On the agenda are: valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, crankshaft sensor o ring, supercharger oil change, stage 1 resistor on radiator fan, and a crankshaft gasket. Hopefully will stop all the le...

Window motor

Anyone have their window mechanism repaired at Baron's? What did it set you back? Mine's stopped. Doesn't make any noise. I'm guessing it's the motor.

Hagar, where online did you buy your camshaft sensor? Mine is causing the SES light and ASC. Was it difficult to change?

Re: Plug gaps and torque?

Thanks for the info, Dave! :) I just used them with the preset factory gap. Running much smoother. I was overdue for plugs. I wish i would have known about the coil. I went ahead and installed it too. I bought it online and rather not return it. It's only money, right? :roll:

Re: Plug gaps and torque?

Thank, Dave. Yes, I double checked the plugs and they seem to be gapped correctly. What would the benefit be to open up the gap to .065 per the coil pack instructions? Just curious.

Re: Floor jack?

Picked up the 1.5 ton. Should I have sprung for the 2 ton?

Also, recommendations for a good, economical, torque socket rachet?

Awful smell in my car this morning. Felt lead to check the cabin air filter and found a mouse's nest and four dead mice sitting on top of it. Ain't that nice. :shock:
