Really, if you put in the black relay for the second slot, it ups the voltage enough to activate the NOS at WOT. Then, when you're hidden bottle is empty your truck runs thusly:
when I put the black relays in I had my v-8 back unfortunately minus the super charger

Now all you have to do, is reconstruct the self-destructing wires that formerly ran from the 3rd slot. If you can find a virgin L before the NOS runs out, the wiring from that 3rd slot will lead you to the hidden bottle.

I'll tell you what. my truck is stock and at three months with 5200 miles on it the power was cut by at least half. I've been pissed for like nine months and lol all you want and by the way I'm not blonde just punctuation deficient and the efin relays were changed and as I said before I will post dyno results asap with both sets. meanwhile I do appreciate that you all checked yours too which to me says that at least a few of you have had a power loss you're trying to figure out the cause for??? or maybe not?? whatever! anyways gonna light some tokens and relax a bit myself, if I'm wrong I'll still be looking for the answer, I've only been totally pissed off about it for nine months now and I believe I have the answer so if I'm right, and I'll wait for dyno results to be sure, I guess those of you with four relays and stock will be in for a real treat to see how your truck was built to run.... until then then, g

This is a period(minus the quotes)-> "."

This is a comma(minus the quotes)-> ","

This is a semicolon(minus the quotes)-> ";"

This is a colon(minus the quotes)-> ":"

When you type an open parenthesis-> "(", there should be a corresponding closed parenthesis-> ")"

It is a general rule to type 2 blank spaces after a period, before starting a new sentence.

Try to break your post into logical sections. (If there are any)

There's a lot more, but that should make your posts readable.

OK, this thing is a train wreck anyway but how about a little conspiracy theory chapter II.

Gigi jumped on a thread on the HD forum regarding a guy who "lost his supercharger whine" as well as experiencing a loss of power. No dissin' but it is a similar type thread that went on for months and is still sort of alive.

The conspiracy theory: Both trucks use the same two dealerships or something like that. Both have "phantom" problems that the dealer cannot duplicate but if I read the threads correctly, the problems have been temporarily fixed for both of them by the dealer at some point/points in their visits.

The "Theft Ring" thing intrigues me as a theory in that although I know little about the electronic architecture of modern vehicles I would be willing to bet that when thieves screw around with the electronics to defeat the PATS system for immediate or future snatching of a vehicle they could screw up the PCM to the point where all of the parameters are changed. Changed to the point where neither truck is getting the proper signals to run as intended. Sort of like me maybe sticking a 4.6L chip in my Blackwood.

Like to hear some input on this (serious input folks). Note well that I am not accusing either dealer of any wrongdoing. Anyone can unknowingly hire a thief. Been known to do it myself.
Bill

Rayden's cloud,


I just wonder if when they sliped those relays in her purse, they may have snatched up those BIRTH CONTROL pills. (That would explain alot)LOL

I've only been totally pissed off about it for nine months now

I know when my wife was pregnant there was a short time when the hormones let to some wierd stuff. Once she even accused me of spending too much money on my 5.0 Mustang's suspension. Brought up some wierd stuff about college education or something like that.

In the beginning of this post you asked if someone would check there relays. I wanted to put your mind at ease so I checked them and gave you the results of the finding. It was the same as yours, And the same as everyone else. Theres nothing wrong with your truck! You just got use to the power and speed.

My suggestion to you is go drive something else for a month then go back and drive your Lightning, You will find that all is well.

Thanks

Krueger

Sounds like something that stands on that bridge and won't let people cross until they answered riddles.

So it looks like you've owned it for 3 months, but have been pi$$ed for 9. Even that part makes no sense. I am afraid at the thought of sharing the road with this person.

That is reason alone for the chop-busting.

She bought it in January, everything was OK for 3 months, troubles started at 5200 miles, now is December, which is 9 months after trouble started. Which part you don't understand? She might be incoherent in expressing herself, but you don't have to be an a$$.
