If thats a 5 pin relay with two 87 terminals on it why does it only utilize one of them and then split the wire later? Thats the point of the two terminals is to have two "outputs" if you will... Never understood that pic lol

Usually, they don't mind getting parts off the car if you pay for them... lol

Last time I went to the PaP an old man carried a part into the yard in his pocket that belonged to him to compare to what he was looking for. He didn't tell them he had it.

He couldn't find what he was looking for but had HIS part in his pocket.

They asked him to empty his pockets when he came out and SWORE that he was trying to steal the part.

They put him on trespassing notice because he refused to pay them for the part he'd carried in.

I don't blame them.

******* 'foreigners' run that one.

It's going to vary. I usually measure after I get the springs on.

How good is it that my transmission fluid was Brown like motor oil? Lol
Previous owner never had it changed. I just did a fluid change and filled it back up to cycle the rest of the bad fluid before I replace the filter this weekend. I'll post a pic as soon as I get to the garage lol

Yea 143k miles on the original fluid im guessing. It feels ALOT better now. Should be even better after the next fluid and filter change.
