Well I know marked everything and lined up as it was. Before taking off. The ground wire is where it was when i removed the tranny. If for some reason its not right. At least its just the exhaust I will have to drop and not the tranny ....lol

Postman delivered my reconditioned RCM from DJ Tighe today. He did his hocus-pocus kryptonite magic, brushed up needed areas and replaced all the relays.

* NO P0410 code !!

* NYS Inspection Sticker next week

* Computer Gremlins chased away for many months. Who knows?

*.Untold replacement parts, electronics, and hours of diagnostics pushed way down the road

* Peace of mind never been so cheap.

*.Best $50 bucks I ever spent

In 15 months I have saved maybe $700 because of you guys by learning, reading, troubleshooting, and doing it myself.

It' too bad that every Crossfire owner hasn't gotten that message . . . Enjoy your Crossfire!

I DROVE mine all weekend. Ohio to NC and back. Stayed near Pigeon Forge in a cabin with family. Killboy was kind enough to take some photos for me. All and all it was an 800+ mile trip. Can’t wait to go back in October.

Today I converted my front side lights to LED. I never really liked how the single incandescent bulb only lights up half of the marker and doesn't work with the blinker. I added 3 strips of LEDs to give it a more even look and hooked it up to the PWM controller I made for my headlights. Now I can control the brightness and make them fade in and out with the blinkers. I plan on doing the rear markers next

Original stock bulb

LED strips

another angle of the strips

Finally got the SRT transmission mounted behind the 5.4.

Installed a nice V8 tune into the TCU.

Performed a fluid exchange.

Went out and flogged the dog crap out of it!!

And likewise I always take a plastic grocery bag and place it over the alternator when cleaning the engine bay.

I noticed on your cars drivers side you have 3 wires grounded but on the other car in your post it has 4 wires grounded. Is there a reason for one having an extra ground? Thanks in advance

I will refer your question to Gary. The other car in my post is his roadster. I have a hunch why the 4th ground wire is there, but Gary will know why that extra ground wire is installed.

That was something that was put on the car in the first year and sold by member TVT and was something he sold he called a grounding kit
TVT is no longer an active member here

Drove the blue Roadster with the top down. Our time to ride top down is out of sync with most of you. We had the hottest July and August in history, 54 days of 110° Or higher in August and 8 days of 115° or higher. Cold snap today, didn’t break 90° today so tonight we put the top down and went for a nice ride.

Not sure if that was for me or not..... thanks if it was!!

Car is pretty close to where I want it to be..... but I'm seriously considering swapping the V8 converter back to the V6 converter. V6 converter has a higher stall speed.
