Dragoon1101..... nice!! so much work. How about a write up in the builds section. People keep asking about the LS swap into 4WD. ChuckNTruck did a 2WD (Project Sleeper Blazer).

At first I put in some basic drop-in LED bulbs






But I didn't like how the running tail and brake light output was nearly identical light output, could hardly tell the difference at night when the brakes were applied. After seeing some LED's on Mustangs at work, I did some modding and came up with these and they work AWESOME.











Got a thread on here about the conversion.

My engine has seemed to be lacking a little power and feeling sluggish lately. Stopped by AZ and picked up some Lucas fuel injector cleaner. Put it in the tank and filled up. After driving around for the last couple of days I can see a huge difference in performance. I'm not usually a big fan of additives but this stuff has worked really well. I might make it a habit of adding some of this occasionaly.

So I got my entire cooling system replaced with OEM AC Delco parts last week.. New intake, water pump, radiator, etc all that jazz... Now my truck is throwing a CEL and my oil pressure gauge is dropping to 0 at idle and doesn't go above 10 when I drive...

I paid $1000 for this truck and already dumped about $3000 into it over the past year. Am I fighting a losing battle here?

I did not, I just dropped it off at the mechanics who did the work because if they ****ed up something that wasn't ****ed up before they did my cooling system, this isn't on me.

I had that problem right after doing an oil change, found my oil filter wasnt tightened all the way. caused me to lose oil, and it caused the same thing with my gauge...

I didn't see any oil leaks in my drive way, but I hope its something that simple and it hasn't given me any engine damage.

I've noticed this with fuel additives, as well. I use one about every oil change, and I pay the extra nickel for the 89 octane.

Quite different from oil additives...never have used. There's already enough additive in the first place, and it thickens the viscosity dramatically...enough to push it out of grade.
