    DIY Stainless Catback

    My exhaust was cobbled together rusting garbage from the cat to the rear axle. I bought some 409 straights and bends and a Dynomax muffler from Summit and made my own. I also made it side exit right behind the tire. I think it turned out pretty good. I'm still working on my stainless MIG skills...

    5th gen CV axles in 4th gen V-8??

    These CVs are extremely durable! I drove mine with torn inner boots for 3 years figuring I would just upgrade them to RCV when they started clicking. Well, they never did and I rebooted them. When I cleaned off the old grease, there was zero wear. They have been great for months so far including...

    What AT tires?

    My 255/80 AT3Ws are great even in the snow. Skinnier tires have increased pressure along the contact patch so they bite better!

    Time for new tires, again, help me decide

    Pizza cutter AT3Ws!!! Only 52lb for E rated. KO3 LT265/70R17 Load Range C are 46lb. I say go for 33s!

    Couple of concerns

    If your shutter is between 20 and 30 mph at light throttle then it's probably transmission slippage. Take a look at the color of your transmission fluid. For the knocking at cold start, it could be a very light piston slap.

    Bumper Popping/Cracking

    What's the overall rust situation with it? What state are you in, a salt state? Is it the same wheel position where it pops? Maybe it's the rack and the jolt is being felt in the bumper frame? Definitely let us know what you find.

    I use Centric rotors.... been using them for 14 years now and have had GREAT results.

    New 03 4.7 with over 300k miles questions.

    It's not horrible but it's not great. I would swap out the fluid.

    Need help/advice about suspension

    I can throw in for JBAs as well. Great build quality and a solid, protected ball joint. Also, give yourself some extra budget and time for what you may find when you tear everything apart. Wiggle every component when it isn't under spring tension. Ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, CV...

    Wipe the dipstick on paper towel and post a pic of what it looks like.

    Where to buy 06+ HL assy endpiece

    I get what they mean 100%. There is a small clip that goes into that trim piece. If you don't have it, you're screwed. I am missing one on one side from the old lights and trim piece when I upgraded to 06+ headlights. The trim piece doesn't come with them and neither do the headlights. Mayyyybe OEM?

    Windows that won't come clean (SOLVED!)

    I used polishing compound and a buffer on my moon roof and it turned out amazing!

    What actually happens to transmission fluid to cause it to need to be changed?

    I just did a complete flush at 220K. It needed it. Looked like a Merlot. Lol. I had nothing to lose as I was getting the 20-30 shudder. After the flush and 1000 miles it's just about gone. I may add a friction modifier to see what happens. I am happy with it. I made a video of the process...
