Thanks Mike on the trail stickers.

The directions from Iorn Belt look best to me too. I did call and ask for a shortcut and they said with all the new snow and wind that the roads may not be passible so to use Iorn Belt directions.

I think we have everything we need on our end. Nicole made a big batch of Chilli and has Pork Chops and Bagels and Ham and 18 eggs for Breakfast. They have a full stocked Kitchen with all the pots and pans.

We hope to leave my house by 4:15pm today.

My XLT pulses a little at low speeds, not the engine. I checked with Dave and he said it may be the clutch just grabbin a little. A guy at work said that I may have burnt my belt in one spot and that is what I feel. I will throw on the new belt before I leave and try it.

Mike, do you know how ot adjust Idle on the XLT to lower it?

Sounds good on the directions Lee.

Very possible that you burned the belt a little, or a missing tooth or two(or 10 like Tom's last year).

I do know how to adjust the idle, we'll get you squared away tomorrow, unless you want to adjust it now........

My brother had the same problem. He said the degas bottle has to be low, even at min it seems to puke out fluid. It seems low to him but it never moves from that spot. Finicky I guess.

What does the reflash do Dave? After my brother got everthing done he noticed a couple small spikes in EOT/ECT, but I think it could be air pockets working thier way through the system. I told him to run it more to see.

The reflash depends on when it was last flashed. Mine was on the original flash. Since my truck was built, there were 6 updates to the programing. A reflash is basically loading new software into the PCM and FICM. The most current one fixes a ton of issues with injectors, hard starts, turbo issues, and a lot of other things...

What are you talking about. We are simply talking about trucks that pull the sleds.
