wow... well i left the house about 1:30pm, went to the shop and changed the oil on the 91 s-10 blazer(daily driver beater) simple, in and out in 20 mins.

then i went to town and talked to the guys at the advance auto (gotta keep up the bs with them, it make the parts cheaper, trust me) then i go to work to put a new pass side mirror on the security gaurd's 97 GMC Yukon with would have gone a lot smoother if he hadnt tried to help and lost my adpapter and 10MM socket in the door, so i had to remove the whole door panel inner and outer, then go back to advance and get a magnet, went back and finished up. Works great. That one was my service call (makes me some side money)

then i meet up with the wife at my moms and swap vehicles, i took the marauder to a guys who also has one (but his is stock) and i took him for a ride, he said "god dam! i thought mine was fast but... not anymore"

go back to my moms throw new trico NEOFORM wiperson the marauderand pick up the Ram (the wifey drives it most of the time) and goback to the shop.

I started work on the Ram, popped the hood and smokeda cigarette thinking where to start. I took the twin intake off and sprayed them down with the cleaner soap and set them aside to soak in, then i started on cleaning the "forking throttle body" very simple to remove, except the cable thats not the throttle im not sure which it is, so i cleaned it front and back opened and closed and then behind it as much as i could reach.
Then the spark plugs, they sucked!! The drivers side was easyer than the pass side, and i thought the drivers side had more clutter to work around. Well that was a pain in the *** long process.
Take off nut to coil, pull coil, blow out top of spark plug with air, remove, anti-seez new Bosch iridium +4s and install, put boot back on, replace nut. Eight times.
Changed the oil and filter (and by the way does anyone else get foamy crap in the oil fill area and on the bottum of the cap? is it bad?) added half a quart of lucas oil stabilizer and filled her up with fresh Northland oil and ready to go. OH WAIT, almost forgot the can of seafoam, gotta keep the injectors clean. Finally reoiled the filters (yeah twin intake) then finally go home, got home about 11:45 pm eating pepperoni working on beer #3 and typing to you guys.

I just took the old plugs home cause i didnt have the camera with me, but they dont look so good.








Dam i feel like i got a hell of a TO-DO list done today.

 

Quite ambitous. I, on the other hand, have been trying to get up the nerve to go was my truck for 2 weeks now. Although one thing I miss about my old ford is all the monkey projects I got to do on the day off.

 

Damn, I got tired just reading what you did. LOL.

Just be thankfull it's all over.
