What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Getting some new rubber today.

I went with Falken Wildpeaks AT4W

I had the AT3W before and had good luck with them.

Anyone have these? How did you like the 4 compared to the 3?

 

I have the 4. No complaints. Little rougher ride than the 3 due to the stiffer carcass since they were designed more for the working mid size truck, but nothing I find to be an issue.

Finished rebuilding a set a shocks.

 

Wow

Wtf

Talk about a field repair

 

So you're just gonna tease us with those Regal goodies? Welcome to TW!

 

These getting installed right now.

 

I C wut yew did dare!

 

A few coats of this stuff. Use it on everything that isn’t porous. I also keep it covered a bit.

 

Dear lord, can’t imagine how long it took you to even diagnose what the problem was…much less the time it must’ve taken you to pull the top (been awhile for me, but intake manifold?) off to get at that harness!

 

No bends in the "nice" wheels? I thought I saw a ding in the crash pic and cringed for you.

 

HKS sock for the win.

 

Did you come up with that idea solely on your own, or did you have to lace someone else in?

 

I would cry if I scratched those. My first rock chip, in my old Advans, gave me a seizure.

 

It was actually surprisingly easy. Fired the truck up and saw the CEL, which was surprising. Truck idled fine, and drove fine, except under harder acceleration, it would 'buck' every few seconds.

I opened the hood and the mouse had left behind a massive nest, which went all the way from deep in the V all the way up to the top of that black engine cover we have.

I pulled out handful after handful of fluff.

We also carry an XTool D8 (a fancy dealership level ECU/OBD2 reader/scanner) and the code pulled up the Bank 1 Knock Sensor failure. My wife had previous 'mouse eating wires' problem several years earlier when she was in school.

But yeah, you have to pull the MAF, Plastic Air Surge Tank, the secondary injection system, the aluminum intake manifold, and the primary fuel rails just to get to a $35 dollar wiring harness. It took ~6 hours to swap the harness.

 

Coming along…

 

Do you have the C rated or E?

 

What Dobinsons set up did you go with? 314 coils? I've been looking into going with the IMS kit. Definitely post some pics when you get it back together.

 

Finally had warmer weather and between the spring rain to install my pnp harness from @daveeasa so the back lights would work on my DD SS3 pro fog lights with my factory L.E.D. headlights and DRLs.. Thanks again @daveeasa . Pics coming soon.
