heh thanks dude. question is... is the sound worth the price I paid? I mostly did it for the life of the head gasket... I can almost guarantee that it wont blow... especially the way I drive my truck.

^^^ thanks, I forgot about that. I have the clear tubing and the fittings for it already... ( pulled them off a 3vz block ) but its definitely something I need to do... gonna relocate the rear to the tail light, and the front to the top of the engine bay.

Anything else? I've already had brakes serviced... so those dont need to be touched.

I might do a diff drop when I put my front diff on with the BJ spacers... I want those CV joints healthy so I dont have to replace them for awhile.

I could grease all the U joints and such... ball joints are good ( remember, only 144k miles ) Dark_fairytales has like 300k+ on his ball joints and they're fine. mine are not warn or torn at all. the tie rods look fine... I did include the idler arm and alignment, but I do need a brace.... I dont need a grease gun, I'll just bust out a rubber glove and grease them up.

I also just remembered, I need a third member gasket and some sealant.

that would be Autozone around these parts, blackgate...

and mike, just an FYI, there is no 3rd member gasket... its called using sillicone... i used blue RTV when i did the 4.88s in the runner...

if you need help, let me know... seeing as tho ive done it before...

oh yea, have fun with the fronts... they are a major PITA... took me 3 hours just to pull the front...
