Removed my passenger headlight bulb, since the running light and highbeam weren't working, to find that neither of the filaments were burnt out, put it back in and wiggled the connections and it came back on no problem.

Also, checked the front and rear diff fluid. Both clean and full. Then moved to break both of the O2 sensors free, no problems there, then moved to check the transmission... Wth is that? What do I use to remove the fill and drain plugs? A 1" ratchet won't fit, too small and threads on the outside, so not much to grip.

Well, that 93 Octane & tune does seem to be a nice improvement... and it's only an additional $7 a tank.

Googled it and it's a giant allen key. Supposedly 17mm, but that's a little bigger than 1/2"

Going to shop around for something today.

Also, bought a jug of Valvoline Synthetic for $10, last one at Walmart and a 2 3/8" Tachometer. Installing after my coffee

I changed out sway bar link ends, track bar bushing, sway bar bushings, and tie rod ends with energy suspension products as well as replaced my radiator, hoses, belt tensioner, serpentine belt and thermostat.





Sorry for some reason it makes you open pictures on a new page, there nothing special.

Well used my Ram today to save my friend on the mountain. He has a bagged s10 and somehow the rear axle control arm became unwelded and ripped apart the axle shafts. There was axle lube and diff lube all over the ground. We even tried moving it off to the side of the road but eventually the driveshaft came lose from the tranny and fail. Oh well another attempt tomorrow to rescue the s10 again...
