Where is LS Goat headed next?

I’m sharing the future build plans for my 2004 Pontiac GTO and explaining how I approach planning a car build. The goals help determine which modifications make sense and where the project goes next.

Do you plan your whole build first or decide one upgrade at a time?

These LED fog lights made a massive difference on LS Goat!

I upgrade the fog lights and turn signals on my 2004 Pontiac GTO and show how the new LED fog lights compare with the headlights. The difference really shows when you see them in action.

Would you upgrade your fog lights to LEDs?

SAVE YOUR PLASTIC!

Faded black trim doesn’t always need replacing. I use a plastic restorer on LS Goat’s grille to bring back the black finish after years of sun exposure and add protection at the same time.

Watch the application and see the difference on my 2004 Pontiac GTO.

Finish your paint touch-ups BEFORE installing badges or applying MAXL ONE!

I show the do’s and don’ts on LS Goat, my 2004 Pontiac GTO, how MAXL ONE brought back the shine, and why I treat it like a ceramic coating—including giving it time to cure.

A little planning helps you get the work done in the right order.

An engine oil change isn’t the whole maintenance plan for your Jeep.

I cover maintenance and oil and fluid changes throughout this 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe—and explain why neglecting them can lead to expensive damage.

Take care of the whole vehicle before a neglected fluid becomes a failed part.

2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe air filter change

I show how to get the old engine air filter out, what to disconnect for access, and how to put the new filter in. I also use a light behind the old filter to show the dirt it has collected. It’s a quick visual check you can try when inspecting yours.

Your scan tool can show an engine problem before the computer turns on the check-engine light—but only if you understand the live data.

Using the BLCKTEC 460T, I show the fuel trims from my 2013 Silverado 5.3L and explain how to read short-term and long-term fuel trim on both banks. We’ll cover what positive and negative numbers mean and how they can point toward unmetered air, a MAF sensor problem, a fuel-delivery issue, or another rich or lean condition.

My Silverado had a fuel-trim problem, but the engine computer never set a trouble code.

The scan data showed that the computer was adding fuel because unmetered air was entering the engine after the mass airflow sensor. I explain why that is considered a vacuum leak, why the intake system must remain completely sealed and how to safely clean the MAF sensor.

If the sensor must be replaced, I recommend sticking with AC Delco or Delphi. A cheap aftermarket MAF sensor can create more problems than it solves.
