    Lug nuts

    Nope, if you ever park your car anywhere other than your driveway. Even then, you better sleep with one eye open.

    Same tire size all around?

    The difference must be between 3% and 6% (personally I believe the range to be tighter than that... 3%-5%)

    New Tires, Good Replacement for the BF Goodrich

    The link didn't work, so I pulled the info from the link you posted

    Same tire size all around?

    Dude, you've been on this site for such a long time. Why post this misinformation?? Look at the confusion you caused later in this thread. The staggered wheel sizes has nothing to do with '03 vs '04. It has nothing to do with '03A vs '03B. It has only to do with traction control. The only...

    Lug nuts

    This is a good reason to use the Gorilla nuts. If you enjoy a false sense of security, sure. With ANY Gorilla key, they don't have to. Grind away all but one spline from the key, and you have a tool as good as a socket. Better, actually, because it's impact rated. They do look really nice...

    oil pan puzzle

    I'm no welder, but this doesn't make sense. Welds don't "adhere" to anything, unless you're talking about JB Weld.

    5¢ shift kit

    Been watching this channel for a while now, before looking for some info on the 4R70W/AODE/AOD. This video shows an AOD, but he mentions the same hack in another vid on the 4R70W: https://youtu.be/HGptqCo65LE?t=796s

    4R70W Video and Pictures

    Came across this teardown vid on a channel I find overly informative: https://youtu.be/EWj-EwUrJHM

    Exhaust to EGR tube and coolant crossover mod

    My '03 stock MM with it's 485k km, original heads, original hoses and no cooling mod would like a word.

    Coolant flow diagram/theory and thermostat placement

    This system also gets heat blowing into the cabin much quicker in cold weather.

    Battery Connector

    I pour hot water from my kettle onto the battery terminal to get rid of the blue stuff. Works instantly and is completely touchless.

    Black MM at Seekonk

    I started watching these recordings of Spectator Drags at Seekonk Speedway. Came across this one featuring a black MM. Driver wasn't too good, and his competitor ultimately won the day. For the impatient, jump to: 0:40 5:30 13:23 https://youtu.be/sLZ5JFD0bKk

    Bench testing suspension compressor

    Dead, but maybe can be revived. Remove the 4 screws holding the pump to the electric motor (some may break, but as long as there's at least 1 good screw you should be okay. Now, without trying to pull the two halves apart, twist them until they break free from each other. You'll probably need...

    EGR Valve Block-off Plate

    Removing functioning parts from an engine bay because they don't look nice has got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. For a concourse trailerqueen maybe, but on a car that sees the streets? Makes no sense. My battery looks pretty lousy. I hate the way the HVAC blower motor...

    Flat back diff covers = bad for the bearings...

    To be fair, this series of videos hasn't actually provided any numbers yet. I hope he releases the final video showing the actual research results - until then, he's just building hype for a new product. But to be even more fair, he did wreck his dynomometer, so the lengthy delay isn't entirely...

    Best bulbs for headlamp

    +1 for the GE Nighthawks. Philips XTremeVision are good too. To improve visibility, go for a +90% or higher bulb with an unfiltered glass envelope. ie no blue filter which actually cuts some lumens output/lux. Both the Nighthawks and the XtremeVision have unfiltered envelopes.

    Code P2197 is driving me crazy :(

    Wow, talk about throwing parts at the problem. What actual diagnosis did you perform, if any?

    What did you do to your car today?

    I don't know, maybe 20 lb? I haven't been fishing in a few years, and that line is at least 10 years old. I got a baitcaster reel ages ago. I'm not sure I ever cast it properly, certainly not as far as my spincast, despite being mounted to a much longer pole.
