Finally had the dual in dual out catalytic converter and the dual in dual out flowmaster 70 series installed. Sounds great and runs even better. Decided to not waste my time with the summit/pacesetter shorty headers I bought. I've decided to go with an 09 model when the ram box option is available and will be giving the 99 QC to my son at the end of the year. Told him if he wanted to install the headers I'd help him with it. If he decides not to install them they will be for sale.

yesterday it got the meguiars 3 stage wax job- cleaner, polish and wax- looks a lot better now. Changed the air filter, spark plugs, wipers, new headlight bulbs.

Then I went to get a truck load of mulch for the yard- that is the project today.

This week i replaced my control arm bushings and track bar. Quite an easy job once i figured out how to get the joint back into hole on the DS. My son helped and we had a really fun time working together, i think we both learned alot since this was my first time doing control arm bushings and track bar replacement. Next week when my sway bar kit comes in i will be replacing all those bushings. Can't forget the wifes ride, R&R exhaust manifold gasket, this should be fun. The plenum will be my next big job, i have the Hughes kit waiting for me to tackle the intake. Wish me luck this will be a really big learning experience for me!!!

Give Klasse All-in-One and the Klasse Sealer Glaze a try! If you don't mind putting 3 stages on, You'll love cutting a stage. It's the best stuff I've ever tried.

Replaced the exhaust man gasket on the wifes 05 Dak. Broken bolt. What a pain in the ***. It was a painstaking process but got the job done. Also changed the oil, cleaned the throttle body, and changed the plugs. Over 90K miles and the first plug change, they were gonners. Had fun and now today i get to golf!!!

dropped it off at the shop to have axle seals put in and have a look at my braking issue.

$500 for the seals.
