Drove back to school. The combination of bad wind, 45 minutes worth of traffic, winter gas and the ecu still programming from putting the stock injectors back in really sucked my mpg down; hopefully it'll go back up after everything settles in

Why didn't you bedliner after getting it painted? That's a lot of overspray. You really need to mask off the entire side of the truck even if only going rockers. Good to know

Where are you getting seats?
