I did that once..... prevented me from walking for a couple months. That REALLY sucked....... Doc said "surgery", I said "physical therapy". I won. No surgery for me, and I can walk......

Got the truck inspected - got a partial sticker. Passed safety, but not emissions, since 2 sensors weren't "ready".

Then, I'm pretty sure my plenum gave up its will to live, on the ride home!

After much unwanted attention on the road in the past 2 days. I decided to buy some new HID fog lights. My old fog lights started strobing people because of a bad bulb. And of course people pulled over left and right. Not sure I would pull over for someone who is storbing fog lights at me. Anyways got some new fog lights that are not made from china. It has resistors for failing fog bulbs to reduce chance of strobe. Goes great with my (non-bright) Dodge headlights. I can finally see the road again.
