well, two days ago I changed my DLRs to 4114's, and added the rubber washers to my HIDs in my lows like Kyle(thunderstruck) mentioned to keep moisture from getting in my headlamps. Yesterday I also simple greened my engine compartment in preparation to swap my 105a alt to a 145a atl.,

I didn't do anything to it yet... But it's getting idler and pitman arms changed... as well as tie rod ends IIRC... Extended warranty FTW.

Picked it up from the dealership... James forgot to tell them about the steering clunk and the hesitation/power issues...

But at least it feels a whole lot safer!
New idler/pitman arms and inner/outer tie rods!

Steering clunk is apparently the intermediate steering shaft...

I replaced my 105a alt with a 145a alt out of a totaled TB with less miles than my truck, for only $45 shipped, moved my engine block ground to a new spot(from the big 3 upgrade), voltage is now much more steady under regular loads, and hold better voltage with my system cranked way WAY up, changed my serpentine and accessory belts, and cleaned the engine bay a little more..sorry no pics this time..maybe when I get later this weekend!!
