Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Yes and since I have 8 screws in my back from getting disk fusion back in 2010, it's a little tricky leaning over for to long. Since the car is lower now too I had to take a lot of breaks, but I got it done.

that will slow ya down a bit. hope your not to sore.

i just did mine, and i have to say i thought about putting it on ramps before i started, but blew it off, being 6'6" my back and legs were pretty damn sore for a few days afterwards. lots of leaning over and my hips are way higher then the fenders.
 


HAHA, my little floor jack will not fit under my car so I had to grab a scissor jack to get it high enough to slide the floor jack under and lift it up to drop the oil and then flush some cheap oil through the motor. Amazingly though I looked at the flushed oil and there was NOT one drop of dex cool floating on top. Guess I got lucky when I pulled the LIM off and no fluid made it into the pan.
 
I have a low profile racing jack so i have no problems getting it under the car. The coolant usually settles to the bottom not the top.
 
i took my lower hose off the engine, and the dog bones, and rocked the engine back and fourth a bunch of times, till coolant stopped coming out the timing cover, then took the lim off nice and level like, not a drop spilled, and i didn't change my oil, its only 500 miles old and still looks golden.
 


I let the car drain over night after I pulled the lower and upper hose. I also lifted the LIM off nice and level. This is my first 3.8 LIM, but I have done many SB chevys and SB fords.
 
Changed my oil cleaned my air cleaner and swapped throttle bodies. Gonna try and get a wash and wax in if my air filter dries.
 
A girl sent me this pic and asked if i can make a decal for her
