As of 7/1/12 apparently. Yours should have needed a plug in already?

Mine stays off for 2 driving segments. Working some resistor magic. If I can play with adaptation I may be done already or I might need more resistor than the 1k I put in.

I might have this think licked. Driven about 10x as far and 5x as many key cycles without a CEL as before. Lower ambient temps but I don't think that matters.

I only learned things related to fooling for disabled EGR. You can twist your MAF to reduce the flow it sees and be golden.

If it's from glow plugs you just need to fix it. I remember you did some work on that and made something better though?

Let me know your codes...

You bypassed the stock glow plug relay and now manually trigger them? Ecu probably knows that and won't like it. We may need to restore factory setup at least partially.

EGR should be easy to defeat with MAF twist if it's a flow comparison issue. Reportedly makes the MAF live longer too.

I'm free Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. Hopefully get a sticker on mine first thing Saturday.

seems odd it could sense resistance but not power them lol 

ill have to read them.  probably why the CEL stays on 100% now instead of 80%

Got my new turn signal switch swapped in on lunch today. Beast is 100% now, switch fixed the 4 ways as expected. Just needs a sticker stuck. Saturday first thing...

Old thread but saw it in my subscribed. Took I think it was $1500 for this with a spare set of wheels (free from monster jam) a couple weeks ago. I don’t think I did another thing to it since this thread. Other than tired battery BS the thing was rock solid.
