Anybody out there used the Superchips tuner on their 5.3? I just want to disable the AFM, but have seen conflicting reviews online as to whether their Flashpaq F5 GM 2845 has that capability. I don't want to spend $350 only to find out it really doesn't.....


Wife is trying to figure out a baseball trip again this year. She's talking about Toronto/Detroit/Cleveland/Cincinnati.... Yet she bitches about how much I spend on DirecTV sports subscriptions.... go figure....




Oh, and it's still cold as ***** down here. Maybe we'll get up to freezing tomorrow....

That would be cool. It would be cooler if I had my car with me, but I'm not making a trip like that in my Monte. It would take me forever to get the crud off of it to show...

Good morning guys, -20 degrees this morning. The St. Clair River has started flooding due to ice blockage. Ice coverage on the Great Lakes is up to 22.7% overall.

Next week Wednesday/Thursday is suppose to make it up into the 40s, it's going to be amazing!

Finally going back to work after a long lay off, of course I'm being sent to one of the coldest places in the state Hibbing Mn. Glad it's going to warm up next week cause my luck we will be working in a demo building without heat. Hope you all get the heat wave coming next week.

Another day with negative temperature's but suppose to warm up to 10 degree's today. Got a oil change planed sometime today and need to clean salt off garage floor. Always use the incorrect filter for the car (wix 51036) because it holds more oil and has more filter media. Filter was designed for trucks but works just fine in car , Same filter used in 2.8 liter, 4.3 liter, 5.0 & 5.7 in the trucks and Suv's with 4 wheel drive during the 80's and 90's just incase someone was wondering.

It was 8 degrees this morning at 4:30 AM it is supposed to get better right now it is 18 degrees in central NE I am hoping for a warm up by May
I always go with a larger filter too. Stay warm for sure, the winter is all the way down to Florida.

Good morning. It is -5 in Southside VA. It is a balmy 3 degrees in northern NC at work this morning. This is way below normal for us. All the back water coves and creeks of Buggs island have been froze over for several days. The main channel has ice creeping across it. I haven't seen that in many years. Luckily its going to warm up to high 40's tomorrow!

Good morning guys. It was -16 yesterday morning, -7 this morning. Suppose to get around 1-2" of snow later today. Warming up to 24 degrees today (first time in 12 days we'll be above 20 degrees - broke quite a few record lows in the area) and then up into the 30s this week including 43 degrees Wed and 49 Thurs.

I think my location is in a similar boat as yours Matt. I believe we have spent quite a few days under 20 degrees. Not sure if we broke any records, but I am ready for the "deep freeze" to end.
