coolant circ pump installed the other day, now I have heat !!!

bad news is last week got a flickering battery light a few times. Last night came on and was on for about 10min of a 20min drive home from the red wings game. On at startup today and did not go off, battery voltage with car running is 11.3V guess I know what to replace next :banghead:

Took it to the mountian today. Turns out the folding tail gate makes an excellent work bench for fixing my bindings.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 'no'.

But that won't stop me from buying one. :thumbup:

RB, its holding up really well so far. Been traveling quiet a bit on gravel roads lately too. We will see how it holds up to sand if it ever really starts snowing this winter.

Man those lip spoilers look good guys. I think I'll add one of those to my list.

I also had my replacement led tails waiting for me when I got home today. I got them installed along with the capacitors and theynlook great! I'm stoked. Too bad I never get to see them on.

Nope - just looks.

so I finally replaced the rear shocks on my non-air ride 01 yesterday since I had mlk day off.

I also realized I'll have to back in later on and replace the shock snubbers (or whatever you want to call them). the ones on the front were just fine.

the ones on my rear shocks look like friggin squirrels have been eating them!

the passenger side was the worst one, heck, you could see the shock rod in it. the hole was big enough I could put my thumb through it.

regardless I need to drive my vehicle so I just swapped them over and put the shocks in.

is this a normal issue with these rear shocks? they have seriously taken some abuse lol.

on a side note, the back end rides sooo much more stable then before. my original shocks had 147k on them and both were leaking from the top seal.

What shocks did you end up going with?

Dust boots always go hand and hand with shock replacment
