Default What got done on your truck today?

Well mine was Yesterday but she got a 1/4" timing bump without an s shaped wrench. Talk about a performance increase.

For us intercooled guys it's easy to remove the two bolts on the vacuum/power steering pumps n slide back a few inches without unhooking any lines. non IC guys I suggest you get a wrench as the pumps hard to remove.

SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY?

I took my spare off and put my good tire back on after having it repaired. That was the only thing I did to my truck today

Nice I rarely tow with mine. but when I do it's a decent load.

Removed the muffler! I can't quite justify the cost of a complete 4" system yet so went the "low buck" route. It could use a resonator now to get rid of the rifling sound under WOT but then I'm back to shelling our more cash. The performance benefit of the delete has convinced me to keep saving and get a Diamond Eye 4" turbo back next.

I put a Denny T stage 2 pin in. Big difference. Yes I have the gov spring no I just havent put it in yet but it is a huge difference from the stock pin.

Added 5inch turbo back exhaust, replaced the radiator and hoses associated with it, changed the fuel filter, and started on some body work.

Sorry guys, just realized I was in the first Gen section.

Sold the first gen about 2 months ago but undercoated the rocker panels on the 97 today and gave her a good bath.
