Well got the tool and a WIX fuel filter on order should be here in a week or so. So, servo this weekend, tranny flush and RP replacement Monday, fuel filter and oil change next weekend, e-fan conversion first week of June....

Should keep me just busy enough not to have to do yard work.

Hey TY, this guy(the HD hood guy) has OEM e-fans for $150 if your looking for one.

damn everyone is hitting me up this week trying to sell me stuff i REALLY want!

you should see some real MPG gains with that list of tune-up items. you should think about getting a can of sea foam to put into the gas tank on the fill up after your new fuel filter is in, it will help push out the remaining "crap" that was left behind in the fuel system.

and if your like me (love some good old fashion overkill) get a couple cans of sea foam and run half in the crank case a week or so prior to your oil change and run the rest into your vacuum line

Just wanted to ask, at how many miles should a fuel filter be changed?

I just foamed the intake last month, I do it every six months or so but I'll probably dump half a can in the tank when I do the filter......

Ty or Grocery,

Take off the vortec cover and there is a hose that goes from the TB down to the block on the passenger's side. You want to take the block end of the hose off,it's on a little L shaped nozzle, it should slide right off. Now, either have someone give the pedal a little nudge or wedge a tool in between the gas pedal and the underside of the dash so you get a little rev in the engine then either pour(faster) or let the hose suck it up until it is almost all gone then really plunge it in there and stall it out or if you poured it in just and it didn't stall just turn it off and let sit 30 min or so.....

So this is done with the engine running? And you pour it into the hose or the block?

Just me not being a mechanic and all but that sounds pretty scary....am I just a pssy?

Yes-engine running
NO-not INTO the block, into the Throttle Body. You want to pull the hose OFF the block so you are pouring/sucking into the TB. It's really nothing at all.
