The way the old window looked.
And below how it looks now. It's sort of changes the look of it from back I think. I like it.

Well just a bit of an update. Since changing the upper plenum gasket and isolator bolts last Friday. Runs, idles a lot smoother. No more surgin when at lights or drive thru. Gas mileage has dramatically increased. Was getting bout 9-10 mpg city and lucky to hit 15 on the highway. But now that everything is fixed and cleaned out I am getting 18-19 mpg city a s close to 22-25 mpg highway. Saving me a helluva lot of gas money. Thought I needed to change plugs but they weren't the cause of my probes. Stupid bolts and gasket lol. Here In near future I am goin change the fuel filter just cause I want to. Can't hurt.

Just wondering. What do y'all think about seafoam. Did it once and nothing much. Just thinking maybe since its all cleaned out egr ports a d such would it help to try it again. Last time I did it I didn't get much smoke or water from exhaust at all. Might been cause it didn't get into where it was suppose to go since engine was clogged up and sucking air so to speak. Your thoughts??

Back on track. I am happy now how truck is running and can feel more of the pep. Yeah I I is just a 4.2. But I feel it came more alive since fixed it.

Now to just fix the pesky oil leak between the motor and tranny. The gasket is bad now. Err. Not leaking bad. Truck sat for a weak and maybe a spot as big as a round doughnut was on ground. I just keeping checking oil every other day.

Ok so a lil update turned into a big one srry. LOLOL.
