looks much better, I say keep the lights, the smoke is just enough to make them go with the blue very well IMO, only thing you need to do is get the old girl some new shoes!
I expect to see testing on this before the big purple dissapointment known as ats
Still having issues with mine.
Checked my fuel pressure and it seems to be fine.
I guess I'll move onto injectors next.
A friend stated that maybe it's a bad temp sensor. Said he had that issue in his Toyota where the sensor was bad and was causing it to dump too much fuel.
I'm just really getting frustrated. If I don't figure it out soon I'm going to get rid of her. [emoji852]

And this is what's driving me nuts! NO CODES!The only reason id question that suggestion is that if a sensor is reading wrong the truck will usually throw a CEL for it and call out that particular sensor
And this is what's driving me nuts! NO CODES!
All I've replaced:
Plugs
Coils
Cam sensor
Crank sensor
EGR
O2 sensors
MAP
TPS
IAT
I'm at a loss.

Here's a pic of the "parking brake chowda" I dealt with yesterday. And I'm think they were free floating for awhile cause there's no life in the shoe left. The pass side, still intact had plenty of life. Again, I never use parking brake. But I figured you'd like this pic, as this fell to ground when I pulled rotor off.

Won't pass in New Hampshire either, except. I have a guy that is lenient. And he knows I've been all over my truck. And if he notices & tells me to fix it then I'll fix it. He makes me keep up with any rust like on my nasty rear quarters, but that would be to easy for a kid in a parking lot to get cut. But I think it'll slidedown here in tx your vehicle wont pass inspection without it
That’s exactly what mine looked like two months ago. Did the same thing. The only thing inspection does here is hook up to your obd, that’s it.Here's a pic of the "parking brake chowda" I dealt with yesterday.

Inspection? What is this communist thing you speak of? [emoji631]
I grew up in NJ and it's horrible. Same when I was stationed in Hawaii. Luckily I'm moving to the free state of TN.

It used to be tough but it’s changed in the last two or three years, now they just check emissions. Couple years ago they sat in your car and applied parking brake and put it in drive to make sure it would hold, they would drive the vehicle across a grid to check your main brakes individually etc, etc, but not anymore.
Checked fuel pressure again and it was within spec. Didn't budge even when the motor would misfire.the part i have an issue with is that its not one cylinder misfiring, if it was id think the truck would have already told you about it, so IMO its not going to be an injector, it will be one of 2 things based on what i know about your truck so far...
1. the fuel rail/regulator not working properly
2. trash in your fuel tank
now number 2 im dealing with now, i have something in my tank that gives me an issue right after i get gas, alot of times when i get gas the truck will seem to misfire for a bit and occasionally it will stall when i take my foot off the gas, mine is tolerable only because after about mins after getting gas my problem goes away, you could have gotten some really bad contaminate in your tank hats plugging up the sock filter on your pump
