Also, my Tundra needed a 100k service before taking it to SC, it is done but I still need to replace the timing belt on it as well....and my 4.8 needs a new LF airbag.....

By now I have seen enough of the chain guide replacement to know that it can get very involved taking off the bottom end of the engine and if I can get away leaving it on and only doing the guides/vanos, then I will do that. A lot depends on the wear of the chains though. If they need replacing it seems the bottom end will come off, I'll see when I get in there.

In the mean time September and October are bulging with work at the office....I guess I'll take it one day at a time. Love your gauge mod! Very crafty.
I hear ya man, one day at a time for sure. Couple questions for you sir.

- How was the airbag determined bad?
- Are the oiled chains a wear item? (Plastic guides are weaker, should wear first/most?)

Thanks on the gauge thing, definitely glad to be getting a more accurate read on water & stuff.
