    So turns out compressed air + forgetting to take the bulb out of the headlight while trying to get moisture out was a bad idea. lol thats why i keep spare parts around.

    Started trying to take my tips out and after about 3 hours of hammering and turning, finally gave in and will have to pay a garage to do it. As you can see in the photos, I didn't have must rust and actually the tips would move back and forth with ease but only managed to get them to move out a 1/4 inch. Funny thing is, the mechanic will probably get them off in less that a minute and charge me more than $50 dollars.

    Yea the corner lenses are. They are actually leaking from the back corner. I tried to take them apart and reseal with the same leak spot. So i'm searching for some clear or oe ones to lightly smoke them.

    On mine i cut the clamp off and cut the tip and the pipe right at the expansion slot. Pulled out extra that was in the muffler easily and inserted 2.25" pipe and welded back together with new tips.

    Saturday I replaced the intake gaskets on the truck and yesterday I replaced the trans filter and fluid with a bottle of stop slip on the GP. So far so good.

    Today, I'm trying to fix my sunroof, for some reason it isn't getting any power and I'm trying to figure out why my windows only roll down with the headlights on *sigh*
