That so far is the single best mod I have done, I have it on the "acuated by brake light" mode all the time, use it in town and hwy, works pretty slick for how cheap it is :D
Thats what makes me nervous pulling people out of the ditch at random, I tell them ahead of time (wouldnt do any good anyways) that YOU hook it up and if somthing breaks on your rig its not my fault.
I second multifunction lever, sometimes when I hit my blinker left/right with my headlights on it will kill the lights for a split second, think its all the dirt and chit in there I would imagine.
My roomate drives an 04 cummin(g)s :doh: and I get the same chit day in and day out, there will allways be somebody who will talk chit about your rig no matter what you drive, welcome to the real world just gotta sit back and think up Chevy jokes -popcorn :D
Def. get you a sawzall, cut the old downpipe off about 3-4 inches off the turbo and one more cut on the bottom and it should come right out, thats what I did.:)
I had to pull a couple bolts off of the inner fender to give it enough space to pull the PCM, its really not that big of a deal, though I dont know if having the running boards there would mess things up? Just try to go in from behind the ebrake assembly
There are plenty of DIY directions out there to do it, I did it so anyone can :D Patrick is the man to talk to though, I have a few pics in my truck webshots of a few components, just set it up in your garage and throw it into your truck :sweet
I dont know if its the same on the D60's but on my rig with the 50 I have a yellow sticker on the backside of the axle upside down that says "D50" and gives the gearing "4:10" and says a few other things
Your truck has a ZF6 if its a manual, as for a shift knob, been around these forums for a while and never heard of anyone putting aftermarket knobs on, I think its just a ricer thing :D
