Any word on when the painted parts will be ready?

 

No word yet, but that's Ok with me, I'm glad they're at least over there. How do you clean the MAF? I've never done that. I wonder if that's contributing to my engine stumble? It only happens once every four months or so, and it only stumbles once, like at a stop in gear.

 

There are 2 of those thing-ama-jig screws. What do you call that head? you remove those after unplugging it and remove the unit. Then spray the wires with electrical cleaner. Let it dry for about 5 minutes and reinstall. I got the cleaner at O'Rielly's. It's about $10, a can is enough to last for years. If you have time, run by and we can do it right quick. Won't take 10 minutes.

I thought of it- Torx head.

 

I just made a habit of cleaning the air filter and the MAF whenever I change the fuel filter, somewhere around 15,000 miles.

 

Just finished mowing. I really need to water the grass. I have to wait until 6PM, stupid city water conservation ordinance.

Is it a torx with a pin in the center, like the torx driver is hollow on the end?

 

well I'll talk to everybody later I' heading out for another Milwaukee run see y'all Monday evening

 

Got me some triple time today.

I need to change my fuel filter before I head to Cincnnati in 2 weeks. Any special tools required for this?

 

I just used plastic AC/Fuel line tools similar to these.

 

what the heck do those things do?

 

Well, you use the corresponding size and pop it over the inlet/outlet of the filter and slide it inder the line and it releases the clamping mechanism off the filter and you pull the line. It really is easy once you figure out which sizes work. The blue one works on the tank side of the filter and the grey one on the front side.

 

Nice. Thanks.

 

Good grief! That has not been explained but 50 times in these threads. Maybe you been hanging out at the wrong place!

 

Have a safe trip!

 

Sonofabitch. I need to buy some longer/bigger jack stands. Lifting the front end of my truck up today was *very* interesting...

 

I have some big ones I'll loan you.
