swapped out most of the old power steering fluid, and put new dextron 4 in.and emptied the oil catch can ,which is doing its job so far, just waiting for -30c weather for the test.
and figured out how to unlock the instrument cluster, which is super easy and its nice to see the actual temp of the engine and alt/batt volt. plus there is a few other things too.

It not only looks new, but I can actually see way better at night (sealed and guaranteed for 1 year).

Highly recommended for all you New Englanders!
That's a handy service!

Nope. Cave and buy the marker. . When I did mine I swapped side and rear bulbs to stealth. Looks clear when off and orange when on.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
@ JB, which markers do you have on there now? My TYC smoked markers came with new gaskets, and the set was only $25. I know those LED sidemarkers don't always come with new gaskets which is why I ask.

@ Sammy, awesome looking "refreshed" lights my friend, enjoy the better visibility at night! Did he use Opti-Lens on those by any chance?

@ mikem5, lets see/hear that exhaust!

@ Prop, your photos are dead! I want to see your beast shined up
