Justin, wish you were out in Oregon. I would pay you to help me do the engine and let you borrow my 20 foot trailer.

Hi JJ and everyone else.

^roflmao

I would check the ac compressor, but that crapped out around june and I bypassed it. So, im just gonna turn all of the pulleys till I find the squeak. I replaced the alternator and water pump already, I think ill try royal purple max film on it first, as I won a free can from crown my car with my old car.

You are a good man, but a little tip would have been nice.
