Unhappy wouldn't you know it

My truck came without the fast idle cam rod, bought the kit with a new rod from green sales co, installed it, adjusted the fast idle cam. Went out this afternoon to install an MSD Blaster II coil, fire the truck up and it just dies again, get out and look into it, the screw that hold the little L bracket that the fast idle rod hooks into backed out and is lost to the pages of history forever. It never fails.

I know dude. I just installed some really sweet Hella fog lights on my truck. But when my head lights are on and i switch the fog lights on it kills my truck. Engine shuts off and everything. I have no idea why.

Tonight I was the DD, driving my friend home. It got super foggy so i switched my head lights off and turned the Hella's on. They saved my life. I rolled up on a 3 car pile up that i wouldn't have seen with normal white head lights.
