They're still big floor jacks, but they need some TLC bad.

You gonna get crushed nurga

I'm no pro mechanic myself, but wanted to show that most stuff of a car is just a couple of bolts and not as complicated as people think.
I was gonna do one on changing the differential fluids, but it is so simple that there is zero need to. I am gonna try and change the PCV, cabin air filters, and fuel filter this afternoon(not sure if it is in the tank on this truck). Hopefully the shocks come in before I get out of class because I definitely need them
ETA: No cabin air filters. My 2005 Tahoe did not have one either, but my buddy's 02 Suburban did. Looking around on the internet, 2003 was the last year that cabin air filters were installed.

Cool thread.

Im 87% sure that its inside the drivers side rail, just needing the quick disconnect tool to release from the line.

Yeah, I just picked one up. I've got to find my flare nut wrenches before I get started though. Oddly enough, the PCV is a dealer-only part. I'll pick one up when I get the bump stops later today

FWIW,This is the best fuel system cleaner available.
Bet i could get that vortec to smoke.

I'm pretty good with mechanical stuff like suspensions and brakes, but engines and electrical stump me
Really not any harder than suspension/brakes. A good manual is worth its weight.

Are you sure on this? My '08 Tacoma (and those before and those after) has one behind the glove box.
You mean like this?

I heard the Mopar stuff was even better.

My throttle body had coolant hoses running through the bottom of it, so I couldn't completely remove it. I just had to clean it in place
Can plug and bypass that hose. Just keeps the TB from icing in very cold climates and gets in the way otherwise.
That 3M cleaner is PEA based just like Techron. I use both depending on whichever one I can get cheaper or is offering a rebate.

I figured those hoses were for a colder climate truck because I haven't seen them before. I pulled one off and went, "shite, HOT COOLANT ERRYWHERE!"
About to get on these shocks and bump stops. Just waiting a couple of minutes for the PB Blaster to do it's thing. Hopefully it doesn't start raining too hard.
Just ordered some Hawk LTS pads and stainless lines. Also, this just came in the mail:

You got both front and rear bilsteins? 5100s?
Posted on 8/20/14 at 4:19 pm to PapaPogey
