• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

O2 sensor on power up kit

I bought an 08 TE510 with power up kit. The O2 sensor is still there but the wires are not connected. What is the advantage of putting the plug that comes with the kit in rather than simply having the sensor disconnected? It seems to run well, but I may not know the difference.

Thanks!
 
Only advantage I found with my 310 was avoiding damage to the expensive O2 sensor! If you have the plug, I'd use it, if not, not likely going to notice any performance difference.
 
The O2 sensor has an internal electric heater that keeps exhaust gas from condensing on the sensor element. The internal heater can get as hot as 1000F. If you leave an un-power O2 sensor installed for a prolonged period, it can be damaged.

Best to remove it. On the 08's if you need to make ECU FB1 fuel adjustment, you do need to temporally reconnect the sensor.
 
In addition to that i would guess you get slightly better flow from the pipe with it out. Husky are notorious for having restrictive (quiet) pipes to start with.
