There really is nothing over a digi vs analog.
Mine came with the digi, and the power supply started to fail on me, and a lot of people told me to just go analog, but I like the digi gauges, so I opted to fix it.

so its really all in what you like.

Been having issues with the Jimmy starting up lately. For awhile it would take a while to crank before it actually started. Then while driving, it felt underpowered. Also, gas mileage was horrible...about 8mpg!
In the last couple weeks, Jimmy would not start at all. Figured the first thing I could do was check the spark plugs. After checking two and seeing they were black, I decided to try replacing them. Went with some
Bosch Platinum 4's Bosch Platinum 4's
. Also noticed the PCV valve grommet was torn and open, so decided to replace that as well.





After changing the plugs and replacing the grommet, Jimmy lives!

The only issue I have now is this weird hissing sound from the engine bay. Seems like its coming from the drivers side of the bay. Below is a video and the link to the video.

Also, this combo of tools helped tremendously in changing the plugs out. Picked up the "Toolworks Tune Up Set" from Advance Auto Parts for $12.

Why don't you start a build thread? Not very many people will notice anything here as it is just an area for introductions.

Is there a way to move this thread out of the New Member area and into the appropriate build thread forum?

I guess, since this is pretty much a build already.
