Drove it to Odessa and back breaking 2,000 miles on the way home. Not bad for having it a month and sitting in the garage 5 days a week.

Picked it up... They got all but one set of speakers installed in the time they had to work on it...

On the plus side, I have cargo space again, the sub box looks great, and you can't see my amps :thumbs:

Why buy new when you can restore?

PICS!!!

I'm changing 3 of them...

Two new ones going in before the cat, and one of the pre-cat ones is going after the cat :lol:

There was a noticable performance difference with my new cap + rotor :facepalm:
Wait, don't the S-series have 3 total (1 on each side after the header, and 1 post-cat)?


Gotta go figure out how to remove the ECM. Looks like I need to remove 3 screws to get the bracket out that holds it. This is really stupid since the Silverado was just move a big metal strap/clip and slide it out :dunno:.


Yep... The only important ones are pre-cat, so those are getting the new ones...

The post cat sensor trips the check engine light until I make an appointment to take it into the shop :lol:

The o2 sensors on the S-series can actually be bad enough to cause issues without tripping the check engine light :(

As for the ECM... I'm not sure how that sucker comes out :lol: Shouldn't be too bad, just be very careful :thumbs:
The ECM is slid into a plastic tray thing that is bolted to the coolant overflow tank by 3 10mm bolts. In order to get the ECM out of this plastic tray, you must take the tray out first (with the ECM) otherwise the ECM would hit the overflow fill cap. The hardest part it unplugging the bottom two connectors.



Drove it to work and back with the "new" ECM and the entire time having my speedometer off (the ECM is programmed for 3.42 gears and I have 3.08). Gonna leave in through at least tomorrow and see how it goes.
