Good evening, guys!
Got about 10 quarts of oil out of the Kia tonight. Otherwise it looks like everything is in order, it seems to be aging quite nicely. That was today's good news...the bad news is that the microwave quit. Drove to Blaine to pick up a new one, and now I gotta figure out how to install an over-the-range microwave. Looks like a fun time.

Good morning Jim, Dave and the rest of the crew!
A bit chilly out there this morning. I hope it warms up like they said. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Good morning, guys!
That's true, Jim, lots of Youtube videos out there for everything. I scanned through one last night and pulled the old one down this morning, it was pretty straightforward. I pulled the new one out of the box and found a healthy-sized dent in the bottom, looks like it's going back.

Good morning Jay!
Well I bought a 5 inch exhaust system for it and the electronic stand alone controller for the transmission. The factory ECU controls overdrive and tc lockup. I don't want to run those off toggle switches so the stand alone controller will make all that much easier. Should finish up the lowering kit tonight I got for it a few weeks ago. Project is moving along pretty good right now after getting stalled out last summer when mom got sick.

Any reason you didn't keep the factory ecu and use that for trans control?
This is the diesel project, right? From what I remember working with the older Chrysler is that the ecu is almost standalone by itself
