Please enlighten me on the speedo gear. I understand I can buy a speedo gear to help compensate for the 33s. Is that what I need? 32 tooth?
And nice! I wish I could go to the jamboree in wharton this weekend... But as always I have to work...

Man I tried too... It's all gone lol. It rained pretty good last night and I had a puddle in my floor I cleaned out before I went to church. The carpet and the underlayer just get nasty once a little wet

Pulled the back half of the carpet out and laid it n the sun for a while. The rear seats are out and the passanger side of the carpet is pulled out with a fan on it. I squeezed out as much swap as I could and shop-vaced every thing till it was only damp instead of leaking lol..
I think it can be saved!
I also cleened my throttle body and chand the front gear oil and engine oil. I'm gonna change it again next week with my regular mobil 1 10w 30
Running a cheep conventional with seafom to cleen it out of any water that might have gotten in and sludge lol.
Ther was just a tad bit water in the front diff not life or death.
