinstall windows, add some ram. That should hold you over for a bit.

    The app mode is dumb in windows 8. All of windows 8 is dumb.. Work gave me this thing and really said "It drives me nuts you can keep the fucking pile of shit".

    I said "it can't be that bad can it?"

    I had no clue how bad this surface tablet really was until now.

    Sweet. Sounds good to me. Ill crack it open and see what ram it takes. Ill bring it over soon so you can see how bad it is. Right from startup. Oh.. and the battery is toast and only works when plugged in. Need help finding a battery for it. We can order one.

    "Add to cart!" :rofl:

    Hmm, I'm a student and want to put Windows 7 on my Mac, would I get the DVD from the school or Microsoft?
    I'll try it and let you know

    Typically I would check with your school first and see what deals they can get if any. My wife is a student at Apollo (Univ of Phx online) and she paid 45$ for windows 7 basic, which you can hack into pro if you want very easy with a few reg key changes.

    I think she got it as an employee. Send her an email and she'll link you to the site. Since its back to school season I'm sure they got discounts going around now.

    You should go have lunch together while you are training over there.

    Ok, I'll email the school, but it looks like I can only get w8, so i might just get w7 from newegg (if the school can't get me 7)

    The original version, they released the entire cnc pack on origin (got it for like $20 on digital). As much as I despise Origin.... RA2 is worth it lol.

    Damn I haven't even thought about that game since college. I think I played that in like 2001-2002ish.

    Kicking it old school man! You are a real geek. :thumbsup:
