    I was told that if you disconnect the battery, the ecu resets to original settings so you should let it idle for 10-15 minutes upon starting after hooking the battery to let the ecu run through its tests and make necessary adjustments.

    Thanks, L90: that's what I had heard, and I was curious if this was beneficial or not, now that all the mechanical adjustments have been made. I know from the F-150 and Sable manuals, it is recommended to let them idle for at least a minute after re-connecting the battery. It seems to me that letting the engine/ecu go through their paces of warming up and reaching operating temperature was a good idea.

    Ever since I got the engine fixed, I've been wanting to do an updated photo, but this winter hasn't allowed for it...until today. On the left, 5 months ago, on the right, this morning:

    Ahhhh: that "brushed plastic" look so many women go wild over...

    The only way this truck will look bigger than an F-150 is with optical illusion
