I bet the friction pads fell out of your leafs when you were putting your aal in. Guaranteed that's what ls making them squeak. They look like nothing, but without them the leafs make a lot of noise

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...

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.
