installed 4 new OE style seat covers and they look great, 99% match to OEM

ended up switching lower seat foam side to side, so my driver seat is fresh like new, and the passenger seat that had some wear that edge is now on the inside so its also good. 


next time ill have a pair of hog ring pliers on hand, i didnt realize there were ringed in pleats that i had to disconnect and connect the new fabric too in a few places. 

overall, super happy for 100$.  took about an hour to do all 4 after learning on the first one a bit.

i have never had a bad maf for an LS, just use what ever the donar had.  i guess 6.7cummins is special.    Even Mikey G that did the tune agrees, only mopar/contanetal work, he has them from cummins for 250$


i think im going to steal the one out of my brother in laws truck this weekend and swap it in.

I buy used OEM MAF for my builds (ebay).  I never have had a bad one.  knock on wood... ::)



345$ for a mopar MAF sensor, alot of the forums are saying you must get a mopar sensor only.

30$ amazon and ebay sensors that say are compatable i guess have a bad wrap.



this is annoying.

going to do some voltage checks as procedure outlines i guess.

i had already changed the passenger wheel speed sensor, i changed it again to another new one, no change in result. 



first stop brakes buz and lights come on, then brakes fine after but with lights and codes.    i guess ill check the wiring on chassis next time its on the lift.   

should be ready for a sticker after 3 days of driving around.  ill have to check monitors, and if thats an issue and just turn them off with a fresh hot rod tune lol

took cluster apart, cycled stepper motors on gages manually a few times and now seems good.  repair kits with all motors and lights cheap, but ill see if i can grab another cluster to swap.

MIL brake lights, says passenger side wheel speed sensor.  i think i have that in stock, and already changed the driver side.

more miles today running around, seems like a solid little truck.
