I have never been a fan of the Flowmaster mufflers, the resonation at cruise speeds sucks. I am planning on doing magnaflow muffler on mine once I can get the engine swap started

Bought a new ignition switch hoping it would fix my issues with the cluster not working, several hours later and a bald spot on my head from scratching it in pure ignorance, it turned out to be a blown fuse to the radio, tf.....

Yeah I agree with you on that but I didn't like the sound at low end from the magnaflow

been chasing an intermittent p0442 so besides giving the gas cap 6 clicks at fill up, I replaced a section of vacuum hose that was loose and soft, I don't think it was the right kind of hose. ill pick up a new gas cap, even though I don't think that's it. I also fit my left over hose over a broken window washer hose for the rear window, but it was too big, so I think I'll pick up some smaller hose. I don't have a rear wiper, so I think i'll make an arm to flip off tailgaters, and rout the washer to shoot water at them.

Blew a hole in my rear differential on Sunday. Where is the rear differential rebuild thread, I thought I saw it just the other day.
