Default She Runs!!!!!!

Somehow all of the ignition wires and all of the spark plug wires and spark plugs had gotten fried, they did a full system flush on the truck, I think soon I will be buying new injectors though just so it doesnt happen again. But they got her running again for $300!! not bad for a stealership eh?? Im so excited that I might just order new headers tonight! hehe

FYI got her home, ran her for a little bit just to make sure everything was alright, shut her down, put on the 14X3, and man am I happy I bought that, the throttle response difference was noticeable in my opinion, and I love that sound!

Dangit! I mean... er...yay! Sorry, was looking forward to the cheap parts. But hey, its gotta feel good to have it running again. Can't believe you got out of the dealership for less than a grand. They probably charge $300 for just new wires at mine...

No they'd charge me $300 to ask about new Fog Lights.

Save your money and get a sonic cleaner and clean all of your injectors. Install new upper and lower injector O-Rings and also clean out the fuel rail. An injector cleaner and mineral spirits (to use as a cleaning agent) will run about $120, whereas new injectors will run you over $800.
