    Alot of them
    A PC and tow haul are two separate things. They operate differently.

    Looks so good. Fwiw I was able to move my whole front inner fender forward a great bit and just re fasten it from the bottom. Leaving the liner intact

    Agreed. One is shift points and one is throttle response from the way I understand it. I don’t have one, but my buddy has the PC were playing around with it and it was pretty lively off the line. Seemed to be a difference using both (maybe not-could just benperception ). Anyway the lag was gone and acceleration seemed to be pretty damn quick. I’d say close to any 3.5 ecoboost for a short duration with a high rpm holding those points longer.

    Same thing happens when you press the gas farther initially. That's what the PC does.

    first you go and send me down a rabbit hole on buying cheaper lights and trying my first retro fit... then you send me down another google session on what are chase lights, followed by what tail lights are different than yours but I could try the same with.... And now you go and post a video and some pics.... back to google again.....

    Side note, my stock tail light is taking on moisture... I think that means new tails right?

    Good to know and thank you. I have been holding off on one of those switch ports (not using a brand name on purpose) but feel this would help justify and be useful on the game roads and what not.

    Thanks for the compliments!!
    For your stock taillight, I would check the rubber grommets where the bulbs are seated. One may be cracked or missing.
    For the switch pod, you may not need one! I don’t. IMG_9013.jpg

    I like that a lot! You did it clean!

    I will check them when I go to reinstall my dash cam. Thank you for the advise!

    I want the switch port for ease of use, but I also know I am not going to install everything at the same time, plus you found a great way to use that useless spot. I finally started putting my park access cards there just to do something with it.

    Thanks! Right now I’m not using all the switches (buttons). They’re wired to the engine bay, ready for relays and whatever is next.

    Another idea I may have to pursue instead. And prewiring them is way better than running each time. During our gap in time here I was looking at making my own distro block setup LOL.

    This forum is the worst sometimes.

    Looks really good. What did you use for wire? Thinking that since those are no load switches that you could probably get away with cat6 which is 4 pair of 24ga. I think cat5 is 28ga.

    no, I’ve done the tow/haul just to see what it will do. I haven’t gotten the PC delivered yet. Install should be in a couple of days. Should have clarified!

    Check the build link in my signature.
    How’s the clearance from the tire to the UCA with the factory BBS rims and those tires? I’m thinking about upgraded UCA’s but there’s not much room to spare with the factory BBS offset.

    That’s exactly what it is doing. It’s just opening the throttle sooner. All it’s doing is say at 25% throttle input, it’s opening the throttle body 35%.
