Well, just an update. Got the zzp oil volume kit installed. What a PITA! The outer two bolts for the oil filter adapter were easy enough to get to, but the top inner bolt was a pain! Probably didn't help that I was doing it laying on the floor of the garage...But anyway, that done, and oil change done. Haven't noticed any more oil leakage. Just gotta fix the tranny leak now... Looks like the dipstick seal is where it's leaking from. I've got a new filter, gasket, and the trans-go shift kit, along with a couple gallons of synthetic fluid to do all that, but it's a little lower on my to-do list.
Started working on the window motor/regulators last night. (forgot to mention in my OP, that all but the drivers window are held up by cardboard shims, lol, ordered 3 motor/reg assemblies from rock auto for $35 each...not bad.) Got the front-pass side done,except that the pass side window switch doesn't work...thought I got a bad motor for a minute...but the driver switch works...$35 for a new switch!? I also have to get a box of the plastic push clips, because about 1/2 of mine were broken off. I'll get the rear motors installed today.
I also finally(3 WEEKS!!) got a replacement caliper from autoanything. So I'll try to get that installed today.
Also have a new thermostat(it needs it bad! Whole front of the radiator is blocked with cardboard and this sucker barely gets above 160) and new aluminum elbows. But I've been looking around and I might decide to do a coolant flush. I'll have to go check on the condition(and type..) of coolant in it now.
I also have a spectre air filter from autozone that I might try to just shove on the TB, for a short-ram intake...
Also have new plugs....but I think I'll wait and try this seafoam procedure before the next oil change and then do plugs and wires and coils along with the oil change after the seafoam.
Anyone tried that seafoam procedure? I'd never heard of dumping it in the oil, and sucking it in the intake... sounds kinda sketchy, but I could see it working...Probably couldn't hurt after 163k miles...
