hmm, you watched my 2nd start. i think that should have made a little bit of a noise imo but maybe not yours. it just seems odd to me i cant hear it and is making me wonder if it has anything to do with the reason im so rich. but like u said about yours, probably in the tune. god i hope troyer tells me something tomorrow.

meanwhile waiting for news from troyer, i found a wiring connector that comes from the cowl on the drivers side, 2 pin, green and black... cant find it in a wiring diagram. is that the EVO crap? or is it my DRL module i got rid of long ago? lol

this is disheartening. the truck idles great with a vac leak.

yeah their customer support is ****. troyer is the only good one there. back when I had my old engine, i had a drag and street tune. I called to ask them what the difference in the 2 tunes were, and the guy said well one is for when you drag race and the other is for driving on the street. um... DUH. i had to explain to them what I wanted to know in detail, like timing, a/f????? not really that smart of people IMO
