What did you do to your Car today?

Thanks guys for the compliments!

I have no idea how it affects the light output at night. Maybe I will test it out one night. I switched over to 4000k HIDs so I have more light output with these on.
 


got a gm 6.0 truck driver side exhaust manifold off today, installed new studs, cause 3 of the bolts were snapped off, one, the back one, broke off inside the threaded hole. bummer but not defeated. its not even leaking right now lol never sounded better really.

new studs installed. and plug wires, they of course ripped apart when removing them.

the 3 nuts to from the manifold to the exhaust pipe, my god, those were tight, i had a good 2 foot of leverage going on lol.

and for the back bolt, they sell a clamp on C clamp type thing, its on order.

Determined I am going to set fire to the mother effer.

So lets see. I stopped at Advance last night and picked up a wheel bearing. Got up this morning, changed driver's wheel bearing..... still have a growling noise. Figured okay, the passenger side needs changed. Went around the rest of the car and found my brake fluid leak in the right rear caliper at the e brake mechanism. Get online, order caliper, order another bearing, go in town and pick it up.

Come home, change rear brake caliper, get my mom to come pump the brakes for me so I can bleed it. I proceed to change the right wheel bearing. I go for a ride, the growling is still f$cking there. On top of that there is a metallic noise that can be heard at low speeds that sounds like something hitting as the wheel spins. After several attempts at figuring out the metallic noise I take the front wheel back off, take the caliper off, make sure brakes are all aligned, put it back together, go for another ride, and the metallic noise is still there.

I do the same to the passenger rear, and the F$CKING NOISE IS STILL THERE.

SO now, not only did I spend $200 on wheel bearings and my time to replace them and it didn't fix sh!t, but now I have a new noise that I cannot diagnose.

The only positive that came out of the day was I found where my brake fluid was going, and I may have fixed my disappearing power steering fluid problem with a hose clamp.

RAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE
