sometime in the past ...someone posted a link to a webpage that would give you a complete equipment list on a vehicle by entering the vin number... I mean down to heated mirrors and the carpet material... mine was approx 7 pages long. it even told you how many vehicles were produced with...

RT, got a couple of questions for you... got my panels made for the lights and am about ready to install and wire them up... the wiring is nothing but a thang... but routing is a little more of a chore... when wiring from the cigar lighter to the other side ?? did you go overhead...

+1 on Wix... actually Napa Gold (made by wix). It's rated at the top of many oil filter studies. I change every 3000 miles regardless of what the mfg recommends. Oil and filters are relatively cheap, especially if you diy. Oil is the blood of the beast. can anyone recommend a larger...

I've got an 03 Tahoe ... I am second owner. It's got just under 160K miles on it and I'm still on original pads. Original owner did the first 50K and I've done the rest... He gave me all the service records, everything done at one dealer and he never did the pads... and I haven't ...

I've never done these... is it a bolt that's frozen ? or a nut on a bolt ? can you get to the threads ? I've never heard of Anti-seize doing anything to help break loose a frozen nut/bolt. Anti-seize is put on at installation to prevent that.. a penetrating oil is what you need... PB...

Jenna, Ty, anybody ??? I know the goal is to cram in lots of cool air... but I want to cram in lots of cool CLEAN air... anyone seen any comparison specs on filter media.... K&N vrs AEM vrs Volant ??? somewhere I remember reading that K&N was the least restrictive but also it...

I really wasn't impressed with Chevy's method of securing and routing the lines... there is a hard plastic 'guide' made into the tank where the two lines are secured... that 'guide' rubbed both lines in two. I patched there and used a cable tie to hold the lines in place... and the routing past...

so why is it coming and going ???? and what to do about it ??? j:cool2:
