I instantly noticed that Ryan was TIGHTENING the bolts instead of loosening them. When I told him what was going on he gave me the most awesome reply.

"well it's righty-tighty, lefty-loosey, right?" LOL

My reply was, "no, it's clockwise = tighten and counter clockwise = loosen, except for left handed threads." Ryan just looked at me sort of confused and said, "oh... yeah". It was a hoot!
Todd did he use a 1/4" socket?

funny thing happened the other day, the sun and our cars reminded me of it, so i was messing around with my car, unplugging the VDC controller, and my gauge cluster was sitting in direct sun, my tach stopped working for about 20 mins, i thought it had something to do with the VDC controller so i plugged it back in, still not working, went on my350 and did a search, it said that the tach cant sit in direct sunlight or it wont work, i thought that was total bull s hit and covered it to see if that would work....

it did, wtf thats some crazy stuff, no more problems with it...

Wasn't it Ryan who tried to use an english sized socket on a metric bolt when he did his brakes?
