Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good 4wd

More little things: the shocks were junk, so I slapped on a set of KYBs. Bit of a pain, as apparently there are lots of the old, white gas-a-just shocks still sitting on vendors’ shelves. Had to send two back, and go through two different suppliers to finally get four silver shocks, as mix-matched shocks just won’t cut it

Also freshened up the gauges and got the previously non-functioning temp and fuel readouts working. Temp gauge was disconnected under hood, and once connected, did not work at all. New sending unit fixed her up. Fuel gauge was likewise acting weird, swapped in a fresh sender, new fuel sock, re-wired the ground, and replaced fuel hoses while I had the tank out. Put in $50 worth of corn-free non-ethanol fuel and the dash reads 3/4 full
