    4wd shift is haunted

    Truck has turned 182k miles and now I have a gremlin. Whilst minding my business driving to work I noticed the 4lo light blinking on the cluster. It would do it on a occasion and not even daily. I ignored it when I checked the MM3 for codes and there wasn't any. Then one day I went out to...

It used to idle ~650-700 RPM and now it is below 500. When I touch the accelerator it shouts up. It is not always that it does this...

    spek gauges anyone using them??

    Is anyone using spek gauges? If so what are you thoughts? They look like they are a little more pricey than autometer but look good and have some good features like color change for warnings and so on.

    Does anyone have any experience with these products? I ran the mag-hytec on my last truck and didn't know how they compare? Also I got an attaboy at work and now have some money to spend on gauges. I was looking at the Edge CTS no programmer. Any thoughts? Truck is still bone stock.
