And I noticed when I got home from school tonight that when I engage the emergency brake it doesn't really grip until its all the way to the floor. My dads ranger grips when its not even half way. I think I am going to check the brakes this weekend to see if they need changing. I have heard good things of Wagner ThermoQuiets so maybe get some of those if they need changing. And maybe Baer DecelaRotors for the rotors. Anybody have any experience with them?

It might just take a little more to stop a bigger truck

And I am going to the putting on the Gotts mod this weekend. How important is it to take the battery terminal off before installing it?

The PCM should adjust on its own over a few days if driving. Disconnecting it just speeds it up. Either or.

Thanks alot guys! I did the Gotts intake this weekend. Got my toolbox in on thursday. Next is a Line-X next paycheck.

Although this morning I went to start it and it would crank fine, but no go. All of the gauges would go to max and I didn't have any check engine lights. I checked all the connections on the engine. I took the battery terminals off and cleaned them, I also added water to top off the battery and it was no go. I waited for probably 20 mins then I went to try it again. And it started right up! My dad thinks I may have flooded the engine, but I don't hit the gas while starting it ever, I could have done it by accident. I just wanted your guys opinions on what this might be. Have any of you guys heard of this before?
