Let me know how your back feels after you change those coils. I have to eventually change the ignition wires. Is there a way to remove the valve cover on the PCV side without removing the intake plenum? That would be wonderful.

Replaced both the front and rear washer fluid pumps that were burned out. Thought I had plugged lines or something when I first went to test them. Turned out I just needed to prime the pumps without the lines on first. Did that and they started spraying like new! Very simple fix! Also threw on a new rear wiper blade.

Gonna run to the home of the depot today and make a coolant bleeding tool. Just gonna get a threaded barb that’ll screw into the bleed screw and use clear tubing to feed the coolant back into the expansion tank.

Im hoping that I haven’t been bleeding the system long enough to get all the bubbles out so doing it this way I won’t waste a bunch of coolant

Put a TF steering damper in, installed my new gaiters for the range selector and park brake, and did the worst goddamn thing I've ever done in my life.... changed both up stream O2 sensors. I took out the passenger side one on the trail, figured I may as well replace in pairs. Passenger side took about 15 mins, driver side I almost lit my truck on fire.

Now I'm doing a down pipe in my M2 so I can hand it back in to the dealer - also not a fun job

Where did you get that front bumper from? I've been looking to upgrade!

@mikenac - I just pulled my coils to fix a misfire. My misfire was only bad when it had rained or was particularity humid. I opened them up and had a ton of corrosion on the ground plate side of the coil. Cleaned it off with wire brush and sand paper and the engine is back together and humming.



Good Luck!
