YIKES that is way high. Down here it is like a 7% tax. Yea that's no joke of them being expensive. But if you take a second to step back and look at what our trucks cost brand new and go and look at a brand new one with the same bells and whistles as your current one it costs more than yours brand new. So unfortunately everything is just getting expensive.

That's my problem can't make up my mind if i want that programmer or if I want the Livewire TS. Which I really like but some say its not worth it because the screen is too touchy and it has some parameters missing that we need for our trucks or something other. Decisions decisions decisions.

Welcome Comrad to FTE!!!! :O how come i never thought of this!!! I wouldn't see why not. You'd just have to get the whole rear door..... that i think would be the quickest way to do it. But I'm sure Grant will point you in the right direction.
