Over the last few weeks a have gotten years worth of car work done with all my free time: Intake gaskest, New MAF, Oil Change, Diff Fluid Change, Took apart dash for light changes, Fixed the hinge on the gas door, and today I did the transmission fluid, Boy what A PITA that was. And according to the date on the filter and the brown color of the fluid this was the first time it was changed in 160,000k, wow. Good thing I only changed 1/3 of it. But the best part was when I finally found the block # and found that I had an alusil block! I was pretty excited. According to the block it was made from 97, but I wonder what year it was put in? Does anyone know if they made a huge batch of the in 97 when they started putting them in or if they continued to manufacture them?
Now if I can get rid of that damn 1221 code, I'll probably cry with excitement........

Still a good few weeks.......
