Default I'm back!!!...Finally

Hey all, I know it's been awhile since I've been on, been busy. I've also been busy working on my truck. Some of you already know that I have a 2000 Dak Sport w/ the 2.5, but I can assure you it is not the same truck it was a few months ago. Below are just some of the things that I've done to it and plan on doing to it. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!


Suspension: Front and Rear Belltech sway bars, Belltech links, Energy control arm bushings, XRF ball joints, Moog coil springs, Moog inner/outer tierod, KYB Monomax front shocks, Monroe SensaTrac Load Adjusting back shocks, Energy leaf spring bushings

Motor: Rebuilt at 233k, bored .030 over, port and polished head, 4.0 TB, 4.0 TB spacer, homebrew ram intake w/ custom heat shield, 180* stat, A/C delete

Future Projects: EBC 3GD Sport Rotors, EBC Yellowstuff 4000 Kevlar pads, drum to disc conversion, full exhaust, Posi rear end

Default I got lucky

I got lucky I decided to recheck my presser and the second time they were just fine so no need.

The gage I think had a bad seal the second one was a good gage.

They were rentals from autozone and those things get bashed around.

Ah well that's good news. Yeah rentals from Autozone are pretty much a toss up if you get a good one or not. have you done a leak down test? that is what prompted me to rebuild my motor, i was leaking about 67%, mostly through my rings.
