    Un-Doing my pushbutton GP's?

    Is it possible to undo my push button GP's? I went to a pushbutton when I got the Bosch plugs because the comtroller would glow them for 20-24 sec every time I started the truck. This caused the first set to be gone in a week. Now I'm going back to Beru and would like to have the GP's back in...

    Hard Starts

    Now that we are having mini blizzards here now and the temp is 30's-40's my truck will take around 30-40 sec of cranking (in 10 sec bursts) or a tiny shot of ether to get it to even fire :dunno. I put new return lines on last night and it didn't help anything, GP's are in good shape and I...

    Running Hot

    I was heading out to a buddy's last night on the highway doing 65 uphill and the temp gauge went up to the "L" in the word NORMAL. I found this odd because the temps are about the same as when I made the 211 mi treck to the Rally and the gauge never rose above the "N" and some of those grades...
