    Me too! Lubed the shafts and cleaned the K&N after installing the one sitting on the shelf. The used one is all cleaned and oiled and waiting for the next time!

    I probably will gain about 5 mpgs and another 30 horses or so:D:thumbsup::woot:

    Yeah, sure, but I will be cleaning the MAF and TB today, just didn't have the spray yesterday!:(

    I also took the tailgate apart. The latches were hanging up and not latching. The handle was hanging up also. Cleaned and lubed all of it and it is working like new!

    Did a few of the super easy mods today.

    Seat Belt Beep. Turning that off is a must!

    Unlock/lock "Chirp" is now off too. Wish I could toggle the Horn on and off....

    Anytime Fog lights. This is a elegant easy mod, I like being able to run fog lights only. Where I park my lights shine right into someones bedroom window. Poor guy, that is why I am trying to get the lock unlock as quite as I can.

    Next mods are AVID Step Bars and WeatherTech Floor mats, going to order them Monday and maybe a AVID front light bar too.

    Still searching on how to stop the beeping while the key is in ignition and a door is open, along with the horn honking during lock/unlock.

    No, it won't. It is a sealed system ( unless it has a leak ). It doesn't just disappear.

    You guys are lucky. Mine does a light honk twice when it unlocks and once when it locks. I wish it could be toggled on an off with a series of ignition moves like the beep.

    The beep while door is open is super annoying too!
