I replaced the fuel filter. it SUCKED to do, the filter housing was so try and creaky that i thought it was gunna break. (115k miles).

The stock filter was NASTY as @#$%. Black, with sludge in the filter housing and such.

Picture of old vs new included!

Yeah, it did kinda look a little loud. I stealthed mine. Black Plasti-Dip on the scoop, but red inside the foam that seals the I/C cover to the bonnet. It's an old pic (my bonnet and bumpers are also Plasti-Dipped now), but you get the idea:

K, so it was 2 days ago:

Installed the Stiegemeier rebuilt/ported s/c that has been sitting here since last Tuesday. So far, so good. It's making 16psi where the previous unit only made 14.1psi. You can definitely feel the difference in power....


No more worries about the w/p gears for a while....

C ya,
Dutch

Thanks! I had GoBadges make it for me. You can order one from them, it's under their "Clubs" category.
