    Nope. The shocks go on the control arms. They're not for doors.

    Mr. Galindo, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Well, we just replaced our summer windshield washer fluid with Winter windshield washer fluid...does anyone have the right spec for blinker fluid or the rear and intermediate muffler bearings?

    Actually, I fill mine with water and whatever is leftover from Winter when Spring rolls around. Then it's a guess as to how long I let it go before adding water or washer fluid because it eventually freezes if the timing's wrong. But a heated garage and turkey baster fixes that.

    Well, we go from bug splat to thick ice in a matter of weeks, it seems like...I hear that Auto Shack has a good deal on blinker fluid...and left handed monkey wrenches.

    On a more serious side, I emptied ANOTHER five gallon bucket of gear lube on Monday...time to find a good deal on the next 35lb pail:)

    Why new? can a local shop rebuild it for a whole lot less? I am used to $50 starter/generator/alternator rebuilds.

    Changed running gear fluids at 13,400. Front was goaty, rear better, transfer case best. Minimal magnet residue. Replaced oil with Amsoil 75-90. It's a tight squeeze getting under the front of a stock rc. I see a modest lift on the horizon. Side note....ultragauge mpg indicator jumped 2/10ths within 10 miles of driving. Oh, all 6 drain plugs came off without incident using a 1/2" drive ratchet, swivel breaker bar.
    Thanks for all the tips....made things easier.

    Just to confirm the 11 sport has a "auto LSD' so its not a true LSD meaning I DO NOT need the LSD additive correct.?.

    It doesn't hurt anything to use the gear lube designed for LSD in regular gearboxes...

    My neighbor was an Amsoil dealer. When he passed away his wife sold all his stock....those were $10/gal. Normally about 25, depending on where it's purchased
