Depends how off the trims were before it got colder. Colder air is more dense so it can become more lean. I believe the trims have to be -/+ 15 to 20 tp throw a lean code. Seems you need a custom tune. Its risky going WOT with a lean code because if the lower cells of the MAF are lean more than likely the upper are too and that is no good for the pistons.

A couple people told me they may also go off wholesale, which I think is even lower than trade in. About 1/3 of it is coming from the trunk tub (1k part, 26+ hrs labor). They also need to replace both front and rear bumpers, braces, a headlight, battery and a few misc. other parts. No frame damage, no suspension damage, no damage within engine bay...so despite the high total the car is actually in good shape between the braces. Hell, considering I've been backed into a couple times, my rear bumper will actually come out looking better than before!

I was seeing 11.9 today at redline.Csn you email him to make sure the timing tables are smooth and gradually go up so there are no spikes.Seems like timing wants to spike.

So the V10 Ram had a constant misfire.No codes.So I allowed the spark plugs to tell me what cylinder was not firing.#2 plug was drenched in fuel and looked brand new,meaning no combustion was taking place.Checked spark and all was good(got zapped a hundred times lol).Continued on to compression which was 0 psi.I was like 
.So today I started breaking into her more.Pulled the intake manifold off so I could pull bank 2 valve cover off.Pulled the cover off and found this.
The rocker bolt snapped in half causing the pushrod to jump out.Drilled through the middle of the broken bolt and hit it with a easy out which came out like butter.Put in a hardened grade 8 bolt,cleaned out the intake manifold and throttle body which were gunked up pretty good and she's running on all 10 again.The torque in this thing is impressive for a 1st gen 8.0 V10.This job took me all day from lack of room to work with lol.Fun times!!!
