Re: Thirdgen Tech "How To" Videos
are there any monetary kickbacks to these videos? I'm seeing them spammed on my local Craigslist as well. I think there are rules for having to be a paid vendor for items like this.

Re: Thirdgen Tech "How To" Videos
I'd like to see a vid of you removing the exhaust manifolds and exhaust for upgrades like headers and such. Seen a lot of questions about that. That would help a lot of people here immeasurably! Fuel pump change is another question a lot of people have too. Been a subscriber to you for a while now, so I know they'd be great and help out lots of people on here. Keep up the good work

Re: Thirdgen Tech "How To" Videos
I replaced my idler arm and the service manual called for a tool J 33093 to measure the distance between a machined surface on the relay rod and a bolt on the k-member.
Any idea how to use that tool?
A tutorial on how to remove and install all that steering linkage stuff would be great.
Edit: Never mind. Just found the video. Thanks!
Still got the question about the tool, though. The alignment shops over here never heard of it.
