Put gas de-icer stuff in the gas tank, got it started and running okay, put gas in. Drove it home, let it sit for about 20 minutes, went out and started it, and ses code was on for p0101, i deleted code, and now it wont start again. I think it needs another MAF in less than 10k miles, first one i put on was brand new ac delco. My life sucks today.

You have a 97-03 right? Check the wiring, I wouldn't expect an ac delco to fail that quick. Do you have an open cone filter or something that would mess up the sensor? Check intake tubing and filter seal, make sure no dirty air can bypass it.

I say stick with TRS, unless money is a big issue. You can always change bulbs and keep the TRS stuff if you change housings. The TRS stuff is top quality, so we'll worth it.

You mean 35 watt? I thought most preferred 35 for hids

I was thinking, since they're just fog lights I should buy a dependable cheaper set. I can spend the money but shouldn't, for trs.

No i would want the 50 or 55 whatever the rating is more maximum light output.

I heard 55 runs hotter more so than more light. Also heard 55 can melt housings. Could have been in fogs.

Not sure on the melting part, i know I've seen people melt stock fogs with 35w HIDs. The actual headlight housings I don't think it would be a problem considering they won't get any direct heat because of the projector and the vents should take care of ths rest.

I never heard of 35 watts melting stock fogs. I could order 25 watt hids.

Ordered 25 watt hid's for fogs. Got the cheap ones, but says 2 year warranty so lets go lol. Worth a shot. They're by OPT7.

Drove the work truck about 525 miles today. I drove out to Byesville, OH, making a few stops along the way, then back to the shop. I loaded up again and headed to Lisbon, OH.

Too much effin driving.

i washed it for the first time in weeks. dont ya know its raining out now. cant f-ing win.

I haven't washed mine in longer than I can remember.

I also changed the oil in both the Silverado and the F-250 this morning. I had to use my foot to break the drain plug loose and use an effin pipe wrench on the filter on the Ford because the last person/shop to change the oil cranked them b!tches on there.

If it is offered as an option on there kits then it is a GO.....alas no go for mini H1, but is for mini D2S 3.0
That is the reason I went with the D2S 3.0.. I had 5fives and they were stadium bright. Ended up with 35 watt Densos .
I went thru three 5fives in three months and gave up. The Densos have been great and I didn't change anything with the wiring.

I messaged him. directly and asked that specific question. He is the one that built mine. They aren't installed yet. I'll email trs too

Did an oil change, tryin out some synthetic blend.


Also scotty, my pan is noticeably leaking now. The bottom of it was moist of oil. Its only a matter of time before i have to park on cardboard.
