I just got my svt contour out of storage today wow was that great I got my DD back

Wow 22mpg , I'm lucky to get 12-15 and all I got are some 31's on it. I'm changing the axles from 3.07 to 3.55 in the near future hopfully I get a couple miles back. I'm not complaining I get on it once and a while, but the highway sucks it down fast it bogs down at 65 70mph especially when I got a head wind or going up a hill it kills it, I loose mph's fast. I try to draft people to help it some.

I have had alot of decks and the best ones I have had experience with is JVC and pioneer. The low end pioneer are good also they can handle the vibration well and the bumps with out breakin your wallet. Find a decent new or used one a on ebay for cheap. I got a pioneer deck that plays mp3 disks and has way to much stuff on it and I don't know half of it, I have no idea what model it is I think a 8400 somewhere around there I got it for $200 and it works great. I havent had a luck with sony I think all there stuff is crap. I have the old sony out of my car and put it in the manche it barely get stations and skips when I hit a good bump. later

:thumbsup:

Will a battery make that much of a difference moving it 2 ft. :nuts: Its only 40lbs. It seems like that would be a pain in the @$$ just for a couple lbs.

I went and got some made at a shop around here. The ones they made me were thicker than the pieces that were on there. I have I think 4 leafs in the back thats the way I got it and it rides stiff . I don't know if they used 2wd leafs or not. Would bad shocks cause it to sag?

Yeah I replaced two lower leafs when I had my rear end out so that can't be it. I check on ebay all the time and they have some on there for a 2in drop . What kinda lift would that be for my truck? I don't need heavy duty ones I don't go wheelin hard or anything.

I have heard of people using chevy drop shackles, I don't know what ones to get. I don't need a big lift just a few inches to get the sag out of the rear end.

OK thanks

duh :wall: I didnt think of that, thanks. Just curious what do they do?

OK, my vac lines fell on the exhaust pipe and one or two got melted :mad: , What would these affect being melted? Is it ok to use 4x4 or is going to mess something else up? I noticed my dummy lights don't come on anymore

Right, I was talking about the push rods and lifters and valve cover. thanks for the info

ooooooooooo :eek: the fancy ones LOL jking, Yeah those should would. Make sure no loose caps. Also make sure you push the fuel rail on to the injectors very good. I can't remember if I put the injectors in the rail or in the head first one of the ways makes it a little easier, I used a little motor oil or a little grease to lube up the o-rings so they slide easier.
