    I flushed my heater core back and forth with garden hose until the water came out clean but the heat is still not like it should be. It's 40f here now and it warms up after driving for a little while but not like it should.

    Maybe the stupid control knob cable isn't working 100%??

    Is there a heater control valve on thse years? I can't find one

    after driving the truck for a while after i think the heater is working better.

    were a ton of little leaks all over, hoses, clamps, "safety" radiator cap.

    i think after today i will get all the tiny leaks stopped.

    it doesn't want to pull from the reservoir, probably because of the pressure leaks

    This upper radiator hard plastic garbage exploded 98 bucks for upper rad full piece

    I thought it was the hose leaking at the clamp but the plastic was cracked. Then it exploded off

    Yea, that's common. Summit has replacement metal inline couplers.

    Took off the k&n I'm not really a fan of these wet filters Noone ever does maintenance on them. And it was also ramming into that cable I think is something to do with the cruise control

    Yes, sag can be adjusted. IIRC I had my lower valance off so I could reach up in there. I had my bumper off for paint job. So get the bolts loosened up, then you can move/adjust the bumper.

    You can get it closer but it will still have a large gap. IIRC, the bottom of the grill in relation to the bumper prevents getting a tighter gap.

    i put a o2 bung back in the exhaust for the secondary o2. i was charging and doing updates on my tuning laptop, and the code cleared itself before i could clear it

    the o2 code came back, now its giving out of range, really lame that HPTUNERs can't turn off these codes

    i have a spark plug anti fouler i'm going to try that trick later today

    Maybe a model year thing? My 99 has had the rear 02 zip tied to the frame for many years now, never a code.

    After driving a couple days with the anti fouler the code went off by itself again.


    Hopefully it stays
