Nope, i don't even know what size the jack is. it got me through to installing the 33"s but thats it, it works for his 96 f150 and my moms escape, but it doesn't work for his 00 super duty and now mines it's something that has been on my to-do list but haven't gotten around to it

What were you experiencing? I have never noticed any difference cleaning the MAF sensor.

Hesitation on acceleration and felt like engine was missing on acceleration.

Bought new two-piece cowl for F150 and new Bilstein HD shocks for the Tahoe. I think the Tahoe needs new tail lights as the OEMs are starting to delaminate and look like crap...

cleaned the rims, and finally after 3 years put a spare tire in the bed along with a jack, ect. truck is to low to put it under it. guess since i now carry a spare i will have a flat soon. tomorrow i might clean my maf as i just re-oiled my filter a few days ago.

trying to find a smaller pulley for my alternator to speed it back up a hair. also wondering if the bosch ir fusion plugs are wroth anything. i found a really good deal on them, and buy that i mean like $3 each after tax. i have just had problems with bosch of course that was the plat. plus 4. but these have the same look with the four grounds, which is also overkill.

anyways thats what i did today.

i pulled my tires off and painted my calipers silver. I actually like it that way more than red!

Cleaned engine bay for the first time, 102,000 miles. Read up some and watched a handful of You Tube videos. Was pretty easy, looks a heck of a lot better.

Cleaned Airraid filter as well.

Hmmm, might have to try it again this weekend. Thanks.

My truck has been idling rough lately. Also I have 64,000 with factory plugs. Need to make some time to change the plugs soon.
