    $500

    for my birthday, i got some money and im hoping you guys can help me bow it all as fast as i can on my money pit, i mean truck.

    i know i need a wideband, and thats definitely first on the list. another member on here sent me his old one that isnt quite working, but hopefully with just a little TLC i can get it up and running again.

    so if i dont have to buy a wideband that leaves me with the dilema of what else to buy?

    should i get some lowering components and make my truck look better?

    get an interceptor or two so i can make sure im not breaking anything and look at all sorts of cool data?

    or is there a way to go faster for a couple hundred that im not thinking of?

    thanks for any suggestions

    I don't wanna jinx you. But you will need an engine or trans or rear end soon. Save it for a rainy day.

    get an interceptor,theyr awesome data machine,is that a word?i have em and wouldnt go without em.full of diagnostic info ,and you can clear all those codes you keep getting.and itll tell ya wich codes they are.I think its a wise choice plus the difference you can use on the parts for the plx I gave ya.I think foggy still has the interceptor tho that he had for sale for like 35 bucks,check him out.then you have more to play with maybe take youre blocks out and lower your torsion bars then get an alignment.have fun bud,and happy bday

    ya, im kinda leaning towards at least getting one interceptor, but its such a better deal if you get two its kinda hard to say no to that... the gauge he has for sale is for older style trucks, so it wouldnt work with mine unfortunately cause that a heck of a deal!!!! im already planning on taking the blocks out when i get some time and have some tools. and my fronts are coilover so i cant just lower the bars, but belltech has some shocks ive been looking at...

    Do the all-n-one gauge and get the PLX sent off for repairs.

    Plc?Its a plx [dm 100 i think ] a/f gauge.nice unit.I think reds saying same as me .get the interceptor all in one ,and fix the plx wideband.I think that would be wise .
