Noticed the new ps pump had a heck of a wobble.. it's making noise. It'll be swapped this weekend.
Careful, I've seen reman pumps just completely fall apart out of the box lolQuote:

The hid's do get slightly higher in the color temperature as they age, right? On first startup my 5000k's didn't look exactly pure white. Slightly towards 4300
Yes, the coating will burn in a little on the bulbs after a hour or two of use then you will have your final color.Quote:

Ps.. I like how I get more responses on a "got a bent ps pulley" than I did to "started the car w/o oil" from yesterday.
It's a 3800...oil is optional.Quote:

Cleaning the impalas engine bay, never Been done before and its nasty. Basically for the upcoming lim job
ASE is updated every 5 years, so at most the information is from 2009. That'd be up to date enough for me, Dex 6 was around then. That said I do agree it's a bit vague because it groups all of the ATF fluid temperatures together.Quote:

Today I ran over a whole bunch of cow **** in the road from a farmer whos **** spreader was leaking. So I had to blast the wheel wells and rockers good again because the car smelled of ****. I need to find what to coat the rockers with for this winter. I was just gonna use a can of black spray paint.
I also picked up a TB gasket and some carb and choke cleaner for my moms car and oil and filter for the Avalanche.

Don't coat it with any type of paint unless its por 15. Paint seems to just flake after a winter and not help anything. I'm gonna just coat my underbody with grease and call it done. It won't rust as long as grease is on it
