replaced the hamster squealing serp belt with a gatorback... took 10 mins... and pulled the negative battery cable to reset an CEL that came on the day before... car wasn't running rough, so maybe it was a random misfire from all the wet weather we have been having... it hasn't come back on since... if it does ill go get a code pulled...

I did the Aux mod. I did have to move around the wiring in the mod for this to work but once you do that it sounds great.

Pressure tested her, relieved that in addition to replacing water pump/ t-belt and everything that goes along with that all I have is a valve cover gasket leak. I was going into it "Hoping for the best, expecting the worst" worst being a blown hg. Gonna drop in a new radiator while we're at it for peace of mind. Let the parts ordering hording begin, lol.
