I had that moment tonight. The young kid I had stay here had the city police, state troopers, sheriffs, everyone up here for hours... lil troll had locked and loaded AK47 in his room with enough ammo to wipe out my town. I sat there staring at the room bullets for days loaded clip in wardrobe and cops with gun in hand. Just frikken insane. Then to top it off some of the workers I have staying here told the kid I, me, Melissa, proprietor extraordinaire, Moose of all mooses...turned him in and I searched his room and ratted him out. WTH is that? So now my butt is target. I have tried to be nice I have tried to help people well I realized I cannot do this anymore. I am done here. I have always said that when I was supposed to walk away I would know. Well my time has come. I cannot live with the "always wondering" I have puked tonight more than when I had the flu two years ago, Tonight in the midst of everything I cried more tears of ever flavor inc fear, sadness, frustration you name it. I looked this kid just 18 years old in the eye and asked Why? All I got was an I'm sorry. Well the mom in me came out first. No yelling no cussing just Why? Then i for reasons unknown hugged and held "Jared" as he stood cuffed. I didn't know what else to do. I just felt like he needed it. As I walked away I turned and told him thank you for helping make my decision.
I will go clean the room which is upside down. I will not sleep for a few days or night for that matter. I am going to be looking over my shoulder jumping at every sound like i am right now. Ash said "Mom do you ever think bad people often come here to your motel out of a divine intervention of sorts because you stand up for things and they may have hurt someone had they gone somewhere else?" I told I learned never to rule everything out but ya know with all that has happened here in my short time I think my numbers about up. I cant keep dodging the bullet...no pun intended. Just a strange life especially in such a small town. Texas is looking perty damn good about now.
Just needed to get all that out. Thanks you for your ears. ......Melissa

BTW Jim thank you from bottom of my heart for text .....Meeeeeeooooowwwwww!
Melissa, you know how I feel about you darling.
You are such an awesome lady!
I love you as a friend, and we had such a great chat on the phone the other day to.
You know your life is changing right now, and some things are going so well for you.
Maybe this is Gods way of telling you to head towards the good M.

I cannot even imagine the hell yo went thru today with all this, and the stress you are under.

Maybe its time to look into starting a new life with some high voltage guy.

If you ever need to chat, I am just a phone call away.

I hope you can find some peace, and get some sleep my friend.

Love ya,

Marty

how about an explanation of the parts needed and an install process Jim??
Well I believe Jim and Chris explained it. I was in 80E powering up a hill when it happened. It defueled and kept me at about 60 mph until the boost dropped and then everything returned to normal. Wasn't extended pressure just a quick spike. Apparently enough to trip the PCM.

HMmmmMmmmm....Interesting. That Clay, what a cool fella.

I'll take some pics and let you guys know. Basically you take an air regulator and preset it at 22 psi and put it in line with the map sensor this prevents the map from seeing anyting over 22 psi thus preventing the truck from defueling.
What he said. Thanks Jim.

Mine will chirp going into 3rd in 80E and 120. I can squeal the tires all dang day long on a start. In fact next week I might just smoke the tires, seein as how I am getting some new ones. Or would that be irresponsible of me?

Glad you made it safe and sound! Can't have anything happening to my girlfriend!

I think if you don't smoke 'em just once on the old tires that would be irresponsible of you. lol. You need to get it out of your system before the new ones go on, I would hate for you to be temped to do with new ones.
