I've been meaning to post this since thanksgiving :roll: I guess I need more time.
This thread is starting with ...intake manifold cleaning. I told myself I was only going to paint the valve cover. Oh well. enjoy.

Summer '11 Stock






Nothing much happened just a dreaded P0421 code. Changed Spark plugs (G-power NGK), tranny and diff oil (generic 4qt GL5), motor oil 5w-20 M1 synth and oil filter. 107K miles.

Update!!! TIME!!! Got some daisies on CL for $60 :mrgreen:
Ride is nice and soft now. No P/S belt, and no Spare/jack 25.4lbs hooray!
Hopefully the old tires that came with them dont blow
They're really old (goodyear something HP). Clear coat is in 80% good.

Why don't you just buy a real tow hook?

Not a priority now and money is going to wheels, tires, suspension right now.
