Thanks. No it wasn't difficult. I have had other experiences putting in radios though but they all are pretty easy I think. Kenwood DDx371, ordered from crutchfield. Was one of the first things I did when I got my car.

Backed into the top of a metal well pump the other night. Unfamiliar with the driveway and forgot it was there. Left a gash about the size of a quarter. I was expecting much worse from the sound it made when I hit it.

Got an estimate of about $150-$175 to repair it completely. Looks like that will be the next thing I have done once Im done with my wheels/suspension.

Will post a pic tomorrow if I remember.

I refuse to shop at ECS for that reason right there. Tack on another $10 for shipping also. Absurd.

I was checking out the car and found that my CV Boot is cracked wide open...and have a nice rattle coming from something.....thought it was my belt tensioner so I bought a new one....still rattle....It sounds like it comes from the back maybe downpipe??? just been hoping it last until I can find work and get done with school...November will have some money to dump into it. I know I need a new exhaust downpipe back to the REMUS. I will try to post a video this weekend.

Taking the day off tomorrow, started my heater core job tonight. Got a pretty good start. Pass airbag is out, most everything in the middle. Can still drive it, have a 9:00 AM tomorrow to suck out the R134a, then I go at it hard all day.

Well, she started stalling at idle, and not wanting to restart for about five minutes afterwards, so I clean the Mass Airflow Sensor, thought I had it licked, but it just did it again. Now, I'm thinking fuel filter. Strange.

Try running it with the MAF unplugged. If it runs better and doesn't stall out, it's most likely that the MAF is bad and is certainly not the fuel filter.
