    yup got over there last year when we were looking at NH as a possible landing spot.

    we'll be doing a lot of exploring throughout vt, nh, me, and Quebec. it'll be different but I have hopes that we'll find some great trips.

    gotta start finding routes and locations for an east coast rock therapy :cool:

    thanks man...we'll be working hard to find some great areas to explore up there, so whenever you want to head north, we'll hopefully have some nice routes planned...

    may not have the open lands like UT to easily link together a multi-day adventure, but we'll find a way damnit!

    i just remember being a little jelly that your little truck made it up :laugh:

    the guy in the 1st gen 4R was surprised at how bad that obstacles has gotten over the last few years...he ran it open/open a few years back no problem...not so much now...

    so this was fun..... :bananadead:

    cruising down the highway coming back from a client's when i hear an odd hissing sound that fluctuates depending on my throttle....hmmm weird

    so i cut off 36 to 25 south when i get a pending code p0441 pop up...hmmm that's not a normal pending code i'm used to seeing....

    WTF IS MY FUEL TRIM DOING AT 30+?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!!!!


    alright, calm down, let's get off the highway and check this shit out....

    well that's not good
    77F29DCE-C51A-413F-BE80-C5177D54159E_zps_84ea90a7d455c5f27098cbd93d5b89e9b8ef30ea.jpg

    for reference, it's the vacuum hose coming from the vacuum switching valve
    F1853EA3-5263-4E24-BC53-AF1215836FA6_zps_e4267e7321f5c564537faf6f45121bce823d1bf4.jpg

    so for a temporary fix, i cut the hose back past the split and zip tied it onto the nipple....didn't quite solve the issue, still had high trim
    EB03F111-8F24-4FFE-9587-4DAEFE732997_zps_ec0f223a31f089e95be4978d77975de9de64150d.jpg

    so i limped over to the closest o'reilly's to grab some repair items...
    9369BB4F-8597-4827-9257-BBE8F56EB814_zps_b8a16a166aa648aba4f84fab233b1072d2a6dae2.jpg

    did a little fix
    C734716E-31FB-4F97-B243-57B6A30019DE_zps_20be06e7f9a4ba5da53bf40e6e164649090f3ae9.jpg

    and back to "normal"
    0984E1AD-3A17-4FE3-942F-D522ACF3C879_zps_40f460a97598536670e8d988c6a6f05471498f2f.jpg


    got a new hose coming to get that connection back to spec, but trims are back to "normal"

    and on that note...if you don't have an ultra gauge or similar device or app yet...GET ONE NOW!

    having one in this instance was a life saver

    Damn, well quick thinking. I have an old Nexus 5 I plan to flash and run torque with a BT OBDII adapter.
    I don't have an SC, but I'd like to see temps and MPGs
