What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Actually, my football nickname was "The Albatross" (think wing/arm span) and as the fellow in the Diet Pepsi ad says when asked if there is anything else he misses from the 70s "I'd like my hair back".

I washed my car, filled it with gas and started to prepare it for the hibernation period. Insurance removed it will wait out the next four months or so covered in the garage.

Replaced the return hose on the power steering pump on the black SRT, didn't need the reservoir, its on the shelf, along with a spare set of valve cover gaskets that I didn't need. Ordered 2 more of the correct hoses for the other two Crossies. The pump quit growling and the smoke is now gone. Easy fix, Thanks y'all.

Just the reason I still execute an oil change "the old fashioned way". Put the front end on ramps, removed the bottom engine shield, and then drain the oil pan. Seeing all that apparatus made my "head hurt".

Spill? Was it around the oil filter cap? Ppl tend to put the 'O' ring in the wrong 'groove'. Make sure it is in the 'second' groove from the rim of the filter cover/holder. Not right at that lip, but the next one down (if I remember the assembly correctly).

I put too much oil into the funnel and it tipped a bit thus sharing the joys of lubrication with a pulley or two.

A dirty car is the sign of dirty mind.

At least it went to bed yesterday with two new front tires, a custom made (and installed by me) windshield wiper reservoir, a successful Safety Certification which required a lense cleaning in order to pass all along with clean oil/filter and the surface dirt gone...

Installed TCU I had reprogrammed and now the car is shifting normal again. With the slicks on and shifting normal, I just need a track day. The weather has closed all the tracks around here. So all my test and tuning will be on the streets for now....love the new gearing now that we are shifting correctly again.

I picked up a Crankshaft for my SRT Engine rebuild. Flew Calgary to San Antonio and back with the replacement. Dropped it off today for polishing and inspection
