Got new Bilstine's on it with a tire rotation. It does ride better, but I think it has almost a floaty feel to it now. Changed the plugs, and wires. Used AC Delco plugs (gapped at .45), and Autolite wires. The ones I pulled where horrible. Have no idea on how many miles where on them, but I'm actually kinda surprised the thing even ran. They where all .75+. and Autolites! The old wires looked ok so I put them up for emergency spares...
Started the 3rd row 2-tone project.
Still needs a few more coats, especially at the seams.....so don't judge yet
Also found out that my Arnott compressor crapped out after a few weeks. Fought with a "hidden antenna" only to put my stock whip antenna back on. Oh yea, and started a new album. http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/album.php?albumid=3034

Installed passenger fog light laying on a wet ground while snowing. Wasn't fun but I got it done. And then upgraded my speaker wire to 8ga to my sub.

Are they gonna warranty you a new compressor? Did you buy shocks at the same time?

Had fun owning a ford mustang tonight on my way to a function tonight, actually got him 2 different times and the second he had a slight head start!! hahaha Always makes me smile!
Yea new compressor is on it's way. They won't make good for the labor though. I kind of wish I never bought it though bc I don't really trust their compressors now.

You had someone put the compressor in? It's really pretty simple to do yourself my friend, it comes with great instructions and theres not much that can be screwed up except the seal between the compressor and the dryer tank. Mine leaked a bit at first when I put mine in but all it took was a bit of silicone lube on the o-ring and making sure the fitting was solid when attached! Haven't had a problem since!
Only because it wouldn't stop snowing at the time and I don't have a place to work indoors.

Stupid question.....what purpose does the catch can serve?

Catchs all the oil that runs through your PCV system. So your motor won't burn that oil. Some engines need it more than others.
Burb.. I was reading up on then 2 months ago on Norcal SS' s page. I guess they are a must on our 5.3. Motor creates a lot of crank moisture.

X2 if that's gonna help the engine I'd like to get one and if anyone has a how to install that'd be great too.
Yes a Catch can helps. I have one.
BUT the big news of the day is:
I ditched the Torsion bar setup and have COIL OVERS up front & Adjustable shocks in the rear. talk about a major vast improvement. For those wanting to know more a review will be in the works later.

Buy this --> http://catchcans.com/can1.html then go to your local napa or whatever you have in your city and buy 5' of 3/8 fuel line and hose clamps to go with them (4). Take off your old PCV line. The one that goes from your drivers side valve cover to your intake manifold. Then measure and cut a line that will go from the vavle cover to the top of the can. then one that will go from the side of the can to the intake manifold. Then put the lines on and tighten down.
