Dans Truck
now what to do about my parking situation. I want to be able to park in the garage because it's heated. BUT, if i have to let the truck run for several minutes before and after driving, that's gonna be a problem.
i went out tonight and let it idle for about 5min. the garage was filled with exhaust. I stunk of exhaust so bad just from walking out there that i had to change my clothes when i got back home. I was thinking of rigging up some sort of hose to vent the exhaust out a window or something.
any other thoughts?

They make flexable rubber exhaust tubing.I would back in the truck and cut a hole through the wall just big enough for this tube and support it (so if you drive off it just pulls off the pipe)This is how we dyno'd it at the shop with the door closed on cold days.
Any H/C type of vehicle will do what yours is doing.The cold weather makes it alot worse in smell and fumes.

Dan if you are considering a remote starter. Check out the Bulldog security Delux 500. It has a turbo cool down timer built into it. Basicly you stick the truck in P shut off ignition, take your keys, and walk away. The timer will shut the truck off after 5 minutes or whatever you set it at. You can get them off ebay for $80, it's a really nice two way radio start set up.

if you touch a single wire on that truck adding one more electronic piece of crap... you get what you deserve, I'm sorry.
That thing is an electrical fire waiting to happen..... you should be looking to take electronic stuff out to help allievate the problems, not add more.
Don't be lazy, go outside, start the truck and let it warm up. Or, park it in the garge and put a tube on the exhaust and deal with that.

I wouldn't do it... you're asking for another problem

j/k
BTW: I remember the truck being fucked after your stereo install, but it sounds like Turbo Zone did alot of rewiring? Without opening a can of worms WTF did they do, seems like the wiring should have been pretty simple???

There are some bad wiring jobs in the truck but they are mine. little **** like the mirror blinkers and the tailgate lock etc. The wires on the pcm that were cut/spliced whatever were dont years and years ago by the guy who initially installed my whipple. I did a bad job hooking those wires back up. When i said bad job, i mean, not pretty.
So, I don't think hooking up a remote starter would be a horrible idea. I wanted one ever since i bought the truck but just haven't done it yet. We'll see. It's just a thought.
Back on the subject of the truck and how it runs. I let it warm up in the parking lot tonight for a solid 10min. Then i drove for 4-5mi without going into boost. As soon as i got on the highway i passed the car in front of me. 40-90 happens very fast. holy ****. lol
