you mean you dont have rub? can you go lock to lock when steering?

lol, almost. I hear it hit the fender at the very last second. I hardly ever full lock my wheel so for DD and my weekend warrior trail riding, I have no rub. I can make U-turns without it rubbing too for a good example.

Finally washed it. If I don't work this weekend, might dig into it to see if I can track my noises down.

Sent through an exorcism and salt flavored shotgun shells.

Well, I got my dad's stethoscope. Narrowed it down to the Dizzy bearing of Lifter/Rocker in the drivers side valve cover. It would be freaking awesome if it were the dizzy. I' could just call Rockauto up and tell them to send me a new one since this has a lifetime warranty...however, I feel it will be the latter of my two options.

On a side note. I repainted my grille insert yesterday. The Paint faded and started to chip on it so I washed and cleaned it, threw some primer on it and a coat of bedliner. I finally ended those stupid plastic clips, too. Three of them broke while I was taking it off so I ended up using zip ties. I hope I can pull the plenum and get that cover off to see what's going on in there, soon. That way I can get some parts ordered up and fix it and have nothing but pure dual exhaust sound back!!!

More an update for Fauss, but I'll put my edits on my thread and let him have the originals and edit them if he wants to. Finally got to put faces to some names the other weekend. Was fun, had a good time hanging out with all that showed up.





This picture is an older pic however, one of my other friends pointed out it reminded him of another picture he'd seen before. Needless to say, I think we found it....

Well...this piece is probably the biggest pain in the ass to remove. We eventually got it, though! Broke almost every hose attached to it, though because they were all dry-rotted. Will be fun finding the replacements for them all...>.>
Haven't had time to go over anything with my dad yet, however the rocker arms were loose and I could shake them, replicating the noise it does while running. Nothing seems to be damaged, however. My dad suggested I may need my valves adjusted however, he hasn't been over in person yet to see for himself. We shall see what happens. To be continued...

Yes. Removing the intake sucks. Sucks worse than #6 in my opinion. Worst bit for me was removing the two heater hoses behind the intake. I should've cut them and replaced.

I'll be replacing them anyhow. They were all rotted. Putting it all back together should be interesting....when I actually find out what I need to do..
