The wife's truck got worked snatching out all my shrubs (died by a late winter frigid cold snap) around my house. Of course it was the hottest day of the year so far & I decided to do hard work outside. Idiot. 
So this afternoon it got freshened up. Drained the oil via the Fumoto Drain Valve (hate that friggin thing. Waaay too slow). While the oil was taking its time draining, I removed the old oil filter as well as the Aliison Spin-on filter. Wiped off the magnet & placed it on the new Allison filter. Topped the filter off with Dex IV, lubed the seal cleaned the filter base & spun it on hand tight plus a quarter turn more. Now that the oil had finished draining, I wiped down the base, lubed the new seal & spun on a new AC Delco PF2232 oil filter. Crawled back up top & poured in 2.5 gal of Shell Rotela T6 Synthetic 5W-40. Topped off the wiper fluid & engine coolant & went for a spin around the block.
Nice easy afternoon playing with a dmax. Life's good.

Aww crap, I didn't think to ask anyone I shouldn't have assumed that nobody would have the stuff at home.
I've owned my '05 Sierra for just a year this month... Last year I immediately installed a Magnaflow exhaust along with a K&N cold air intake... Today I installed Pro Comp wheels. I LOVE how they changed the look of it!

And he thought he was cool when he got that turbo installed like."Yay! 200 ft lbs of torque baby!!"
I raced a turbo civic once as well... This one had ignition problems and was breaking up above 6k but he still managed to clip me at the end. That car put 650 hp to the tires on a chassis dyno with more to give. I pulled the car in a 20ft enclosed trailer, unloaded the trailer pulled the tail gate dropped the tire pressure and torsion bars and pulled in line with him. Loaded all back up the next day and pulled it all home, 6 hour drive one way
Neither of us had the best of runs the civic was capable of low 10's and my converter wasn't locking until 90 at the end of the track but it was fun anyway. The look on the lady's face when I told her I needed 2 T/T passes was priceless.[YOUTUBE]qF1OSbCbO7Y[/YOUTUBE]
12.50 something @ 105 or 6 I can't remember. The converter not locking was really costing me on the big end, it felt like it grabbed another gear when it did lock somewhere around 1100 feet... I also ran my 305 55R 20 toyo at's and the BMF's, not very good 60 footers
1.85 IIRC.I have a lock up controller now but haven't made it back to the track in a couple years... 6 hour drive is long way if you break it
He did think his car was quick...
Lol

Oh yeah man, those lil buggers can be made to move out, fer sure...
You can hear the timing issues and even physically see that car hesitating in the video
The civic I was up against was NOT that legit
Lol
His passenger sent me a vid of a roll race we did, he sent it via text and I can't seem to get it to laod, here. Had a nice in cabin shot of the civic with the digital dash reading125, and you can see my tailgate shrinking through the windshield

Guy couldn't believe that my truck pulled like it does, from any speed
LMAO
TORQUE BABY!

Guy's have gone faster with less... Some lighter better hooking tires and the lock box should net me a low 12 High 11 right before the rods start helping by lowering my compression:rofl:
Most don't expect a big truck to move out like that:thumb:
That Civic in the video is straight up violent. He just put new 1250 Horse axles in it and was trying to get the new engine combo shook out before taking it up to 1000 hp... I don't give a rats ass what anyone says that car was impressive. To bad his psyhco ex wife convinced him to sell it and move there family to Cali so she could divorce him... I really wanted to see if it had a 9 in it.

NOPE, that's one of the reasons I love these trucks sooo much
:woott:
Damn...that's unfortunate forbhis family situation.
And DAMN!
With the parts youre talking abiut and HP #'s like 650-1000, Im sure the car was/is impressive
Sucks he got rid of it, I'd HATE to get rid of my truck...
Although, I would trade it for a modded Grand Sport C6, or a centennial edition Z06
Used the truck to run me a couple hours away to pick up this gem! 85 SS all original with the cute little 305 but it's super clean, lbz swap perhaps:thumb:[/URL][/IMG]
Love me a clean G-Body!
