Happy cold Thursday mornin'all. The weather here won't smarten up till next Tuesday. MPI told dawn this am, that there's $35,000 damage to her Explorer. OUCH!. It's seems a little inflated to me. They still haven't decided what to offer us. Have a great day guy's.

Got my Gryphon in the mail last night. Now to disable the 6gun and reflash the FICM.
Will probably update my ECM to a newer strategy as well. Have that "post buzz" flash in the truck right now and it doesn't do anything for our weather and cold starts Grrrr. Going to be workin in the cold this mornin. Brrrrrr
Curtis, let us know what you think of those PHP tunes. Maybe in the spring/summer time we'll have to put them to the test agains my 6.7

My wife got T-Boned last Wednesday during the storm, and wrote off our 2006 Explorer. she's on crutches with a torn legiment in her left foot. We are very lucky.

Good afternoon folks.

I should but I don`t.
A friend of mine was doing it and I hope he picks up my used oil by spring otherwise I`ll have to haul to the recycler.

The part that burns my butt the most is that it`s likely Canadian fuel or made from Canadian oil.

Evening Clint, Randy, Morris, Gigger and Grant

Fantastic day today. Warmed up ok. Ended up being anxious and working outside in my PJs, runners and fall jacket. After figuring out the freaggin FICM relay I finally got the PHP tune programmed in the eX.
Definately shocked the system. My stereo was buzzing, heat was going in and out of auto mode, command start had to be reset. WIERD
AFter a few mins and a Torqshift relearn WOW is all I can say. Having an issue with the blinking Tow/Haul light and a few codes to deal with but I can tell you it's a different beast allready. Nicest part is i'm able to monitor somer PID's. Def need an alternator and thermostate!!

After that, kids Xmas concert, Another relearn trip to the city (still having shifting issues) and back to the evening concert.

All and all, what a great day today. 2 cutest kids in the concert I might add Bias....yes, but that's ok.

Sounds like you got some issues to workout lol, now you just need to update your sig.

Speaking of signatures, do I need a certain amount of posts before I can make one or I can't seem to find where to make one??
