Tell me about it. Because of the pressure to not use water to even DRINK, I've started to use waterless wash but it's a pain in the ***...

Oil Change. Changing plugs and wires. Had the old window tint removed to pass the stupid Maryland Safety Inspection.

I installed my new 6LE grille today. I plastidipped behind the grille too, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Really hoping warm weather gets here soon, I'm really starting to feel the itch to drive it again

^^If you do just e-mail me, we have a vinyl piece to go over the one you have I'd just give to you at cost (I think it's like $15 shipped, I can check).

Pulled the car out for an audio install, but ended up pretty much turning right back around and parking it. Started overheating. Guessing it's either a faulty temp sensor, a bad thermostat, a clogged radiator, or a bad water pump. Probably going to take it apart this weekend and start the process of trial and error.

Ordered a new AC Delco Truck alternator and weatherpack connector for it. My new HID kit came in and my new grille is sitting in the back seat.

Had planned to take the maiden spring voyage today. Weather was supposed to be decent. Then it changed its mind and went back to 30/rain crappy. Another day I suppose.

Spring time start up. Checked the oil, checked the coolant, tire pressure, looked underneath for any leaks and fired her up. Drove to the store and put a few gallons of fresh 93 in the tank and back to the garage. Ready for summer

I put about 3/4 quart of Lucas pure synthetic oil stabilizer in her , because it's going to be getting very hot here in AZ and I wanted to test its performance. So far it seems to run much quiter and smoother threw the entire rpm range. I think I'm going to stay with the pennzoil HM 5-30 and a 1 qrt of the Lucas pure synthetic oil. I even lubed my AR with it today to see how it works under that type of heat/stress

Plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, and coolant temperature sensor. Then replaced the wheel bearings again with Timken's. Need to do oil change tomorrow. I'll save rear brakes and pads for next weekend.

Just wanted to ask. What RPMs are you guys running with 4:10/4:11s. I'm not real sure what my gears are yet. the seller said they were 4:11s. I'm at 3200 rpms at 60 mph in 4th gear. And 1900 rpms at 70 mph in 6th gear. ????
