    I can't switch to stock but switching to a lower power tune is just depressing

    Switching back to stock makes my truck a total pooch.
    I switched it back though so were all good.

    Anyone ever plasti-dip their bumpers? I was thinking about trying to plasti-dip my bumpers white.
    Any input?

    I know a lot of people have. I say go for it and if you don't like it you can peel it right off. White ought to look really good on there too.

    If you want to go for it but I think some chrome on the front looks cleaner for a truck like yours. A solid white front I think looks more street truckish

    Alright I got in my truck this morning to start it and it started up just fine and I let it warm up for about 5-7 minutes (In Minnesota it has been pretty damn cold for the last week) but when i shifted into Drive and started moving there was a weird little rattle/vibration noise coming from somewhere, I havent been able to pinpoint it yet but it sounded like it was coming from under the dash but like i said I cant pinpoint it, but it only makes this tiny noise at very very low rpm's when I am in Drive only, doesnt happen in reverse, neutral, or park.

    It drove just fine to and from work but it always made this little sound whenever I would start to move from a dead stop. Anyway I thought maybe I would just check my Edge for diagnostic codes, low and behold a code came up, the code said P2072 "Throttle Actuator Control Systems-Ice Breakage" does anyone have any idea what this means? Like I said it hasnt been driving any different. I did just replace the battery because the old battery only had 270 cold cranking amps, but now she has 850 Cold Cranking Amps :happy3:

    If anybody could give me some kind of idea where to go from here that would be awesome.

    So the other day it got pretty cold here in MN (-30 air temperature) and on my way to work in the morning i was accelerating and when i got to speed i tried to set the cruise control and it didnt work. I bought the truck with the cruise not working and then one day it decided to work so i thought it was all good. I havent checked any fuses or anything but its just weird that it didnt work, then it did, and now it doesnt work again.

    Anyone got any suggestions as to what i should look at first?

    Sounds like a short somewhere. Always start with fuses though

    If your parking brake is down even 1 click, the cruise won't come on. make sure you didn't bump that
