    "A4LD X's when did your tranny go?

    170-180k mine seemed to start slipping around 170k and then stopped. just now started to stick in first gear unless i ease off and then it will shift. probably lost 2nd gear from what i can tell but i havent gone to a tranny shop yet. I'm expecting to need the "R" word sometime soon.

    Sway Bars

    so... for a 100% street ex, after better shocks, is it poly bushings & aftermarket bars or no sway bars at all? If i understand right, the ride is better without sway bars, but cornering is better with the stiffer ones...right? :confused:

    Custom gauge faces that you can make out of paper

    cool idea but what about fading, wrinkling and stuff like that? I'm not sure how long paper faces would look good.

    heat riser

    :CAUTION: :roll: removing the heat riser will cause your truck to be lighter than the warm air under the hood and your truck will float away...nah i'm J/k ;) Some people remove it some don't, It just warms the air on cold starts, I removed mine with no ill effects. Do a search on...

    Green Light on amplified Thunderform???

    I may be wrong but on an older Pioneer amp I used to have, there was a green light that stayed on all the time, and a red one that meant the amp was on. I believe the constant current for the amp was designed to keep the circuits active or from getting too cold. Or like I said I could be wrong.

    Airbox

    ahh... now that depends on who you ask. It seems most guys didnt remove it when they removed the airbox for the kkm. kkm says to remove it so I did. I don't notice my truck taking any longer to warm up than before, but it hasnt been really cold here since I installed mine.

    Airbox

    the flex tube part is the heat riser assembly. it comes off an exhaust manifold to the cold air intake. its designed to help warm the engine by warming the air entering the engine on cold starts.

    Fishtailing

    so overall do you guys think the LS axle is better for traction or worse? just curious... I have the open 3.08 so its next to impossible to accidentally fishtail my X, and somewhere down the road i'm thinking 3.73 ls...

    I need some ideas/help with building a custom center console/sub box.

    console brackets? I dont know what year Ex you have, or if you have actually had the center console out, but in mine there is a large bracket that the console mounts to. Not impossible to remove but probably a PITA.

    Firestone Replacements Stink!

    do a search I believe there was a thread on the goodyear rt/s before. To me they are harsh and noisy. Mine kinda remind me of that time I rode with Fred Flinstone...

    Your Favorite Song to Bump?

    let me clarify the line I quoted was 2pac from the "all eyez on me" disc. B.I.G., Santana, "raise up", "Bia Bia",and "Set it off in this mutha" all get play in my truck. Can't forget Mr Bob Marley, AND for you non hip hop heads... the donward spiral, Back in black, dark side of the moon...

    new radiator, Tranny lines drip drip dripping...

    the leak is at the brass fitting between the old lines and the radiator. I'm thinking its still not tight enough but I know that some threads are supposed to show.

    new radiator, Tranny lines drip drip dripping...

    I need some advice guys. I installed a new radiator yesterday, and the cuplings to the tranny cooler lines are seeping. it seems to be coming from both ends of the brass fitting on both the upper and lower lines. These lines were a beast to get off the old radiator so I'm wondering if I should...

    Audiobahn is garbage? Say what?

    just my .02 of a dollar but has anyone else noticed it seems every "audio guy" at any store has his best/worst company predietermined? The worst always seems to be something they dont carry (or carry much of), and the best is always " (insert company name here) .... its what I have in my car".
