Well I stand corrected. I have never seen many pics of your mods. Snap some more and use them this next week for all or your avatar changes.

I personally wouldn't paint a harmonic balancer, it makes it out of balance. Worst thing that could happen is the snout of your crankshaft could snap

Well you do have to know what your doing ! If I where YOU I wouldn't do it either...8000 miles on it runs smooth as silk. In fact this thread isn't about the color of my UDP's I was asked a question and provided the answer.....

Good to hear but makes no sense to me why swapping did the trick or so it seems.

Think it had something to do with the way Tom was holding his mouth when he swapped them....

I don't know either.... if it doesn't come back, then maybe I just rattled the sensors around during removal, or maybe one is slightly more sensitive than the other and it was picking up the charge from the alternator.... who the hell knows LOL, I'm only speculating. I'm just hoping the dang thing doesn't come back- although it is handy having my Aeroforce guages and being able to clear the code without plugging my tuner in constantly, it did get old quick.

I forgot we could do that with the Aeroforce gauges. I will have to give that a try if my code comes back.

Yep, sure can.....

1) push both buttons in at same time to get into the menu
2) push and hold left button until "view codes" or something like that is highlighed, then push right button to select
3) after viewing the code, push left button until "clear codes" or something like that is highlighted- once it's highlighted, push the right button to clear it

Well, quick update for anyone interested......

Been two days, and still no codes. This is after simply swapping the pass side sensor with the driver side sensor. This is the longest I've gone with no codes in probably a month..... I'm guessing that my problem is "fixed" at this point- although I don't know what the hell I did to fix it really.
