and if I can afford the 14x3 filter I can have that bad boy on by the end!

had some issues with the truck here recently, it died on me and had to have it towed but once the problem was diagnosed got her all fixed up, needed a new fuel pump!! wasn't gonna drop a tank that was 1/2 full so we took the bed off.

you guys would not believe how much better she drives!! truck must have been stated for fuel for some time now.

Recently pumped some grease into the front end joints and the old girl is riding like a gem! it's incredible what a difference that small detail made.

and just got some goodies today from Zach! (talon6) Thanks!

edlebrock cc shorties and a powertrax from Richmond!

heres the pillar/pods I plan on going with. Figure trans is good because these suckers are notorious for burning up. Gonna go with the fuel pressure because I feel like that is a good one to have when trouble shooting. still not sure what I should go with on the 3rd, feel free to comment. also threw in the trans cooler im planning on going with.

on this A pillar, does anyone know if I can put a speaker into my system if I dont have a speaker there stock?

If not will prob just go with the other pillar posted.

Maybe a vacuum gauge to measure the vacuum you have, the more vacuum, the more mpg's. That's what I have.

I have considered that, its mechanical so it would be a cheaper gauge, and I could always use more mpg.

I was trying to add the gauges mostly for monitoring systems that could cause trouble, and would give me a general idea of where to start diagnosing the problem.

Might look into putting a vacum gauge somewhere though..

Vacuum gauge could help if you have an issue caused by a vacuum leak too
