Went to radio shack and bought some 4.7kohms resistors 1/2w and made a PW today.Only took about 10 minutes with everything and before my scan gauge was reading about 108 just at idle and when I plugged in the PW it read 80 degrees.

Took it for a test drive and the truck seems to have a little bit better throttle response and pick up. Along the test drive the gauge didn't go over 80 degrees at all, usually its reading 110-120 degrees since its been pretty hot here.

So far I'm happy and glad I did this today.

Cool, what kind of mileage change have you seen with it?

I have not driven enough to tell that one yet. I only took it for a test drive and just noticed that it seems to have the better response. Ill post back when and if I notice any mpg difference.

You can do it for under $10 if you have wire. I bought the parts for the tranny pressure booster whih is basically the same thing, just hvent gotten to install it yet

I spent $2.00 because I have tons of wire sizes, solder, and connectors.

On the air ram site it says the power wire shows gains of 8-10 hp. Is that possible?

That's odd. I wonder why it's doing that.
