    OBD2 Programmer

    Just got off the phone with Smarty. Their engineer stated that having the auto programming would cause a lot of codes so that possibility is out. I guess I look for a ecm I can test it with unless I can find a way to read and change the ecm data directly. I’m still looking for thoughts.

    OBD2 Programmer

It...

Due to the fact that rust free DRW beds are super rare i am wondering if there is a difference between a SRW bed and a DRW with the exception of the section that is cut out over the wheel well? my fenders are good and could be used on the new bed...

    ABS/Brake Light

    really interesting as my speedometer has never stopped working through this whole deal. got the rebuilt controller back today and installed. no change so i guess its back to square one. back to running down wiring and connections.

    ABS/Brake Light

    Well I checked the RF sensor and it showed open resistance so i replaced it. The rear sensor showed 1020ohm resistance (about the same as the new LF sensor. found i was a little low on PS fluid so i topped it off, then checked every connector under the hood. now when i start up the light goes...
