#238527 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7104 Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   OK, we often see or hear about new things we can do. Different MODS, a better Air Filter, BAK, AIS, Removing the fuel pump, venting gas caps, Plugs, Tires, Seats.... bla bla bla.... I would like to know what DIDN'T work. I've heard a lot lately about the NGK Iridium (spelling) plugs work good for about a month, then end up with a vibration or ticking noise. What else is a BAD idea or didn't work like it was supposed to? Many of us know the term "Written in Blood" and I just thought this would be a good place to tell others what didn't work, or at least what didn't work for you (it might have for someone else).   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/18 15:59 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #238529 jamie99roadstar (User) As confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar.

Moderator Posts: 3178 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Hmm, I wouldn't call the Iridiums a bad idea necessarily. We've only had one bad report and a bunch of good ones. But I digress. I've read about a few who've undone the "flip" because of bottoming out too easily if the load's on the heavy side.   Logged     FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #238534 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

I just used those as an example... the flip would have been a better example... Thanks What else? A few folks had bought a less expensive (cheap) sound system and they fell apart after a couple of months... I like that there are not that many responses to this thread, that means that most of what is posted does work!   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/18 16:16 By Darn.   Free, personalized tra   The administrator has disabled public write access. #238537 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts.

OK, the plugs might have been a BAD example.... have you tried anything else that didn't work, anything that you might want to warn people about?

Expert Boarder Posts: 404 Re:Lessons learned? 2 Years, 6 Months ago   Pretty much all of the mods I've done, I've learned on here, & they've all been good ones (knock on wood!). I would like to gratefully thank all of the guys on this forum who've gone before me & were brave enough to experiment with beter-then-OEM modifications & post them here to share.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
