Al Gore invented this method of getting more out of your truck by trying this technique... If it works for you...you should make a donation to a penguin fund, and buy some carbon credits...

If you are not sure how to make the donations, contact Nuclearthreat

hhmmm.... more placebo anyone?

Did you know if you pump your brakes when the engine is off until it gets hard, hold it the best you can... then start the truck... if the pedal falls even slightly it means your engine is on its way out. Didn't know that did you? Go try it...

For what its worth, also found this on a stang forum. Shows that the cover can be rotated and adjusted to take out the tolerance slack instead of bending brushes...

Really? Do tell us what a computer re calibrating itself sounds like??? Wouldn't happen to sound like a whirring fuel pump would it now?

The verdict is still out.

seeing as though you have a 2008 I guess you haven't had your truck long enough to drive it. If you have ever installed a programmer or tuner, after it goes through it's paces you can hear the gauge cluster rebooting itself... it's pretty common for any kind of tuning. Like I SAID for those of you who have not tried this i.e. "cndcowboy" it really does sound like bs. BUt for those of us who have tried it and gotten results don't hate... I didn't realize that for a neutral country you could be so fiesty aren't you the same place that my junky sea doo's come from? viede viede francwha j/k try it then buy it biotch
