just in time to ...wait another week becuase of SEMA

I freaked out after I boxed the unit. I started the truck and it would not go in to any gears. I unpacked and quadruple checked I was in level 0. I realized the only difference was I had left the ODBII cable plugged in without the EVO.
Dee dee dee

Hopefully I will get it back before it gets below 59 or I will freeze my nuts off on my bike. I don't even remember how bad the milage was before a programmer.

Miracles can happen?
Glad you went with the upgrade.
You will have a new toy and a different driving truck when you get back!
Just be patient!

I normally switch from my motorcycle to my truck to drive to work in winter. The coldest I can ride in (with thermals) is 57f. That's pretty darn cold. ...for CA.

Oh your question, well I have a modified '04 and I just installed new replacement headers and don't want to blow those out from running too lean and i'm not sure how bad the mpg will be without a programmer anyhow.

So I see you are running the JBA short header? If you still are, a truck running on a stock program should be able to handle them. It's the long tubes that really need tunes. But explain to me more about your custom exhaust and what you did there on that mod so I can understand.

JBA shorties, 4 oem stock converters. This is my second set. When the 1st ones broke I could see the blue flames shoot out at startup in between the broken section of the passenger header.

Stock exhaust merges with a "Y" section to a single pipe. I replaced the "Y" with an "X" and continued with dual pipes. Allthough the Magnaflow muffler has an internal "X" the section I replaced gives it rigity since the brackets are only on one side as they are intended to hold a single pipe.

Oh, do you know how to clear the engine codes?

When I pulled out my Edge and I had an old check engine light. I disconnected the battery and stepped on the brake pedal. When I started it it the check light was still there and the truck would not go in to gear, nor would the gas pedal work (it physically moved but no rise in rpm). I get really worried as it' not possible to push (and the Edge is in route to PHP). I restart about a dozen times in park, neutral, let it warm up and finally it works but I still have a check engine light. Grrr!
