I filled mine up with a tank of supreme today... ouch 
It was pingin like a **** this mornin, so I thought i'd give er some good stuff again... Took about 10 km down the road and it was purrin like a kitten again(well, roarin like a lion maybe 
). I couldn't beleive the difference the supreme makes in it when it's pingin bad.... It's just like a woman, high maintenance and likes the pricey things lol... like the sayin goes, 'if it's got **** or tires, it's gonna cost ya money' 
oh, and I pulled the airbox off dad's truck tonight, surprise surprise, guess whats in there? I think he wants me to get my plenum fixed and then do his... maybe I'll have an extra set of hands for the job though....

If thats the case with the keyways, Couldnt I just take the t-chain off where it is when get down to it? as long as i dont rotate the cam or crank, itll be the exactly the same as if i hadnt replaced it?
or should i still make the notches line up?

Changed the Oil and Trans Fluid/Filter, and ran a compression check 125-135 psi across all 8cyl. But, Uh Oh, Metal shavings in the trans pan! Seems to have gained some sort of power but every vehicle I've killed runs great before it dies... Still have another trip to Illinois coming up. Let's see how that goes.

Broke the drivers side tie rod end yesterday going down this back road to go ride my dirt bike. Took two hours to get a tow down to my friends house and he picked me up a tie rod end when he was in town. It actually wasn't bad, the tow was free because of my extended warranty.

I took off the black strip on my tailgate and the double sided tape left marks and I couldn't get it off. I tried goo gone, gas and lighter fluid with no luck. Got that wheel and had it done within 10mins.
