OK XRU, I have found what is wrong with the truck. It was a simple fix, however my motor will be replaced soon. Don't know the extent of the damage, but a bad connection on the power wire for the ECU was the cause of the running rough and cutting out of power. History is this wire has likely been messed up from when I removed the MAF CAL (that was wired in) and reconnected the wires. This very well could have caused the issues with the first motor. Hard to tell. I can promise is what my wrong doing both times and not any of the products in my truck.
I have issued refunds to all that have paid me. The amounts refunded are (not to put names up)
250 (in paypal/ immediately transferred), 100.00, 210.00, 300.00, 100.00, 700.00, 100.00, 75.00, 120.00, and 1200.00 Any other questions on the refunds, please PM me. Other than the first, paypal will take the normal 3-5 days to complete the refund.
Again, I am extremely sorry for any inconvenience. I hope you all understand that I never "wanted" to get rid of KETCHUP. I truely felt she was at the point of no return. That I had exhausted all possibilites, and I was wrong. I actually descovered the bad connection when removing the X1, to make sense of it.
Where do I go from here. Well first, no BYE BYE Ketchup. I have a few good friends with a used motor that I plan to pick up. Regardless of what was wrong, we are sure the motor suffered some damage. Won't ever know until the motor is pulled apart. So the best thing is to drop a new "used" motor in. I am actually considering re-building the motor. I honestly think now that the wire is fixed, the truck will run ok. If it blows up, at least this time I know what caused it.
**If you are upset, do us all a favor and keep it off this thread. You can send your displeasures by PM. I will tell you that my response will be close to "I never intended this to happen" I am sure most of you already understand and actually care for me and not worried about NOT getting something off my truck. Just wanted to clear that up cause I really don't have time for hate mail.
Again, I can't say thanks to those that have helped me enough. I hope that everyone understands that my issues were because of me, not my truck or the products on it.
XRU,
Time has come to part my truck and sell it to pay it off as stock.
So here it is. OFFICAL Part Out. All deals will be worked thru PM. Dibs can be called however thru this thread or PM.
SERIOUS buyers only. No LOW-BALLIN! Although locals, close members will have first dibs, my goal is to collect enough money to pay cash for my new car I have locked in on.
**Some parts will be local or pick up only**
**Some parts will include trade for stock parts**
UPDATE:
So I think I have found what was wrong with my truck. Working with G and won't know for sure until tomorrow evening. what this means, I don't know. It is so stupid of an issue I can't even talk about it right now. I will post up more info later. Don't ask anything until I give my update tomorrow. Don't want a million PMs to hit my box. Just want everyone to be aware.... Didn't go look at the car today because of this. More info to follow. If you are a friend and have my number, feel free to text me and I will explain. No one panic at this time....(buyers)
