LMM, I ran the stock single for about 8months(daily driver) before it started failing to click the truck off. I also had a problem with the heater controls resetting every morning to 74degrees with the a/c on and they just never worked right. I purchased a odyssey pc1500 that has solved my heater control glitch and lights the truck off pretty quick. It's spendy $300 but has a full replacement 4 year warranty and well built.

I wasnt going to mess up this thread.But you need to STFU. I didnt post what about your many reported posts ......Crying, because i treat you unfairly:spit:. Yes, i call you on your BS and how you treat members that dont know as much as you.

Just by posting what you did is a testament of your character. Your a big baby with parents money to boot.You sell tuning, And never could tune your own truck?? There was nothing wrong with what I posted to start this BS other than you felt the need to express your stupid opinion on my truck.....That for some reason bothers you cuz its faster than anything you will ever be a part of. Suck up your pride, stop being a baby and Shut your cack sucking lips ;)

who said Im a big pole smoking homo baby with parents money...? I live on my own 2,000 miles away from my parents (so that rules out me being a "baby with parents money"), and I only hook up with girls (so that rules out me being a "pole smoking homo"). :confused:

I am so god damn fking confused where you are getting these ideas simon. Please, enlighten me. I think we're all dying to know how you think you know me...?

questioning my character, when you act the way you do, thats a good one.

Simon you are a complete asshole to me for literally no reason, and I dont know where it started. Was there one day in the history of this forum that I said something and you were like "thats it, ben sucks and Im going to hate him like the plague from now on", or something like that? :confused:

If you're going to shit on me constantly, at least tell me what I did to you.

and "because I think you're gay" or "because you suck" or some other stupid asinine 4th-grade-playground-insult reason that you conjured up in your little dim witted pea brain isnt a valid answer. I want something real, a tangible event that occurred at some point that initiated your hatred for me.

OK, so I narrowed it down to sometime between february 9th 2009 ,I did sleep with a guy, but nothing happenened! honestly!!! Why doesn't anyone believe me

So sometime in that several month time period, I did SOMETHING to piss you off. God only knows what, I doubt you even know what. You probly just woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and decided to hate me.

And whats this...HOLY SHIT did you even compliment one of my tunes? I thought you said im a shitty tuner and dont know how to tune trucks? What say you now mr. orford? :rolleyes:

You see Im not as stupid as you think I am...I have a pretty decent memory and dont forget things.

OK, so I narrowed it down to sometime between february 9th 2009 (you and I exchanged a couple friendly PM's because you had some questions about your ABS module and how to bleed it with a Tech 2, to which I nicely responded and explained how to do it, and you thanked me) and september 10th 2009 (you sent me a PM saying "I DELETED YOUR POST BECAUSE YOU WERE BEING STUPID, IM SICK OF YOU BEING AN ASSHOLE!!!".

So sometime in that several month time period, I did SOMETHING to piss you off. God only knows what, I doubt you even know what. You probably just woke up on the wrong side of the bed one day and decided to hate me.

And whats this...HOLY SHIT did you even compliment one of my tunes? I thought you said im a shitty tuner and dont know how to tune trucks? What say you now mr. orford? :rolleyes:

Ben, this is pathetic!

People that ask " why dont you like me" will not understand.

I think of you, the way i do.....Stop trying to over anylize the situation,you pole smoking homo!:rofl:

Ive seen a u-tube vid of you being a loser and bashing my girl friend.

Saying that....do you now feel better???

And yes i used your tune at one point, You ARE A TERRIBLE TUNER.

You asked EFI to change tables, Because you could not figure out your issue! You tried all sorts of peoples tunes and when you did realize it was tuning( years later )....you never said a word!!! That right there...Says it all;)


I am done with messing up this thread with stupid shit of why"i dont like you":cry:
You pole smoking homo:D

bwaahaha. Nice try. If Im such a terrible tuner than why did you say you really liked my tune. You even complimented several aspects of it. (no smoke, driveability, how you were going to use it as your tow tune/daily driver tune). Nice back-pedaling, but you're going to have to do better than that, seeing as I have it in writing!!! :p: :rofl:

Where did I say that??? No ones tune ever fixed the problem (I had Tony tune my truck, I had Idaho Rob send me stuff, I had you send me stuff, etc). The only way that I could seem to make the issue go away was by maxing out the TLIQ tables in the areas where it occured. But the ECM would still defuel in those random spurts (if you monitored Driver Demanded Torque), but the torque reductions wouldnt be 'translated' to the real world because even though the ECM was asking torque to be reduced to 300ft lbs, 300ft lbs = 100mm3 in the TLIQ table, thus the defuel wouldnt actually be felt.

But that had so many issues, drive ability, trans-shift defuel became unpredictable, etc......

I stopped racing my truck before I truly figured it out. Even Ross at EFILive said it was very strange.

Not to get OT but I started running a single bat in Sept 2011 and it worked well until half way through the first winter and it took a sht it was old though. So I bought an interstate which worked well through the rest of the winter and all summer and about half of this winter and now if the truck sits more than a couple of days it will not start unless I leave a bat tender on it.
So I am looking at another bat on the frame and was wondering how big of a bat can I run for the secound one? My stereo buddy told me I can go a little bigger were I will be extending the cables but not much is this true or do I need to go with the same size?

The more cable you run the more voltage drop you will have that being said i dont think your running long enough to worry about it.John is running 1 1800 cca battery in the way back of the truck and doesnt seam to have any probelms altho he doesnt drive it much.

Even in the summer after a couple days it wont start? Winter I can see that but summer?
