    What did you do to the expy today

    When my truck talks to me at 91000 miles I listen to what it's saying, so a new GatorBack Serpentine Belt, idler pulleys and tensioner pulley is what it was asking for. And for the heck of it I applied RainX all the way around.

    smaller lift

    I also did the 3.5/2.5 spacer lift, it's the same process as the 1" - 2", I had a mechanic install my kit in his home garage $200, don't forget the four wheel alignment $100. The ride actually feels better/rolls smother with some of the weight shifted to the rear. Have not changed tires yet.

    Changed the #3 COP... Was having an intermittent engine miss and loss of power after overnight rain (AGAIN) hooked up the ODB and #3 was the culprit.

    Low Tire Pressure Sensor '04 EB

    Try a nitrogen fill in your tires, it is more stable than compressed air. I ran 35lbs all summer then it cooled off recently, my light was illuminated on the cold mornings, loaded them with 37lbs of nitrogen and no more light, I think you will see the difference.
