not yet man.. i just gave up with the seller and posted negative feedback... I just order a pair of load resistors from superbrightleds.com that should get here some time next week.. this should fix the problem.. the goods news is that i washed the truck on one of those high pressure automatic car wash and their was no water leak on them.. so that is a plus.

If you buy from K2.. make sure you get an extra pair of load resistors prior to bidding.. negotiate with them something.. or just be ready to buy an extra pair by the time they get to you from superbrightleds.com.

They still will be cheaper than IPCW and ti me they look way better. I wouldn't mind spending the extra Mula to get the resistor. Let me know houw it goes when you install the resistors.:thumbsup:

There is nothing special about, it's pretty much stock besides the edge programmer. I'm waiting to get the Volant and then the Magnaflow exshaust. After that then I'm going to shop around for wheels and other things. I'm trying to get the performance mods first if you know what I mean, a sleeper Kon:sleep:
I'll post some if you still want to see it:thumbsup:

I have only the Programmer and let me tell you that for the money this should be the first thing to buy before you buy anything else. even in the fuel economy mode you can feel the difference in power, throttle respnce and shifting. So far 19.5 MPG in the economy mode without being to gentle on her:smilielol: I 'll make a trip to Houston this week and will fill it up with Premium gas. after the trip I'll post results on my Thread. Keep in mind that Volant CAI was $316.00 and the programmer $399.20 with free overnight delivery. For a little more you get more than you would with only the CAI or the exhaust! I went with the best for my money first. Trust me it is worth every penny!!

while we are at it. make sure that you wea flower prints shorts with a hawaian style shirt. Ah! also wear some Tevas or Crocs!!:smilielol:

Dude crocs are sweet around the house as long as nobody sees you wearing them and they aren't a fluorescent color

. All these trucks need is a little nitrous to go fast, the lsx truck motors will take 100shot for years with just some spark plugs and a proper tune.

Ok! that is your opinion on the crocsLOL. I wouldn't wear for nothing, I rather be barefoot than wearing those things, but again just my opinion. I don't want to drag race so I don't need NOS. Besides if you get too happy with it you will pay literallly when you have to refill. I rather save money and get a supercharger or turbocharger. Again, my opinion!!

Wasn't sure you were down with forced induction :cheers: Scares the hell out of some people but its the only way to make any power up here at altitude. What kit you planning on running? STS? Whipple?

I just traded in a mustang for the tahoe.. not really looking for speed on this thing but I guess its something personal that we like to feel when you made you vehicle more powerfull or faster than Stock.. I can say that I feel like a child trading cards.. you want all the cards and want to be the frist around the block with them... the inner child i guess...

Just for fun below pics of the mustang..

Right now it's going to have to wait, but if I was to do it I would go custom and bui my own. I only trust myself when it comes to working on my cars sorry! Also it is a whole lot cheaper when you do it yourself. I have had cars that did not have any kits available yet and I just built then myself along with the help of some other friends. When you do it yourself you can choose to get the best and not conform with whatever is availabel on a kit, only to later upgrade and pay extra for what you really wanted.

Don't mean to create any animosity among any shop owners, tuners or professionals in this site sorry!

STS kits are pretty cheap, and you can buy them with a 70mm head unit. There are so many different ways to turbo these trucks, we built a single gt42r kit on my buddy's 5.3 and it lays 450whp at 9psi as his daily driver. Nice smooth power and it tows pretty well too. Can't hate on diy kits, they make the most power and cost the least if you're chill with putting in the work.

I'm with you bro! Got Boost? There is plenty of space under the hood of these beast to work. And if you ask me I'll go tubo before supercharge because it's easier to get more power on the fly!! You've got to love that!, Don't you. How cheap are you Talking about on those STS kits? Are they for GMT900 or 800?

Did you do these mods mostly for the performance, sound, or fuel economy? It will take years to make up that money on fuel savings if you bought it primarily for that....
