I did PCV and crankcase breather at the same time a couple of weeks ago. That made no difference. I had to wait to do the rest because I had to order the parts. I put in an MSD coil and wiring kit, cap and rotor, air filter, and E3 plugs.

Before I did the tune-up I was getting 11-12.5 mpg HIGHWAY, and I drive very reasonably. That amounts to about 75-80 miles per 1/4 tank.

I haven't calculated the change yet, but so far I'm at 70 miles driven on a fresh tank and I haven't cracked 1/8 of a tank. We'll see, but I'm guessing that I added about 3-4 mpg. Tank god.

Cleaned the rest of the adhesive tape residue off the cab where the quad window vent visors were.

My heater core has been leaking for 2 months now. So today I finally got around to bypassing it. A few more paychecks and some free time=a new one going in.

The more you post pictures of your truck, the more I consider taking on a new truck payment.

Don't put it off for too long like I did.
I waited too long on mine and I couldn't feel my digits while I was doing it because I didn't have a torpedo heater at the time.

Took it to 90mph at WOT in a 15mph head wind. And it was STILL climbing.
I love my truck.
I can finally spin the tires....in gravel!
Not a single ping!

Ah, its amazing what a tune up can do.

I'm thinking I might wash it today, lot of mud residue on it.

Pounded the bolt holes in my bed flat.
Cut patches for said holes.

Won these babies on ebay tonight

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...SA:MOTORS:1123

Can't wait to get them and see what they sound like.

As you all know I've been screwing with my air system. Last weekend I finished it up AGAIN. Thought I had everything finally tightened up and leak free. I had to buy another pressure switch/relay cause mine got water inside it (supposed to be weather proof). used liquid Teflon to seal things better. Flipped the switch and the compressor came on filled to 150psi and shut off as it's supposed to. While I'm at it I decided to install a LED so when the compressor is triggered on the LED lights up so I know it's running. While I'm messing with that I flip the switch and the compressor comes back on. Of course I'm like WTF?? I only did a quick tap of the horns there's no way it's that low from that. I plug in the gauge and it's down to 60psi. Damn leaks are really pissing me off. I spray it with soap and water to see where the leak is and I don't really see any. While I'm down there I start seeing smoke. Here the damn fuse holder is smoking, the wires coming out of it are getting really hot and smoking. I gotta deal what that crap now. Such a pain in the *** but the fire truck horns will be worth it

Replaced plenum with the hughes kit, modded kegger, replaced roter cap and button, replaced pcv valve, and fresh new oil change! hopefully i can notice a difference with the modded kegger. Anyone else notice a result after they repaired plenum place and modded the kegger?
