- having serious problems uploading pics - please respond for more - I have 8 megs of zipped images and can take pics of anything else.
140,000 miles. This one will make it to 300,000 miles no problems. Its been pampered. Has spent most of its time in the Carolinas...
A guy from LCOOL had an idea that I read about a while ago. You might want to look into this and think about it. Great idea. Simple tool to make.

Hope it helps a little. :flipoff2:
Out of curiosity, how much is the 120,000 mi. service kit? Does anyone have a ballpark idea? I'm at 135,000. Never really heard about this kit before. Thanks.

Right. Speed bleeders. They rock. I was having the same or similar problem. I'm going to try the teflon tape idea. When you get the speed bleeders - remember there's a nipple up at the LSPV. I didn't and now don't have one there.
I was going to use Delrin on my truck. In the way in which its loaded (compression with long bolts running through it) it would work great. Depending on the particular formula of delrin - it might outlast Aluminum. We just happened to have some aluminum that was already cut into the perfect...
Saw some at NAPA last time I was there and I thought I would give it a shot. The can promised 2-7hp! Yeah right - but for 3.99 it was worth a try. I cleaned per the instructions and noticed little to no effects at all. I think anything that I did "feel" was placebo or wishful thinking. Just...
"Especially the green ones, that's the meanest color of all. :flipoff2:"
I could've swore that the black one's were waaay badder.:flipoff2:
They wear their pinstripes like badges of honor - they show 'em off.
