Dude, you are making me laugh and I really don't want to laugh at you, but damn! I told you it was going to be something simple. Frustration will make any problem look huge when it's usually right in front of your nose. Thanks for letting us know and enjoy you new power.

Didn't start the truck yet cause I wanna go play and I had to tell mama I'm going to the shop to wash it. Which I will, but first we'll get it a little dirty.

Anyways thanks again, guys. Now it's playtime.
No Pete,you're not stupid,you just had a little problem with something you had never done before. At least you had everyone here to help you figure it out,and now you get to experience what we have all been raving about!!! Enjoy!!

Glad it was something simple and easy brother!

So I've now got my passenger side lower mirror (towing mirrors) adjusted to see the smoke pouring out of my truck.

Oops. I mean....... As an environmentally conscious individual I would NEVER roll coal in my truck.


Gotta say I love the sensitivity of the throttle now. I popped it into stock to come up my street just to make dang sure I wouldn't blow any smoke and it felt like I had to put my foot to the floor to make the truck move.

And I probably burnt 1/8 tank of fuel and took 1,000 miles off my tires, but for some reason I just can't stop smiling.

And it's ok, Barry. You're not the first person to laugh at me for being stupid.

Brother, I'm not laughing at you for being stupid, I've done way dumber things than that before and I don't consider myself stupid. It's just fun to see someone else missing the obvious once in a while. Besides, I'm laughing with you, not at you. You are still welcome to work on my truck anytime you want.

Ain't that the truth. Just how much can you spread them out? That's some funny stuff and I want to rep him for the chuckle I got.
