Are these the fogs you speak of?

I find myself highly desiring a set in black. I figure they would fit on my next '11/'14 truck whenever I actually buy one so it wouldn't totally be a wasted mod.

Alright guys, got the truck back a week ago, and got some good pictures to kinda show what I got done.

I had the body shop instal rock chip guard from the rockers all the way up to where the old gray went to and then repainted it with the original gray to match, had the OEM flares painted gray to match, had the door handles PTM'ed gloss black, and had the whole truck buffed, polished and waxed. She is looking amazing now.

Saleen hood had to make my own mesh since it didn't come with it, but I think it turned out pretty good/

Thanks! That was an option, but my grandpa said it would turn out great with just a buff and polish. And it sure did

Man I haven't updated this in awhile. Don't really remember what I did since my last post in this thread, I don't think alot. Just did long tube headers, custom tunes from PHP and new plugs and Delphi COPs. Truck ran amazing...... Then went mudding and now is sluggish as heck. Pulled all COPs to clean out dirt, changed fuel filter, cleaned air filter and maf sensor. No misfires but still running doggy. Don't know what else to do, probably put it on the scan tool sooner or later.

Trucks looking good! As far as it running like a dog, have you tried reloading your tune?

Looks good! Good to see a posting. Would love an audio clip of the longtube setup with the XR1 muffler!

How has the sluggish-mode issue going? Get something figured out? Did you replace your front O2 sensors during the header install, or did you use extensions on the old O2s? Perhaps one got dirty/contaminated.

I have a couple clips, but they are just off my phone, won't do it justice.
Truck is still sluggish, tried turning back to stock then reprogramming, still nothing. Gonna try throttle relearn possibly tomorrow. Front O2s are brand new, they are the Bosch ones with long cords. So no cutting and splicing. I checked around the O2s and nothing around it, no dirt nothing. Maybe a COP went bad, but not bad enough to have a full on misfire.
What should our fuel pressure be? At idle is 37-38. At WOT it goes up to 60 but when it shifts it goes down to 20, but then right back up. Normal driving it sits around 38-40psi.

I haven't a clue on the fuel pressure psi. I hardly drive mine enough to even play with my programmer and see haha. Hopefully it could be just one little COP.

Ran the snap on scan tool. No misfires, fuel pressure only dips to26 psi after shift. Which from what I read is on spec. Everything seems fine. Possibly thinking trans. It has been running better, but still shifting weird. Hesitating on down shift under light load. Possibly TC I think.
