If you go the proform route, same process as JKs - just order 2 13" fans instead. JK - why would anyone order the $500 fans as opposed to 2 of the sub-$100 proform ones? Are we talking Chinese-quality? :) Also - what happens to the belt?

Ah much better picture, thanks. That cognito kit is a bit pricey for what it ends up being - what's the price/performance difference between the cognito vs napa premium? I realize it's a bit subjective - but my wallet's been pinged $200 each time... for every single thing I've done to the...

My dad had Maaco do my old Blazer S-10 when someone keyed my car (didn't you love high school?) They matched the paint exactly, couldn't tell the difference. My buddy took his Merc Tracer into the same shop for a teal to anodized blue job. Exterior looked great but there were runs in the...

I asked about this about a month ago, being nervous about the potential for coilovers and all those fun, fun parts about shocks. Turns out, this is a simple bolt-on procedure. I'd install the rears first, as they are the easiest. Rear shock: 1. Remove the wheel and get the truck on jack...

Sorry for my ignorance here, but I have the same exact issue (and I've had my alignment done twice in 2 years - to the point of my tires getting eaten on the edges both times!) The kits you pasted above look like a bunch of bolts and nuts. Is it as simple as locating these parts and bolt-on?

Can anyone go through the entire process to swap out the filter and fluid? Any gaskets? Pan bolts size? Autozone claims 10 3/10 Quarts of ATF. Any preferred brands for this?

Which accel coil did you get?

What kind of shop? I always prefer to get things locally if I can help it. It's not that I'm afraid of the Internet... I just like to see things in person.

Yeah, I realize that the bigger cable is better, but I have a whole crapload of 4g laying around :lol: I've got a big dumb stereo, but it's only pushing 1200W total :yesnod: I think I'll just go with the 4g for now and if I don't see any improvement with the light dimming (I get it when I...

Ah good deal. Thanks for your input. Did most of you go with big daddy 0 or 1/0 or just stick with the more available 4g?

Lemme help you with an edit: Stock is just enough to run the truck sufficiently. I'm confused by the wiring diagram. Positive goes from battery to alternator. Check. Negative goes from battery to chassis. Check...ish. Cable goes from engine block to chassis. Where? Same spot? It...

I'm not sure I agree with them. I don't think it's worth an extra $7000. Then again, if it truly is USD, your exchange rate is killer right now, since our dollar sucks so bad :lol If you're paying cash I'd take that extra $7000 and put some dope wheels and a boomin system in the older one...

You'd be surprised how little mileage a sportbike gets you when you learn to ride properly, lol. My Ducati got 62 mpg when I first got her. I'm lucky to break 30 now. Every little bit helps on the truck. I drive it very conservatively, but unfortunately I don't have a trailer that can hook...

Whew, that efan mod is pricey! I had no idea! Can you really gain much MPG/HP from that mod? Seems like it'd take an age to recoup almost $400 on that. The pcm tune sounds like a good idea. Would it need another tune after additional mods (efans, pulleys, etc)?

There's quite a few minor differences. Different trim and such. Mileage and condition are more important differences to me. Is there $7000 less mileage and wear on the 04?

Unless you're willing to splurge on moly synthetics (Motul, Royal Purple, AmSoil) - I'd say stick with Shell Rotella T from Wal-Mart. $16 a gallon and highly rated from real-world testing. Also, start doing the changes yourself, it takes 20 minutes and cleanup is minimal. Your soft benefit...

I think I'll go with the catback system, I've been looking at that anyway. Headers seems like a project I don't want to budget for (time or money) right now! Thanks both of you.

The difference between a 10W and a 5W oil is pretty nominal, especially in Alabama. You may notice a cold cranking difference if you moved to Canada. Lower numbers mean "thinner". In a multi-weight oil, this means it's 5W (thin like water) cold, and then 30W (thick like honey) at operating...

Thanks for the details! For 2WD models, there is only a rear diff, and it takes 3 QT of 75W90. The two screws are 3/8 square-head. You can just use the ratchet to take it off and on. No need for the pump on the rear, there's plenty of clearance to squeeze the bottle in. When you get 3QT...

JK - think the Yukon was an exception? Ditto on the "easier" part - I don't know if it's even possible to get the trim off without lowering your column all the way down. Maybe energ wasn't referring to his own...
