    6 holes were in for the antennas and 1 for the lightbar. What is another 15. B-)

    I drilled the hills and then smeared silicone around all the bare metal.

    The wiring isn't bad. It would have been a lot easier if I took the entire headliner out. But I had enough to work with pulled down in front only. I write aftermarket lights and emergency lighting, it took me 3 hours. Not bad

    Yea mine just started around 42k, and at roughly 44,500, it has been driving me insane.

    I bought a neoprene fender washer (2 inch wide, 1/4" opening, and 1/8" thick) an slid it down between the windshield and dashboard. For me, the rattle was coming from the dash hitting the window and kind of moving around, so this is holding it in place and keeping it silent.

    I might take it back out and trim it some because I can see the very top of it, and I might pick up another of the same size, just 1/16" thick to pair with it and get a little tighter of a fit.

    I have a photo in my build thread if you need to see it. Lol pretty simple though. :thumbsup:

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Seafoam'd the intake and fuel system and added a few rubber washers to the PWM valve mounting bolt to calm the "ticking" down a bit.

    Whaaaat? You never scooped up the foam from sea water and poured in into the air intake or into the gas tank? :rolleyes:

    Holley makes a water injection system for cars with carburetors. This can't be too different from that can it? :rofl:

    I think it works. Not sure how well it works in a newer vehicles like my truck, but in my 20 year old VW, it makes a noticeable difference ran through the intake system. Itll smooth out the idle and make the car run better. If makes a difference in my truck, cool, if not, it was only 7$

    You guys remember a while back, a guy added NOS energy drink to his tank thinking it would help his injectors?

    This is how things like that get started :facepalm:

    Yeah, it works but you'll think you rig is on fire from all the smoke coming out of the exhaust. Puts even the best burnout to shame. :D
