When we were installing the new x-member you could grab the tranny mount and it had some wiggle to it. It didnt appear to be deteriorated..but it wasnt mint either.

Dude locally is selling some daystar poly engine and tranny mounts for 80. I may get em...
I will probably drop the oil pan soon and replace that gasket and the RMS, I get a quarter size oil spot right now when I leave it over night.

If you don't like the vibes you have now then I'd suggest you stay away from poly transmission and engine mounts.

I think I'm gonna seafoam mine too. I've actually never used the stuff before. I've used diesel to flush an engine out but not seafoam. I heard it gives varied results. How did it do in your case?

It's good stuff.

Turn it on, and dump some down the throttle body as you increase rpms..
It will smoke like hell out of the exhaust.

I pour some in my gas occasionally.


On another note..after this 4k oil change happens I'm going to get an oil analysis done

Wheeled er pretty hard today.

Got a few fluid leaks I need to sort out, anti freeze is leaking from the elbow of the rad, oil leaking from somewhere..dumb stuff. Got my brake lines on with no issues. Didn't have time for the hack n tap so it will have to wait.
Pics tomorrow.

There was a guy in Apison on CL a few days ago that had 15x10 chrome mods for $150. I paid $100 for mine, but they're 15x7's (I'd still run 35's on 'em though).

I'm excited to see it with new rubbers!
