Does my screen name mean anything[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Im wasnt sure if you were retired from that too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Im thinking we can work a trade, wheel spacers for you filling my scuba tank?


I'm resisting giving that up to[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Sssooooooo, I still have all my gear. The swap sounds good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] However, when was the last time the tank was inspected? Needs a visual every year and a hydro every 5 years. And I just happen to have a card for 10 free re-fills[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

The Superchips Programmer makes a copy of the stock tuning and stores it on the unit so you can install the performance tuning. When you want to change back, it takes the stock tuning and re-loads it to the computer.

TPR
If the programmer is lost youre outta luck. Im pretty sure you have to get the computer reflashed.

A couple of things ahve happened here. Either heat got to the oil lines and/or the oil rings & connections, The tech did not do a proper repair to the first issue, the pressure relief valve is stuck or letting too much pressure pass through the system, and/or you have a bad oil filter.

Change the oil & filter and then take a oil pressure test to see what the oil pressure is at idle and at higher rpm's. Then you can find out if it's an internal issue or poor repair job.

My two cents................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] good luck with it
Creator, the MODS appreciate that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

TPR, I would trust what Creator aka: Trasher speaks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I too, can't see how they are related.

Boy do I have you fooled[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I would say resist as long as possible. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I am not sure about the hydro but it has been about 14 mos since it was filled last. Is there some kind of markings on it? I could bring it to carnegie mon.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Did someone say hydro???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] LOL!

I got to do some scuba in Jamaica. That was pretty sweet. Only went one day, but hey it was grand. I dunno if I could scuba again. My dam ears are messed up. When I get below water to deep, the pressure feels like its gunna blow my brains out of my ears. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

Yes, bring it Monday. The hydro date will be stamped into the metal around the neck (or close to it) the date of the visual will have a sticker on it towards the bottom.
