Made in Canada. It really is an 03 but made with 02 parts. Not a big deal until something brakes. So far 3 things that broke needed 02 parts not 03...............
Just a PITA

Thanks man! Yeah I really hope I won't need to do this in a while LOL still trying to get the damn exhaust attached to it which is giving me trouble because one of the flange bolts don't want to go in at all before I tighten them. Might have to just use some other bolt and a nut.... It's like a thing after a thing lol...

Alright so passenger side exhaust manifold done.. and new starter in place too. Wiring to started re-done and fixed my 4x4 vacuum lines which seemed to come apart where they were fixed before. I just took the plastic crap off and held them together while shrink wrapped together. We'll see in the snow in a few months if it works again.




New Starter




Ohh and I don't know if this is true or if it makes any sense putting it on, but my grandfather who worked in the army for 40 years fixing trucks and tanks; said that he always put / covered his bolts, rusty ones especially with anti-seise stuff and when it heats up it flows everywhere on the nut, bolts, etc... so that's what I did to try and protect them. I donno, worth a try I guess.
