Crawled, OK rolled, underneath it and hit every fitting I could get the grease gun on. Only things I couldn't grease were the rear and front drive shaft u joints. I need to get a needle fitting for the front ones and actually drop the rear shaft to get onto the fittings for it.
Also tried to find the source of a clunking in the front end. I think it may be the upper control arm's rear bushing on the drivers side. It only clunks when I have my foot on the brake to slow down or when going from drive to reverse or reverse to drive with my foot on the brake. Also when the front end flexes. All u joints are new this year and it makes the same noise with the sway bar disconnected. Diagnosing this one is fun all by myself

Swapped out my injectors today for a set of 784's I bought off a forum member. Overall, it was an easy project, especially since I was following the step by step write up dukie564 has on here. Cleaning the injector ports took forever but turned out nice and clean.
After the swap, I noticed a drop of around 100-200rpm at idle, along with slightly better throttle response and faster/smoother startup. I checked for any fuel leaks and did not see anything. I drove around for half an hour and checked everything over again. I am noticing a slow seeping of fuel around a few of the injectors, but very minimal. Is this normal? Are the injectors properly seated in the ports?

Well that's no good. My speakers are dying off one by one, and I'm having some issues with the power windows, so I've got some wire work to do as well.
