    I think I'm still in the doghouse from Christmas, I tend to want practical gifts, so I usually buy practical gifts for other people, which came in the form of a hand held vacuum for my wife, she wasn't thrilled.

    Actually my wife wanted it and we specifically went to Costco to get it as it was on sale.

    We have one of those special "pet" model Bissell vacuums. Best vacuum I've ever had. I think it was $50 give or take. I bought it when I was living in the 5th wheel. Pisses my wife off because it works better than the $800 Miele she bought a few years ago. We also bought the special "pet" model carpet cleaner. Can't say enough good about it, too.

    I was all dialed in to getting an updated Edge Juice w/Attitude because they were giving me a decent trade price on my troublesome 2005 box.

    Then I started looking at e-brakes, and everything I found pretty much said this doesn't work with that, etc.. etc.

    Because I need a smart box to do the TC lockup for the e-brake, and that plugs into the OBDII, my options were limited. The Banks kit came with the box at a much better price than the others and going to ATS for their lockup controller box was completely not palatable for me.

    In the end, as much as I really didn't want to go Banks, I ended up with a package that's guaranteed to work together and should do what I need. I don't need the MOST power, but I wanted a modest power boost, on the fly adjustable levels, better mileage if possible, data on a screen, and supplemental braking.

    I found a really low price on the e-brake kit - a higher priced kit due to my "early build mid model year" that still had the older TPS setup on the engine - had another dealer I've used before price match it, then called Banks direct to see what they could do. They gave me the 20% discount on the MAP "sale price" all over the web, and they gave me the same discount deal on the tuner.

    A friend has had a Banks e-brake on his 94 12V for probably 15+ years now and it has held up well. He had a mild tune (well, just injectors really AFAIK) and it's been solid.

    Now let's see if a 48RE with 63K miles on it is still up to the task... Several have told me to squeeze a few more miles out of it before I go have it rebuilt... IF I was bombing the snot out of it, I wouldn't hesitate to build it, but for my towing needs, I think (hope) it will hold up for now.

    P.S.

    If anyone wants a deal on a new Juice w/Attitude CS2 setup, I can still run this through the upgrade program and pass along the deal.

    Basically, it would be something like $200 off their "sale" price.

    If you have a different MY, I could probably call them back and just tell them I bought a different truck...
