Weekend plans for your PSD?

My weekend starts tomorrow so I'm gearing up already

1. Finish installing exhaust
2. Try to clean EBPS and tube
3. Grease slip yoke
4. Get rear rotors turned
5. Install gauges if my paint shows up
6. Swap out ABS couplers for exhaust tubing in my intake
7. Modify stock battery tray/airbox bottom to end up with only a battery tray
8. Drink beer (a necessary component for all of the above steps- in moderation of course- working on this one currently )

I plan on skipping to #8 after I do a little more cleaning on the engine to find an oil leak I may or may not have.

My main goal for the weekend is to get new tune I just got from DP off my computer, on to the programmer and into the truck. I am afraid that somehow I will mess it up by not knowing exactly how to do this. After that is done the truck will get a bath and maybe some wax before i go test the new tune out!

If for some unknown reason you get stuck just ask and I'm sure you'll find help. It even seems like the only problems I remember reading about related to DP were always answered on here by Diane (from DP).

If you have any concerns about the washing & wax feel free to come over and practice on my truck first.

Be sure to let us know how you like the new tunes.

Thanks Scott, that is basically all my truck is. Hubby uses his to 4by and when we grow up, lol, we want to get toys to pull with mine.

Chris- I am okay with the washing part, just alittle hard when you are only 5 foot nothing and cant even see in the bed without having shoes on. Diane has been great on here answering my questions! I think I will attemp to do tune exchange in a bit when hubby wakes up.
