    Is that why my ABS light turns on when locked? :confused: That shit randomly turns on on the highway all the time so I stopped paying attention to it.

    :rofl:

    Haha yeah, when it's lit up solid like when the locker is engaged, it means ABS is disabled. When it blinks every now and then it's supposed to mean it's engaging as far as I know. If I start my truck as soon as the key is in the ignition, my UltraGauge causes it to blink rapidly. If I wait a few seconds it's fine. I can just remove the pin, but I haven't done it yet...:eek:

    There are two fuses. Pull the small one and you should be good to go.

    Today I did a power steering flush with Toyota automatic transmission fluid. This was much needed. The old fluid was brown and smelled terrible. The job wasn't too bad, just hard to not make a mess. I also added a can of sea foam to a fresh new tank of gas! I cleared my p0171 code hoping it would not come back after I replaced some vacuum hoses. It decided to come back about 30 minutes after I cleared it :mad:. This is the worst code ever.

    Pretty much stock with some crap welded to it.
    I need an opinion from you guys, I just ordered these two light as flood lights but I got them and one is a spot light, I was genna return them but then I thought if I use one spot and one flood light then I might get more coverage with using one of each? What do you think should I return it and get both the same or do you think it'll work??image_zps485d810c_523e2f74c1b4997154f7934674533cb3894d04da.jpg

    Yeah there 33's. I think he's preloading the coils with the 5100s because that wheel gap looks too big for 33s and a plate bumper.

    Local dealership. The tool box is a low profile "Better Built SEC" that is much higher quality than what you will find in a big box store, although a little more pricey.

    If you have a truck accessory place nearby that carries Better Built boxes then they can order one.

    Yup. I started with stock coils on the 2.5 setting.

    Then I put the 881s on the 0 setting but it was the same height as before, so I changed it to the middle setting.

    Yea when my sensors where going haywire my code was PO420. Drove around with that dam code for 3 months. Replaced both front and rear. Still threw the code found out it was my CAT conv. going bad. Got a new one also went back to stock exhaust had a stupid aftermarket ricer cherry bomb, and code was gone. Rock auto has the best deals on auto parts that place has save me a shitload of money.

    Yeah, that price can't be beat. That is the higher priced one to boot.

    I've got the some tool box. Love it, but the lid is somehow bent slightly and doesn't like to close all the way on the left side unless I push down hard.
