Thanks. Today was somewhat warm so I set about replacing the headlight film. My last set was X-pel but I wasn’t really happy with how they turned out (couple of large bubbles around the edges). I couldn’t find and X-pel kits so had to settle for Laminex. First step was to remove the old film...

Yeah, those are the best. I am going to look at the factory manual to see if I need to move the window to get better compression of the weatherstrip. The procedure for adjusting everything to get the weatherstripping set right is fairly well documented. The rail only allowed me to move it about...

I ended up taking a drive with the top up. I can recommend doing this occasionally so you can find problems you might not otherwise. Interior seems quieter now, however I did notice some wind noise coming from the passenger side at the back of the window. Got home and had a look, there was a bit...

Not too familiar with the NAs. Trying to think of what I have read, maybe the MAF/air flow sensor? Don't know if they have a IAC valve but might check that as well if so.

Any plans for replacing items like wheel bearings?

Last week when I was doing the transmission fluid change I looked around underneath as normal. The last time I had to remove the FM butterfly brace center section I left it out to see if I noticed any difference (I didn’t). I had left the wings that connect the center piece to the frame rails. I...

Drove her to C&C this morning. Shifted like buttah!

The first time I put it in, it took about two weeks before things smoothed out (I don't know what was in there before that). I am curious to see how this second application does. It has been getting somewhat difficult going into first at a rest if the car isn't moving, shift into second has been...

Rain came back so no test drive. Shifting into reverse and first to maneuver her back into her slot felt good though.

Transmission has been feeling notchy so I figured it might be time to change the fluid. Looked back through my maintenance log and couldn’t find when I had changed it the first time. After perusing my build thread I saw I had done it soon after buying the car. Looked in my log and I had a...

Changed the transfer case oil, was happy the old stuff came out looking almost new (had approx 43,000 miles on it). Checked the trans fluid level while I was under there and taped up a crack in the front below-bumper plastic with some Gorilla tape. Cleaned my air filter as well.

Pish, zombies and hillbillies will just shrug that off. :cool:

No shotgun as yet. Haven't found the one I want in stock anywhere (at least not at a reasonable price).

Cool! Count me in, I'll let you know soonest if I can't be there (hopefully next year won't be a repeat of this year). Looking at that house, do I need to bring a banjo? :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Mark, I'll give that a shot. The wife found other signs of the little bastards in the garage today so I guess I'll be digging into other stuff to see how far they've gotten.

Sometimes I feel like I am almost smart. After some research yesterday for the muffler gasket, I thought I might have posted the last one I used. Sure enough I had a picture so I checked my local O’Reilly’s and they showed it as being in stock. Picked that up yesterday afternoon so I was ready...

On my way to some babysitting duties last night, she suddenly got louder. I suspected the muffler clamp I had tightened had broken, but when I had a look once things cooled down I discovered that both bolts for the flange connecting the exhaust pipe to the muffler had come loose. One was...

While I was underneath changing out my O2 sensors I noticed there were signs of leakage at the slip-joint on the exhaust pipe. I threw some Kroil on there to make sure I could loosen the joint easily. Today I got back underneath and tightened that clamp up after putting some assemble lube on the...

I’m running a bit behind on updating this. Heard back from the MS builder, turns out that the AEM came out about the same time as the CAN module was made. Something he told me was that each piece has a discrete address which must be in the CAN module for it to function. Unfortunately this means...

Wasn't aware of the updated breather, I'll look into that. Thanks. I have used Redline 75w90 from the first time I changed it. I always fill gear housings until the fluid comes out of the fill plug. Based on the weight of the remaining fluid in the container I suspect it did actually take...
