Yeah I would definitely use Lightweight Shockproof in your tranny and Heavy Shockproof in your Transfer Case. Also do that coolant recipe I posted on the first page. Your temps definitely drop which equals more power.

Exactly. I mean, there are some noticable noises (it's an 03 afterall) but not as bad as before. He's in tip top shape It's funny, when your car is happy, you're happy too lol. Thanks a lot for the help.

Have any of you using the Water Weter, seen any ill affects? I keep reading all these mixed reviews on WW, saying it turn in to Sludge or brownish color. Any feedback from those using it would be helpfull.

I used used redline water wetter once and would never ever use it again. It doesn't last every long. I noticed no difference in coolant temps when I used it. In less than a year it turned to brown oil which I though was a blown head gasket and had a really hard time getting it all flushed out. There is also a mega thread on water wetter with people that had similar experiences to mine.

i wouldnt use anything BUT oem fluids on drive train. radiator flush should DEFINETLY be done, its suppose to be done annually. brake fluid also absorbs water over time; also recommended to be done anually. so add both radiator, brakes AND clutch to that list.

to save $$$ i wouldnt go to a dealer but a trusted shop. i hear way too many stories of incompetent dealer mechanics destroying your car by forgetting to add fluid after dumping the old fluids. hell, do it yourself or atleast do SOME yourself.
