  1. I recently did lots of exhaust work on my '01 SE. I have 2 new catco universal cats downstream. And two new catco cats that are up by the headers. And a new Flowmaster muffler equipped w new tail pipes. All recently replaced due to upcoming registration and CA smog check. Little did I know when I took it in they neglected to probe the exhaust and even run the truck on the dyno. So I asked the technician why no probe and detailed readout with emissions levels and whatever. He told me 2000 and newer only require ECU check with OBD II reader and visual inspection. Nice!!! Time to get creative with new exhaust next time.

  2. 1. Alignment : YES. I run AC 2" lift springs with camber adjustment kit and KRFabs 4" drop in front without the swaybar.

     

    2. Wheels/Tires : I run Goodyear MTR's w Kevlar on rock crawlers 15x8. Tires are 35x12.5x15r. Had to do some trimming and hammering. Also run 2" wheel spacers all the way around.

  3. Was in the process of hooking up my trans cooler and while running the engine heard some slight noise from the front of the engine. Decided to open the water pump cover and inspect the timing chain... Chain has some slack. No buenõ. From here the plan is to order new : timing chain, chain tensioners, chain guide rails, water pump, thermostat and radiator cap. As well as have the radiator rodded and flushed by a specialist.(70$). Parts alone including radiator service will cost me about 600$. Thankfully my good friend is a mechanic with a full shop. This's all starts Thursday. Out of commission for a few days as well.
