    Low Tire Warning Light with new rims!why?

    The TPMS light should not effect inspection. It's not a safety problem and not emissions related. So your fine there. Only way to get that light off is install the sensors into your new rims. Did you truck come with the band type or valve stem style sensors? If they are the band type no need...

    We're shopping for a new car as well

    You don't buy a hybrid to save on gas cost. Because you won't! You buy one to be more friendly to mother nature. Going green they call it :lmao There are a few different types of hybrids and the Lexus is what they call a "power hybrid". And you'll gain 2-3 mpg over your standard model with...

    Heater control question

    Cool thanks. I check when the ac was cycling, def and floor/dash ac does cycle but on floor or dash it doesn't. It's been some time since I used the heat in the truck and when I had it on dash/floor thats when I heard it cycle. So thanks again for clearing this up for me.

    Heater control question

    I've been noticing that what ever I have my vent control set to, the AC compressor is cycling. But other then that the set control is working from floor, vents, floor/vents etc. Has anybody had this happen to them?

    Block heater?

    I just went out and found mine. It was located right behind the Right (passenger side) fog light. At what temp. should I start plugging in in over night? And my truck was purchased in Florida so I really didn't think it had one.

    EGR removing?

    Same here, I unplugged mine and no CEL on my 03'. Might of thrown a soft code but that won't trigger a CEL. Haven't scanned it to see if it did yet.

    Cat delete

    I had 3.5" dia. pipe laying in the garage so I just deleted the cat and the muffler. My neighbor said it sounds like a jet engine. Is it normal to hear the turbo during idleing. Sounds like a turbine engine.

    500ppm in my 6.0?

    Figured I would ask so the 15ppm, (ULSD) at the pumps is maked with a green fuel pump handle correct? 50% of the time the pump is missing the sticker to say which fuel it is 15 or 500 ppm. Then when I go inside to ask, they have to clue. :cussing:

    Aftermarket intake or not?

    From what I have read and been told is that 6.0 motors have a good enough flowing air filter. And that it works better then other oem filters. I'm willing to spend the money if I can find one just as good as the stock unit but flows more cfm's (less restrictive then stock). Just looking toward...

    Using heating oil as fuel for the truck, damage?
