Sounds like you have a coil going out. With the way it's sounding, other then the scratch of the coil, it should sound fine. You might have to mess with the box some to get it to sound good again.


I wire loomed all the lights that are running under the truck. it's time comsuming but well worth it if someone wants to take a peak under hood

Well tonight would be the night I show you the Neons, Strobes and other accent lighting I did tonight but, somehow I broke the screen on the camera So imagine a pretty black truck with a nice blue glow under it with some bright flashes at the corners. I also added a vinyl to the back plexi, but it wasn't chrome like I thought, more like chrome tint. you could see through it. So when I scrape off the sticker, I'll do it in blue tomorrow

Have a few videos tonight, Not what you all expecting but at least it show I have been busy working on the truck.

No bumpin videos yet. I'll save that for when the truck is done.

Here's the 1st one. More bling then anything.



The next is hard to see but it is my new Voltage / Amp temp / AC voltage gauge. Very trick little unit. Now I can see where my voltage is and how my amp is running and even an idea of my amps output.

Thats how I roll Actually mama ordered them. It was on her must have list. adding them to the Alarm remote was all me.

I was looking to switch out 2 of the clear bulbs in front to blue but, I haven't found a price that I'm willing to pay for them yet.

I'm sure I wouldn't get a block down the road with them on as it is let alone with blue.

Places wanted 60 bucks each for the lights when the others are 25. I think it looks good the way it is for those prices.
