Did the throttle blade mod, finally! Well, sort of. I only trimmed half of that diffuser off. Heard that if you get rid of it completely, it can cause issues as well as a touchy throttle. Half cut off, I noticed the truck is VERY responsive, but not jumpy. I am very happy with it. Definitely worth 15 mins of my time. Too bad I can't really enjoy it, stupid gas prices jumped up 20 cents last night. Up to $4.29 here... Gonna have to cut some leg holes in the floor board and use leg power like the flintstones here pretty soon!

Got my system charged back up, now my A/C blows ice cold (~50F at the vents!) Now I just need to figure out my heater door issue, and my HVAC will be fully functional.

Even with it stuck on split mode, the dash vents blow cold enough to make my fingers numb. F-ing awesome.
