This past Sunday I was able to change:

Radiator cap
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
PCV Valve
Distributor cap
Rotor
All 6 spark plugs


And I cleaned up my throttle body

I owe the knowledge of how to do almost all of these things to this forum. I have been a long time lurker here, and wanted to register and post to thank all of you who have contributed your experiences here.

Using my but-dyno I would say it has a very little more power, but my main goal was to improve fuel efficency. At a minimum though, I know my truck (yes thats right, I call it my truck) won't leave me stranded from any of these components failing.

Total time invested 4.5 hours. Total Money, $138.
It took a while because most of these things were new to me, and it was a little more expensive because I bought quality parts from NAPA.

Welcome to the boards Gridlocked!! :cheers:

Like you I found this board and have used it to save some $$$. It is loaded with some excellent resources.

It's great to see that people are benefitting from the contributions. :grinyes: :rofl: :grinyes:
