(Before y'all get upset, it was a goof but it was used to capture and document what was leaking with initial production vehicles)

It's all DIY if you want to go there. It did work even without the Huggy!

I had a number of paragraphs under the "ad" explaining what the diaper was really for, but pulled it as I questioned if I was posting info that was something I should not have.

There's no expectations of anyone really using it, although it was under my truck for over 12k miles.

As far as brakes just check each component as you take each off to see where the problem lies. And remember some pads have nubs on the back for noise insulator retention which can chip the phenolic Pistons if the piston are not retracted fully.

No, I'm waiting for the ordered OTC tool to show up so I can remove the rockers and inspect them and the pushrods. Latest ship estimate is 3/28. Kept waiting for a cheap version to pop on eBay but it never happened.

From the data I collected in the fall/winter from IDS (when I thought it was just an injector issue) it looks like I need to replace 2,4 and 8 from the uncompensated data graphs. I made vids 'cause I thought I'd collect data to show what cold weather stiction looked like, if Archoil would fix it, and if not how an injector would.

And I've waited as I didn't want to get this motor open then have a weather delay until this old body wanted to get back in.

Jack the lower cost rocker tool won't show up on Ebay
because I got it about 2 years ago/ Worked really hard
on finding it and jumped on it when it showed up.

Sean,

I just meant a OTC 303-1170 that was being recycled.

Freedom Racing has been out of stock for some time.

Used the silverbullet to move the daughter back home, until her new place is ready.

i dont think its the noise makers... the passenger side tire when i jacked it up is hard to turn like the brakes were still gripping it.. ive had glazed pads before that squealed... just havent had time to pull the tire off yet to really look at it... might get to it on the weekend...

I think I paid about $50.00 for the one on Ebay. Maybe a bit less
because I am such a cheap ***.

Mine has less shine on it bout it's all there.
